Huge excitement is already building for The FPS (Federation of Petroleum Suppliers) oil & fuel industry event of the year FPS EXPO 2017, taking place on 10 and 11 May at the Exhibition Centre, Liverpool.
“Following the success of last year’s show, we cannot wait to exhibit again at the ECL in 2017,” says Dawn Shakespeare, Marketing and Events Manager for oil distribution trade association FPS, and organiser of the exhibition.
“Given the number of visitors and exhibitors we had for the event last year, it’s so exciting to think we’ll set new records again next year, with more stands available and an extraordinary level of interest even this early.
“It just goes to show how significant our show is for all professionals within the oil and fuel distribution industry.”
In total, FPS EXPO 2017 has capacity for 147 stands, and 70% of stand space has already sold. New exhibitors for the 2017 show include Boilerjuice, Argent Energy UK Ltd, Magnetol International, OLE UK Ltd, Online Fuels Ltd, Greenergy, and Total Lindsey Oil Refinery, who will exhibit alongside long-standing firms like RTN Lakeland Ltd, MAN Truck and Bus UK Ltd, Williams Tanker Services, Phillips 66, and Emco Wheaton.

“During last year’s FPS show, a great number of industry professionals, 90% of whom were decision makers, travelled from across the UK and Europe as well as from as far afield as the USA and China, to see and experience the new products, technology and services offered by the vast array of exhibitors,” comments Dawn Shakespeare.
“Visitor numbers were up by 15% on 2015 – which was largely due to the brilliant new venue in the fantastic city of Liverpool. The venue was perfect last year and exhibitors and visitors alike are overjoyed at the prospect of being back in Liverpool next year, and we fully expect a further marked increase in visitor numbers to match the increase in stand numbers.”
FPS EXPO 2017 will feature manufacturing companies, service suppliers and technology businesses from the UK and Europe, who want to show their newest products, services and technological advances to an eager audience. In addition, the show boasts great opportunities to network with like-minded industry experts, to exchange ideas on best practice, and to enjoy socialising during the networking events.
“FPS EXPO is about bringing professionals in the oil and fuel distribution industry together with key companies in the sector, enabling them to network, reveal their latest products and exciting new technology, and engage on core issues within the industry – and all within the spacious, relaxed and central location that is the Exhibition Centre, Liverpool,” adds Dawn Shakespeare.
“We already have two networking events lined up for FPS EXPO 2017 – the President’s Drinks Reception for exhibitors and visitors to mingle on the opening night of Wednesday 10 May, and the After Show Party on 11 May. Last year’s After Show Party was a phenomenal success and sold out in advance so we encourage anyone thinking of joining us for another great night to book your tickets as soon as possible!”
