Setup
Our Utility Week journey commenced on an early Monday morning as the Meon setup team departed from our main office in Portsmouth, heading for the NEC equipped with our new show stand, that we could not wait to show off.
After the hard work of the setup team, the stand was looking superb and was ready for the next couple of days.

On Tuesday the Meon event team departed from our headquarters in Portsmouth, filled with anticipation for a productive day of engaging with industry experts. The team looked forward to networking, showcasing our innovative reinstatement and surface repair products, offering advice and expertise to Utility professionals, from all over the UK.
The NEC exhibition hall was packed with professionals from the energy, water and gas sectors. The opportunity to discover brand new ideas and find inspiration from new solutions and innovations for the industry proved incredibly popular, an opportunity that could not be missed by thousands of utility professionals.
The atmosphere of the NEC was surreal, each conference theatre was packed, as practical advice and ideas were shared across both days of the event.
