The organisers of the International Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show in Melbourne, says the highest level of business confidence in Australia for more than five years is reflecting in the number of exhibitors already signed up.
“Confidence in the market means people are going to be looking at growing their businesses – finding ways to expand, network and invest,” says ITTES 2016 show director Simon Coburn.
According to Coburn, the confidence in the market has been evident with some businesses already signing up to exhibit.
“We believe this to be a great sign that many visitors to the Melbourne Truck Show will come along with a rejuvenated perspective and the confidence to create business contacts and make informed investments,” he says.
A survey released in January by Sensis Business Index (SBI), confirmed that more than three times as many businesses are now confident as those that are worried.
According to the SBI report, business confidence has reached its highest level from that in March 2011.
The International Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show will also run in conjunction with two inaugural showcases, including the Roads & Civil Works Expo and Waste Management in Action, all taking place at the Melbourne Showgrounds on 5-7 May.
