The heatwave and fantastic looking exhibitor stands attracted high volumes of visitors to the first day of SOLEX at the NEC with organiser Phil Gibbs admitting that Hall 5 was buzzing with activity.

"The exhibition is looking fantastic and there is a buzz about the place," said Phil (pictured right).

"If you're considering coming to the show over the next couple of days, then make sure you do because you won't be disappointed. There are more stands than ever and they've got lots to show you.

"We've had a great start to the show."
