A new heating & plumbing pavillion is being launched at Interbuild 2008 (26th – 30th October, Birmingham’s NEC) with the support of the Association of Plumbing and Heating Contractors (APHC). This new area will be entirely dedicated to showcasing the very latest developments from across the heating, plumbing and ventilating industries.

“This is the second consecutive year that APHC has actively supported Interbuild and we’re pleased to see plumbing and heating having a more prominent presence at the show,” says APHC Chief Executive, Clive Dickin. At the 2007 show, 25 per cent of the 44,000 plus visitors cited a specific interest in heating and plumbing related products. Growing importance of achieving energy savings through more environmentally efficient heating and water technologies is spurring an upsurge in the specification of products and practices that exceed current building regulations.

The Interbuild Heating and Plumbing Pavilion will demonstrate innovative developments and host a face-to-face, drop-in advice clinic. APHC personnel will be on-hand throughout the full five days to give visitors and exhibitors their informed opinion on specific problems or projects. Several seminar programmes across the entire show will also carry Continuing Personal Development (CPD) points. Located in Hall 3, a lounge and bar will take pride of place in the pavilion, with APHC member stands in the surrounding area, reveals the organizer’s press release.
