The latest maintenance ideas were pitched to industry expert ‘Lions’ at a Dragons’ Den-inspired contest that was  staged at  the easyFairs® MAINTEC show on the 29th-31st March, NEC Birmingham.

easyFairs® MAINTEC offers services and technologies that help improve efficiency, reduce environmental damage and meet government regulations, so visiting the Lions’ Lair offers the perfect opportunity to ‘get up to speed’ with practical solutions.

There was no sign of Theo Paphitis or Peter Jones - instead, Graeme Coyne, Business Manager – IA&DT Service, Support & Training Development at Siemens, Paul Dennis, Technical Facilities Manager at Experian and Richard Wilkins, Centre of Excellence Business Process Owner – Maintenance from MARS were the Lions’ Lair judging panel and shed their critical eye over an array of the most pioneering products put forward by four exhibiting companies.

The competition was won by Siveco.
