Rail Industry Technology Roadshow

During June, CB Frost had the opportunity to showcase our range of rail industries on a nationwide tour with the Rail Industry Technology Roadshow. Daniel Brock, Business Development Manager, was our representative throughout the travelling exhibition, presenting our Armaflex® range of materials, including Rail SD, SD-C, ZH and ZH-C insulation foams.

After visiting Alstom in Widnes, Hitachi in Newton Aycliffe, and Bombardier in Derby, in week 2 of the show, we made stops at Siemens in Northampton and Network Rail in Milton Keynes before finishing the event at CAF, Newport. Although rain attempted to put the dampers on many of the days, we were able to make the most of the event. Our travelling exhibition space was covered, so the bad weather didn’t impact proceedings too much. Even the former Transport Secretary Peter McCloughlin came on the bus!

Following the last day of the event, CAF provided a tour of their facilities after the show was finished, showcasing their onsite capabilities.

From taking part we obtained over 500 contact details and gained over 152 enquiries. Representatives from the Rail Industry Technology Roadshow contacted us to let us know that we came in ‘top of the league’ in terms of the numbers generated against all other exhibitors – an achievement that we are very proud of.

Daniel Brock said: “The response we got from exhibiting at the Rail Industry Technology Show was outstanding. Excellent clientele and really engaging discussions. We are now currently enjoying the mammoth task of following up on all enquiries. Thank you to all that came to talk to us about our Armaflex® and CB Frost range of specialist rail industry materials.”
