Aquaculture UK visitor numbers up 9% on 2018

THE UK’s biggest aquaculture trade show returned to Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands this month, with numbers significantly up on the last event in the series.

Aquaculture UK, held at the Macdonald Highland Resort, Aviemore, saw more than 2,600 visitors, up 9% on the previous show in 2018.

Cheri Arvonio, Event Director of organiser Diversified Communications, said the company’s first Aquaculture UK had exceeded expectations:“The feedback we have had so far from exhibitors and visitors has been incredible.

“Aquaculture UK certainly lived up to its reputation as the UK’s number one exhibition for the aquaculture community and we are already looking forward to building on this year’s success as we plan for the next gathering in 2024.”

The event also featured the UK Aquaculture Awards, recognising achievement within the industry.
