The Water Jetting Association is to hold its next trade show at one of the UK\u2019s premier sporting venues \u2013 giving companies involved in the water jetting industry the opportunity to meet and do business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Trade Show 2027 will take place at Newbury Racecourse on Friday 25th June 2027. It is a new venue that will allow a major expansion of external displays of Britain\u2019s biggest and most powerful water jetting machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Chairman Lee O\u2019Callaghan said: \u201cWe\u2019re excited to give our members and other businesses a unique commercial opportunity to meet potential new customers and show them the important services they deliver and equipment they supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the only event in the UK dedicated to promoting the water jetting industry and is the place where contractors, service buyers, training providers and industrial bodies can do deals and shape the future of our industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The association is hosting WJA Trade Show 2027 at Newbury Racecourse because it provides excellent outside space for exhibitors to display larger items of equipment and water jetting vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee O\u2019Callaghan explained: \u201cWe\u2019re expanding the external display area in response to requests from equipment suppliers, who want to show off their latest equipment, and contractors, who value being able to look at different kit in one place before they make a decision to buy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move to Newbury Racecourse comes after WJA hosted two successful trade shows at StoneX Stadium in North West London, in 2024 and 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Trade Show 2027 remains free to attend and there is free parking for visitors and exhibitors. As one of the UK\u2019s premier horseracing venues, visitors and exhibitors will also benefit from Newbury Racecourse\u2019s high quality facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The internal trade show space is located directly beneath the main stand, with 23 exhibition stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The external display area is in front of the main stand, right next to the track finish line, with spaces for 15 exhibitors, over 50% more than at the last trade show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Trade Show 2027 is expected to attract exhibitors promoting all types of water jetting, including drain jetting, high-pressure and ultra-high pressure water jetting and pressure washing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water jetting applications across every industrial sector will be on show, including drainage, water utilities, oil and gas, petrochemicals, industrial cleaning, construction and maritime maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The previous two WJA Trade Shows also attracted visitors with many different roles across a wide range of industries, including business owners and directors, contract managers, equipment buyers, safety specialists, and service specifiers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitors and visitors who attended WJA Trade Show 2025 were impressed by the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

James Coverdale, Head of Sales at CCTV equipment manufacturer iTouch Systems, said: \u201cWe were busy all day, with a lot of interested visitors stopping at our stand. We got some strong leads. It\u2019s been a very good day for us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitor Bucher Municipal is a manufacturer of municipal vehicles, including drainage jet vac tankers. Its UK Sales Manager, Mark Robson, said: \u201cWe\u2019ve met new customers. It\u2019s been an ideal opportunity to show drainage contractors they can take the next step from a van pack to our CityFlex combination unit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show visitor Michael Ward, Director of water jetting specialist MW Services, said: \u201cI want some new nozzles and there are some good suppliers here. It\u2019s good to see faces and look at the products in person.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Thorne, Franchise Business Manager at drainage company Dalrod UK, said: \u201cI\u2019ve had good conversations with equipment suppliers. There was new technology I was also glad to see. It made for a productive day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Trade Show 2027 will also allow the WJA to promote important developments, including the launch of the new WJA Code of Practice, which has replaced the association\u2019s previous three codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WJA will also be showcasing its City & Guilds-accredited training programme, which now has new non-water jetting courses, including Drain CCTV, Gutter Cleaning, and Remote Structural Repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WJA Technical Manager Gordon Taylor said: \u201cOur trade shows are invaluable opportunities for us to engage with exhibitors and visitors to promote safety and further our aim of supporting our members and the highest standards across our industry.\u201d View the WJA Trade Show 2027 brochure: waterjetting.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/WJA-Trade-Show-2027-Brochure-1.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
