“South Africa is a market with a future which offers great potential for the construction machinery industry, and of great interest to the UK exhibitors. The African economy has tripled since 2000 and presents a significant opportunity across multiple sectors—with US$2.6 trillion of revenue expected by 2020 across resources, agriculture, consumer and infrastructure.”
Joanna added,
“The CEA is delighted to be presenting the 2015 UK Pavilion with over 15 UK companies presenting their products.
