Following consultation with the UK
motor industry, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
(SMMT) has taken the decision to cancel the 2010 British
International Motor Show.
The SMMT blames the economic downturn and the “unprecedented challenges” facing the industry both in the UK and
around the world.
“The British International Motor Show is the UK’s largest consumer exhibition, hugely popular with the public, and has been attracting increasing numbers of visitors over recent years, making the decision to cancel the 2010 Show an extremely difficult one,” said SMMT chief executive Paul Everitt.
Both SMMT and International Motor Industry Events, who organise the show, have said that they want to organise the show when market conditions permit.
