Our Exhibition Experiences

EDS staff on stand at the Engineering Design Show.

With exhibition season coming to an end in 2025, its time to look back at our recent ventures to the Engineering Design Show (EDS) and Manufacturing and Engineering North East (MENE).

EDS

Our first adventure in the tail end of 2025 was to Coventry where we unveiled our new exhibition stand at EDS. As one of our major shows in the exhibition calendar, we love attending EDS as it gives us the opportunity to talk not only to current industry specialists, but the future of the industry as students of all ages are in attendance.

EDS further provides us a great launch point for our brand refresh as the new look stand elevates HITEK to another level, giving us the opportunity to showcase what we can offer through our new Television media and streamlined product experience across our new shelving. The new atmosphere and feel allowed for a more positive interaction with the varying visitors to the stand

With EDS in the books for 2025, only one more exhibition remained, MENE.

MENE

With MENE only just entering the books at the time of writing, a lot of impactful things took place at this show. With the Manufacturing and Engineering show being our largest event taking place in the north, We thrive on interacting with people from our neck of the woods.

While EDS was the main place of revealing our new branded stand, our smaller pop up was unveiled at this show. With the focus on showcasing our solutions and the core ranges from our suppliers. this stand takes the best elements from our t3 stand.

We enjoy attending this show as it brings us closer to our local customers as well as potentially exposing new opportunities to the north of England.

Our people are at the heart of everything we do at HITEK. In this edition of our Powered by People series, we’re shining the spotlight on Hannah Dalton, our talented Cost Estimator, whose mix of expertise, humour and team spirit make a real difference every day.

Learning, Sharing, Supporting

As a Cost Estimator, Hannah plays a vital role in ensuring customers receive accurate, timely and informed costings for their projects. It’s a position that requires both precision and product knowledge, something she genuinely enjoys.

“I enjoy learning about all the products we sell and being able to share this knowledge with our customers.”

But the role goes far beyond raising quotes. Any time a new part is added to our system, the Costings team takes the lead in creating it — a process that involves far more behind-the-scenes detail than many might realise.

Teamwork and Office Icons

Ask Hannah what she loves most about working at HITEK, and the answer comes easily: the people.

“My co-workers — absolute icons.”

It’s no surprise, then, that many of her most memorable moments here involve shared laughter. In fact, she keeps a sticky note filled with the funniest office quotes, a light-hearted pick-me-up that gets read at least once a week and gets new additions daily!

Three Words and a Tuesday Tradition

When asked to describe herself in three words, Hannah goes for:

Trustworthy. Yapper. Slay.

While she considers herself an open book, one thing you can count on is her spontaneity. Free time activities change depending on the day, except for Tuesday nights, which are firmly reserved for the weekly pub quiz.

“I’m up for pretty much anything, but I’m committed to pub quiz on Tuesdays.”

The Final Word

With her quick wit, team spirit, and can-do attitude, Hannah brings an energy that’s impossible to miss. Whether it’s tackling a tricky costing or acing the pub quiz, she’s proof that work is better when you’ve got great people by your side.
