XYZ Machine Tools was pleasantly surprised by the number of people attending the opening of its latest showroom. Located just off the M62 near Huddersfield, the 5000 sq ft showroom contains an extensive selection of XYZ machines, all under power and available for customer demonstrations and training. Thanks to its proximity to the motorway network, visitors travelled from across the north of England for the open day, with orders received for six machines and many requests for quotes.

Nigel Atherton, managing director at XYZ Machine Tools, says: “Due to its location we expected a good response from customers, but even we underestimated the turnout. In total we had 94 people from 55 companies attend the day, about 50% more than we anticipated. Our 40-space car park was overflowing at times. Overall it was very encouraging and indicates that there’s still lots of positive sentiment in the manufacturing sector.”
