VAUXHALL has confirmed it will be taking two stands at next year's Fleet Motor Show to display its cars and commercial vehicles separately. After its absence last year, the car-maker is back with a vengeance to display the all-new Astra, along with the rest of its car and van range. Mercedes-Benz, Fiat and Alfa Romeo have also this week joined the 14 manufacturers who have to date confirmed their attendance at Donington next May, with Alfa bringing along the spectacular 156 to wow the user-chooser market.

Unipart has also committed itself to the show, from May 11-14, with a huge presence and both the RAC and the AA are among some of the more than 50 big names which have already confirmed their attendance. The new venue will allow exhibitors more space in which to entertain clients and new prospects alike in well-appointed business lounges and special meeting rooms away from the hustle and bustle of the main Show space.

Organiser Emap Automotive Events has also devised a hi-tech appointments scheduling system to allow exhibitors to make the best use of their time at Donington. For more Fleet Motor Show details contact Sue Scotney on 01733 467033.
