The Innovation Trail for the 2026 Executive Hire Show is now open for submissions.
Exhibitors at EHS 2026 are invited to put forward their most forward-looking products, whether they are brand new or introduced within the past 12 months. All qualifying entries will be reviewed by Executive Hire News Editor, Andy McVittie, and featured in the January edition of Executive Hire News. A panel of professional hirers from Hire United will then select ten standout products to form the Innovation Trail LIVE at the Show, with each chosen manufacturer interviewed on their stand during the event.
Exhibitors should submit the following to a.mcvittie@hgluk.com:
• A print-ready product photograph (1–2MB+)
• A short description outlining the product’s key features and benefits
Deadline for entries: 12 December
There is no cost to enter. Participation in the Innovation Trail is included as part of the exhibitor package.
The Innovation Trail was a key feature of the 2025 Executive Hire Show, highlighting practical developments in eco-friendly technologies and new product design across the plant, tool, and equipment hire sectors.
