THE CV Show has been heralded a great success, with well over 22,000 visitors through the doors on its three days. Show chairman Nikki King said she was expecting figures to be lower than last year because of bad weather and the foot-and-mouth epidemic.

Some 504 exhibitors were spread between five halls at the NEC, Birmingham. King said: 'We have capitalised on the progress made last year and raised the profile of the industry. We can safely say that the CV Show is now firmly established in the European CV show timetable as a major event.'
