SED 2010[]
The 2010 show was cancelled, as The 2009 Hillhead show had been postponed till 2010, as exhibitors cut back on marketing budgets and many said they could not exhibit at two shows, so the organiser took the decision to not run in 2010 as it would have forced some exhibitors to chose between the two events.
SED 2011[]
The show was scheduled to be back in mid May in 2011 at The Rockingham Speedway Site nr Corby, but was cancelled due to exhibitors cutting marketing budgets and the general downturn in the economy.
Later in the year the organisers pulled out of the construction sector & closed the associated journal down.[citation (source) needed]
