The Water Jetting Association’s first major exhibition
WJA Trade Show 2024 – held on Thursday 12th
September 2024, at StoneX Stadium, London – was the Water Jetting Association’s first major exhibition.
It was so well received by exhibitors and visitors alike that I am delighted to say the WJA Board has agree to host a second exhibition.
WJA Trade Show 2025 returns to the StoneX Stadium on Thursday 11th September 2025.

this was an ideal opportunity to meet
users and other equipment suppliers
It’s been fantastic. A nice steady foot flow all day. We’ve always got someone at our stand which is good to see. We work within the water jetting trade which is why we’re members of the WJA. We insure against risks the trade. To understand the risks, amazing, the codes of practice, amazing. So for is it’s all about keeping up to date with changes in the trade. So being part of the WJA, trying to get right involved, getting all the updates. We’ve set up a couple of training courses with Lee O’Callaghan recently. So when risk changes our policy can change and we can make sure we cover people. Ultimately, for us, it’s all about giving back. So whenever we can get trade associations involved and we can help where we can, we jump at that opportunity.
We are part of the Water Jetting Association. Today, the exhibition has been really good. We get to meet a lot of our existing manufacturers of water jetting equipment and we also get to see a lot more of the industry and you get the end-users walking around. We manufacture a piece of the puzzle, so we get to meet the end-user of the product we make. It’s been good. We’ve got quite a few good leads, it’s been interesting. We get to see all the other WJA members and we get our input into all the things going forward in 2026, so it’s been good.
We manufacture high pressure and ultra-high pressure water jetting machines, for drainage, surface preparation, cleaning. Basically, anything to do with water jetting. The show’s been amazing. Visitors have been interested in everything we offer, the jetting units we supply, our shop, the Rigid units we supply. There’ve been a lot of people who haven’t been before and they haven’t seen our products, and they’re very happy with what we do and we’ve had a lot of interest and enquiries from it. It’s been a very good experience.
It’s been really busy. We’ve had a lot of interest. People coming to look at the kit. Some customers we know, a lot of new faces. It’s been good so far, and we still have plenty of the day to go. This is my first WJA event. The stands are very impressive. The people showing are bringing a lot of equipment. I think it’s a really good show and the clientele who are here are very important people in the industry who have come to see the latest innovations and this is a great place to see them.
It’s been a smart decision to be here. The mood is positive. Everyone who has come to our stand has had a need for something we have. I will say, almost with certainty, we will be at the next WJA trade show. I have a suspicion that next week’s order book will justify it. We’ve closed deals.
We wanted to raise the profile of Aquajet products in the UK and this was an ideal opportunity to meet users and other equipment suppliers. We have the ability, instead of showing brochures, of showing the equipment. It made a lot of sense to exhibit here and sponsor the event.
