Vaculug Ltd, Europe’s largest independent retreaders, are set to enhance their presence and drive lead generation at Hillhead 2024 thanks to the expertise of Lee Thompson, the world’s number-one theatrical pickpocket. This year’s event will see Lee’s unique talent used to captivate and engage attendees, turning footfall into valuable business leads.

Vaculug Ltd will be showcasing their extensive range of truck and OTR (Off The Road) tyres, including their proprietary retread bands Mortrak and Kuantam, alongside new offerings from Magna, Yokohama, and Galaxy. The collaboration with Lee Thompson aims to underline Vaculug’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in tyre management.

Lee Thompson will use his renowned pickpocketing skills to attract and engage visitors at Vaculug’s stand. His engaging performances are designed not just to entertain, but also to qualify potential leads through carefully crafted interactions. Visitors will be drawn in by Thompson’s sleight of hand and stay for the informative insights into Vaculug’s product offerings and sustainable practices.

Vaculug are not only known for their superior retreading capabilities, but also for their dedication to sustainability. Retreading by its very nature is an environmentally friendly process, and Vaculug’s comprehensive tyre-management services further reduce customer downtime and operational headaches, all while maintaining top-tier performance. The company says Hillhead 2024 offers the perfect platform to highlight these advantages to sectors including quarry, construction, earthmoving, waste, port, and industrial.

The primary objective at Hillhead 2024 is to engage a wide range of industry professionals, from waste-management companies to industrial hire firms. With no specific job title in mind, Vaculug and Lee Thompson’s strategy is inclusive, ensuring that any visitor with influence over tyre purchasing decisions will leave the stand with a memorable experience and a clear understanding of Vaculug’s offerings.

Lee’s role goes beyond traditional entertainment. His performances will incorporate key messages about Vaculug’s products and services, seamlessly blending engagement with education. By using his stop, engage, and qualify method, he will ensure that every interaction is meaningful and that potential leads are accurately captured and passed on to Vaculug’s sales team.

‘Engaging Lee Thompson for Hillhead 2024 represents a unique approach to lead generation,’ said a spokesperson for Vaculug Ltd. ‘His ability to entertain and inform simultaneously makes him the perfect partner to highlight our commitment to sustainability and high performance. We are excited to see the impact he will have at our stand.’
