Brisbane based event and exhibition supplier; Moreton Hire, will this week deliver the Queensland Mining & Engineering Exhibition (QME) in Mackay, the largest expo for the booming mining industry in the sunshine state.

Since its inception in 1993, QME has grown to 650 exhibitors and an expected 15 000 visitors in 2012.
