UBM Live Shows to leave Birmingham NEC for ExCel London

UBM Live has announced that the UK-based Protection & Management Series, including IFSEC International, FIREX International, Safety & Health Expo and Facilities Show, will move from Birmingham’s NEC to Excel in June 2014.

UBM Live has announced that the UK-based Protection & Management Series, including IFSEC International, FIREX International, Safety & Health Expo and Facilities Show, will move from Birmingham’s NEC to Excel in June 2014.

The decision comes at the end of a 12-month period of research and consultation with stakeholders across all communities, which indicated support for a move to London in 2014.

Simon Parket, Managing Director of UBM Live London explained: “The move back to London after 16 successful years at the NEC is informed by extensive customer research and is a natural progression for the series as the markets we serve become increasingly international. We are very excited at the prospect of a move to Excel which will enable us to continue to grow these enormously successful events by taking advantage of both the benefits of a London location and the ability to attract new visitor sectors.”

The British Security Industry Association, Institution of Occupational Safety & Health, Fire Industry Association (FIA) and British Institute of Facilities Management (BIFM) all backed the move.

CEO of UBM Live, Simon Foster expressed UBM’s commitment to the decision. “We would like to thank the NEC for the part they have played in the sustained success of the Protection & Management Series,” he said. “UBM Live has a clear strategy to evolve and innovate and, having thoroughly researched the proposal with our stakeholders, moving to London means we can fully engage with our communities internationally while enhancing our offering to those in the UK.”

The Protection & Management Series will take place from 17 to 19 June 2014.
