Export meetings for IFSEC

by Mark Rowe

UBM EMEA, organisers of IFSEC International, FIREX International and Safety & Health Expo announced a partnership with UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) to host meetings and seminars for all three events at ExCeL London from June 16 to 18, 2015, as part of UBM’s Protection & Management Series.

The UKTI Events Alliance initiative will engage with three Trade Challenge Partners (TCPs): the British Security Industry Association (BSIA), the Fire Industry Association (FIA) and the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF). The event will see inward missions of Commercial Officers and relevant buyers from target countries – identified by the TCPs and also insight from the shows’ exhibitors – meet with UK based exhibitors at the events. Sector Marketing has been appointed to manage the programme, alongside the wider Protection & Management Global Meetings Programme, arranging bespoke 121 meetings for the international buyers and COs with UK exhibitors.

All meetings will take place within the BSIA/UKTI Lounge in IFSEC International and this area will also host sessions offering advice and guidance around exporting best practice and identifying opportunities for UK based businesses to expand their business overseas.

Simon Mills, Group Director for the Protection & Management Series said: “We are really pleased to be working with the UKTI/DSO and the BSIA, FIA and BSIF to offer real value to anyone wishing to expand their business internationally. We recognise that as a series of international events that annually brings these industries together, we are in a unique position to create great opportunities and make new introductions across borders for our exhibitors.”

UKTI and DSO have previously worked with IFSEC, but this year the partnership is being expanded to include FIREX and Safety & Health Expo – both sectors identified by UKTI as having potential for UK export.
