UBM’s Protection and Management Week began on Monday 13th May 2013. It aimed to unite business professionals across security, fire, safety and facilities management.
The NEC Birmingham played host to four co-located shows:
Safety and Health Expo – 14th to 16th of May
Facilities Show – 14th to 16th of May
FIREX International – 13th to 16th May
IFSEC International – 13th to 16th May
Thousands of people graced the NEC to see what was going on across the four shows. Each show had a lot to offer including seminars, discussions and an array of stands allowing businesses to showcase their latest product or service offerings.
