James Kelly, Chief Executive Officer, BSIA said: “The BSIA is delighted to have renewed our partnership with UBM around Ifsec as the industry’s leading event for cementing and nurturing relationships across the buying chain. Providing a forum for the interaction of users, manufacturers and installers in a world where technology is constantly changing and enabling new applications is central to creating a cohesive and energised national industry.

“In an increasingly competitive global marketplace, UK PLC’s leadership is renowned, and serves as a useful driver for exports. Ifsec’s new London base will serve to serve to further enhance its attractiveness to overseas buyers as well as putting it on the doorstep of Government. We look forward to working with UBM to leverage the further opportunities that this will present,” Kelly confirmed.
