The three-day event boasted over 300 exhibitors from 20 countries and more than half (54%) of the visitors held an annual purchasing budget of over £100k.
The event featured a fantastic line-up of world class speakers, including comedian and mental health expert Ruby Wax OBE, English rugby legend Sir Clive Woodward OBE and Nicky Moffat CBE, formerly the British Army’s highest-ranking female officer.
One of the most successful seminars was the SHP debate, “Do we really need to be talking about mental health so much?” Which was introduced by the Managing Director of The Healthy Work Company, Heather Beach.
The second day called for celebration as Public Speaker, Campaigner and Founder of Michael’s Story, Loiuse Taggart was announced as SHP’s Most Influential Person in Health & Safety and Jyssica Murphy, Health & Safety Advisor at Torus, was named as SHP’s Rising Star UK.
Throughout all the three days, The Professional Clothing Fashion Show was a magnet for all visitors. The catwalk welcomed powerful dance routines which elevated the most innovative, stylish and striking workwear and PPE solutions. Crowds watched with excitement as solutions from 3M, Port West and Tranemo came to life on stage under bright lights.
And the event’s online meetings service organised over 800 meetings between exhibitors and visitors before the event began, proving the exhibition’s success as a platform for networking.
“Safety & Health Expo 2018 has been a huge success,” said Brand Director of Safety & Health Expo, Chris Edwards.
“After speaking with visitors and exhibitors, it’s a comfort to know this sentiment is shared. This year’s show reflected the profession’s crucial shift towards health and wellbeing and it has been a privilege to bring together stakeholders such as NEBOSH, HSE, IOSH and RoSPA, who are driving these changes too.”
Jeremy Rees, Acting Chief Executive, ExCeL London added: “We were delighted to welcome Safety and Health Expo to ExCeL London. Our teams are working closely with UBM to support their ambitions for growth and we are delighted that they had another successful event with us.
“This event, together with the wider Protection & Management Series, is playing a vital role in maintaining and creating safe and secure environments, something that resonates strongly with us. We look forward to welcoming visitors and exhibitors again next year, when they will be able to travel to ExCeL more quickly than ever before via the Elizabeth line.”
