Editor’s pick: Events not to miss at Safety & Health Expo this May!

The Safety & Health Expo this year is packed full of events and showcasing, from the Networking Café, Prof Sir Jonathan Van-Tam and Sir Lenny Henry’s Inspirational Speaker sessions to leading health and safety suppliers all in one place. Not to mention the co-related shows IFSEC, FIREX and The Facilities Show taking place at London ExCel too.
