Record attendance at regional health and safety event
April 1st 2008 Arecord number of visitors attended Health and
Safety 08 held recently at Sandown Park in Esher,
Surrey. The event, the first of two in a regional
series sponsored by DuPont, experienced a rise in
visitor numbers of over 20% clearly demonstrating the
effectiveness of its combination of a high quality
educational programme with an exhibition in an easy to
access regional location
One of the most popular attractions proved to be the free
seminar programme delivered by industry experts and IOSH
members representing the London Metropolitan branch.
These sessions attracted an average audience of 200
delegates. Paul Underhill, SHE & Security Manager for DHL
Global Mail, a visitor to the event said: "The Health and
Safety 08 show at Sandown Park was a great success as far
as I'm concerned and was well worth taking the time out
to attend."
Free downloads of all the seminar notes from Sandown
are available at www.healthandsafetyevents.co.uk and
registration for the Northern Health and Safety 08 event at
The Reebok Stadium in Bolton is now open via the same
website.
The exhibition was very busy on both days with Mike
Denton, Technical Support Manager for Aearo commenting:
"For Aearo the show was very successful. I can understand
that for some the number of visitors is important, and this
is indeed readily measurable, but another factor is the
"quality" of those visitors. The Health and Safety 08
attendees were of a very high quality and we have made a
number of important contacts."
Also at the show, Principal People were inviting visitors
to bring a blaze under control using hand held
extinguishers in the Sandown Park Paddock (see left).
The next in this series of regional Health and Safety
events will take place at The Reebok Stadium in Bolton,
North West England on the 8th and 9th October 2008. Tim
Else, event director, says of the 2008 events: "I have
been pleased with the positive feedback we have received
from visitors, exhibitors and industry bodies about the
event at Sandown. With 50% more exhibitors at Bolton
this year, the event is already shaping up to be incredibly
valuable for visitors and, judging by the popularity of the
seminars at Sandown, I would highly recommend preregistration
for the
exhibition and seminars to
guarantee a place." More articles from Western Business Exhibitions: |
