Evacuation specialist heads east

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

After a successful year of events and shows, Birmingham based company Evac+Chair International will be attending The Hotel Show in Dubai from the 28th to the 30th September, which it says is the ultimate showcase of the world’s leading hospitality solutions.

Held in the famous World Trade Centre, the show covers eight halls, and attracts a trade audience of 17,700 hotel and hospitality professionals from 98 countries.

Evac+Chair has already won awards this year for ‘Most Interactive Stand’ at the Health & Safety Event held at the NEC in March. The company also won the title of ‘Best New Exhibitor’ stand at ‘Safety in Action’ held in Sydney, Australia.

The Evac+Chair is a world-leading evacuation chair in aiding mobility impaired individuals downstairs in emergency situations, safely and easily. In emergencies such as fires or earthquake, lifts cannot be used in large multi-storey buildings, meaning people who are less able or with a disability may become trapped upstairs. The Evac+Chair provides an easy, light weight solution to help get these people out in an emergency evacuation and save lives.
