Following a successful start of 2017, SSAIB are bringing a close to their programme of regional meetings and exhibitions for the first half of the year by attending IFSEC International at the ExCel in London later this month.
The three-day event – held between June 20-22 – is a fitting finale for a successful six-month tour of the UK and Ireland, which has taken in the likes of Glasgow, Belfast, Dublin, London and Birmingham among others. The SSAIB’s presence at IFSEC International will give registered firms - and any other interested parties - a chance to pick the brains of the SSAIB team, headed by chief executive Alex Carmichael and chairman Geoff Tate.
Attendees are encouraged to visit the SSAIB stand at G450 to discuss the latest developments and standards within the security and fire industries, the benefits of having SSAIB certification, how firms can achieve accreditation with us and why we recommend that security and fire safety service buyers should actively seek out SSAIB-registered firms to complete their work.
SSAIB training manager Trevor Jenks will also be actively involved in running the Engineers of Tomorrow competition, of which the SSAIB is a proud stakeholder of – having supported the venture since its inception nearly 20 years ago. A team of SSAIB auditors will also be judging the three-day contest, in which some of the best apprentices in the country will battle it out for first place.
In an exclusive to our SSAIB-registered firms, a link will also be sent out via email that will allow all those who register for IFSEC International through it to receive a free lunch voucher – available to use while they are at the event.
Sales and marketing manager Andrew Brown revealed that SSAIB are glad to be returning to IFSEC International once again and he hopes that it helps the company to meet even more firms, old and new.
Andrew said: “It’s good that we are able to return to IFSEC once again this year – as it’s important that the SSAIB is able to go out and allow people to come and speak to us. We’ve enjoyed a fantastic start to the year travelling all over the UK and Ireland and the response our own events have had is fantastic.
“It seems appropriate that we end the first half of 2017 with a trip to IFSEC, because the whole SSAIB team have been working hard in the run-up to this year’s event. We want to get the message out that we’re the leading certification body for both the fire and security industries, so shows like this are vital for us to be able to do that.
“The SSAIB believe we have one of the most streamline application processes in the industry, so new applicants aren’t tied down with endless paperwork and some of the unnecessary red tape that they might experience elsewhere. We also ensure that we maintain professional standards with a friendly and helpful approach to our registered firms, which sets us apart from all of our competitors, and I think that’s appreciated by SSAIB firms.
“The whole of the SSAIB team are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible during this year’s IFSEC International exhibition, so make sure you stop off at stand G450.”
