ON THE MOVE
It’s safe to say that one of the major attractions of Lockex 2016 was the free training
seminars. This year, the workshop area – complete with eight demo zones – has been
relocated right into the heart of the Ricoh Arena, meaning that guests won’t have to miss
a second of the show by leaving the building to ‘get to class’ and exhibitors will benefit
from increased footfall to their stands situated around the central learning space. With
workshops for locksmiths, autolocksmiths, security and fire safety across all three days of
Lockex, there’s something for everyone and it’s all FREE!

‘ALL INCLUSIVE’
If there’s one thing that springs to mind when it comes to trade shows it’s the (often
over-inflated) costs that go along with them. Tickets, parking, food and drink all add up,
but not at Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety. Once you have your ticket you will
be provided with free parking, meal vouchers and even a breakfast butty on arrival. All
workshops, seminars and classes are totally free and there will be no hidden surcharges to
listen to the keynote speech. This isn’t just good news for the guests either, an ‘all inclusive’
package means that exhibitors will get more visitors to their stands for them to showcase
their products and services to.
GREAT SPORTS
Sports fans take note: Lockex 2018 –
Security & Fire Safety will be held at on
the earlier dates of the 8th, 9th and 10th
June, around two months shy of the two-
year mark since Lockex 2016. With 2018
boasting a super summer schedule of
sporting events including the World Cup
in Russia and Commonwealth Games
in Australia, Lockex is perfectly situated
on a weekend that avoids any major
international football, cricket, athletics,
golf, tennis, cycling or motor racing. This
is also great news for anyone about to
sit exams as they’ll be able to leave the
study books at home for the weekend
and benefit from practical hints and tips
from the best people in the industry
before they take their assessments.

KEY NOTE
6
ASSA ABLOY UK’s Neil Vann will be
conducting an exclusive key note speech
at this year’s Lockex; a not-to-be-missed
opportunity for visitors from every
field. Holding the position of CEO and
Market Region Manager of the world’s
leading supplier of intelligent lock and
security systems, it’s safe to say that Neil
really knows his stuff when it comes
to the industry and anyone that has
seen his talks before will know he is a
fantastic speech-giver. Neil’s presence at
Lockex 2016 was a real highlight for all
involved so it’s great to hear he will be
at this year’s exhibition.

Last but not least, one of the main
points of feedback from Lockex
2016, is that while the show was
excellently organised and offered a fresh
perspective on the trade show format,
lots of visitors didn’t realise who was
behind it! In fact, Lockex is brought to
you by the same team behind the UK’s
industry-leading locksmith magazine and
online news publication; The Locksmith
Journal. As the only independent
trade magazine dedicated to the
locksmith industry and with 10 years
experience, The Locksmith Journal is the
gateway between some of the biggest
names in the business right down to
independent one-person locksmith and
autolocksmith companies.
