22 • LOCKEX2018 REVIEW
PROUD SPONSORS
OF LOCKEX 2018
The Main Event – Lockex 2018
After months of planning – for both organisers
and exhibitors – Lockex just flew by, but as quickly
as it seemed to go for all involved, the three-day
event was also packed with world-class exhibitors,
exciting product launches, exclusive competitions,
workshops, presentations, demonstrations, and even
had its own soundtrack provided by Fix Radio.

Journal, you’ll find reviews to the
stands, what people saw, who saw it,
plus several articles that expand on the
event’s displays and demonstrations,
so if you didn’t make it to the show, you
don’t have to miss out. And, if there’s
an area of the show that hasn’t been
covered, or you think we’ve missed
something out, don’t worry because
there’s plenty more to come in the next
issue too – there was just so much going
on that we couldn’t fit it all in…
Even in the days leading up to event,
excitement was building in line with the
building of the stands; as more and more
impressive units were being installed
and products were being off-loaded from
trucks and into Coventry’s Ricoh Arena.
When the doors opened on the first day,
a queue of visitors had already formed
outside the main show and as they came
into the venue, and collected their goody
bags and event guides, Friday certainly
got off to a fantastic start. Fix Radio
broadcasting live from the event added
an extra element to this year’s exhibition
with DJs conducting live interviews
throughout the day in between pop and
rock songs that filled the Ricoh.
The expansion of Lockex’s remit this
year to include Security & Fire Safety
