IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Do not go
to Lockex*
The organisers of Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety would like to
remind all locksmiths, auto locksmiths, security specialists, fire safety
officers, architects, designers, planners, and specifiers that this June’s
event at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry is not your ordinary trade show.
» » THEREFORE, IF YOU WERE
expecting a weekend of irrelevant
exhibitors and stands that exist only
to promote themselves with nothing in
return for the visitor, three precious days
off wasted and leaving with an empty
wallet, wishing you’d stayed at home with
the family – or worst – worked instead,
then please do not come to Lockex 2018,
this is not the show for you.
*OKAY, NOW HERE’S WHY
YOU SHOULD GO…
If, however, you prefer an industry event
that listens to its visitors and exhibitors,
monitors current events and responds to
them accordingly, features the biggest
and best names from the locksmith,
auto locksmith, security, and fire safety
sectors, offers all-inclusive packages
to its stand holders and lets the visitors
leave with more than they came with; free
parking, free meal tickets, free goody
bags, exclusive raffles and competitions
– tool kits, champagne, cash prize draws,
super car driving experiences to name
a few – plus free training workshops
and seminars, working demonstrations,
product launches, key note speeches
and a ‘Pavilion of Trade Bodies’
dedicated solely to the advancement and
development of the visitor’s own career,
and it’s been meticulously planned to
avoid any major sporting event taking
place this year, then sure, maybe, this
could right for you.
BUT, SERIOUSLY…
Lockex 2018 - Security & Fire Safety
promises be a one-stop-shop for
everyone in the industry from locksmiths
and auto locksmiths, security and fire
safety officers, to architects, designers,
planners, and specifiers. Exhibitors
from all over the UK – and indeed
the world – from Aldridge to Yale and
everything in between will be hosting
live demonstrations, displaying new
products, and offering genuine free
prizes and competitions.
The Lockex team has taken all the
key parts from the first event – well
organised, visitor-orientated, industry
relevant and an exhibition that was
actually enjoyable – plus added some
extra aspects to make sure newcomers
and past guests alike will be satisfied.
While the show may have expanded its
reach – to reflect the ever-increasing
concerns and considerations of security
and fire safety – there will be no

compromise on the quality of displays,
demonstrations or exhibitors at the
event.
From the breaksfast butties on arrival
and free parking, to the jam-packed
schedule of training seminars and live
evening entertainment, Lockex isn’t a
show that’s going to waste your time
and sting you with hefty parking charges
and overpriced food and drink. In fact,
it’s the show visitors can’t afford to
miss.
The reimagined workshop space right
in the heart of the Ricoh Arena, with eight
demo zones and staging for the official
key note speaker Neil Vann, means
visitors won’t have to miss a moment
of the show by walking out of the
exhibition to attend their free seminars
(plus exhibitors will get more traffic to
their stands). The new 72-square metre
‘Pavilion of Trade Bodies’ will be hosting
organisations such as the GAI, DHF, NSI,
FDIS, SSAIB and UK Construction Week
with representatives from all regions
on hand to discuss CPD points and the
latest certifications, compliance, and
career options.
And finally, Lockex 2018 – Security
& Fire Safety has teamed up with Fix
Radio – the UK’s first radio station for
tradespeople – to make sure the Ricoh
Arena will sound just as good as it
looks!
Lockex 2018 – Security & Fire Safety
takes place 8th, 9th and 10th June
2018 at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. For
