Emergency Services Times
For the latest news and information on all emergency services.
Hi reader,
What a busy week it has been, with the super exciting announcement that The Emergency Services Show and The Emergency Tech Show are going global next year as part of Safety & Security Asia . This means you’ll see the shows in Singapore as well as at the NEC in Birmingham. It’s perfect timing as we just opened registration for this year’s shows which are on 18 and 19 September.
We have been at the NEC this week, where Lanna reports from The Security Event (TSE) about the latest on Martyn’s law and Priya finds out how a hyper local transport scheme is improving women’s safety. I hosted the Fire Safety Event (FSE) Leaders Summit and it reminded me just how important content is at our shows, as we share knowledge, gain insights and meet people face to face.
