The Facilities Show

22-24 May National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, UK

The Facilities Show will take place at the NEC in Birmingham, alongside IFSEC, Safety & Health Expo, Security Solutions and International Fire Expo. The Facilities Show will run from 22-24 May, while the other four events will run simultaneously from 21-24 May.

The new move for The Facilities Show and the new timing of FM Expo now offers the FM industry the option to source and market workplace solutions in the spring, autumn or both. Each event has the long-standing support of the British Institute of Facilities Management.

The Facilities Show was launched in Harrogate last November and attracted over 1,700 visitors and 90 exhibitors with its convenient, all-encompassing approach to providing workplace solutions for the North. Visitors to the 2001 event in Birmingham can expect to benefit from the improved facilities that a move to the NEC brings, as well as free and easy access to other workplace-related events.
