Four shows, three days, one location

This decision by Fairweather Events, organiser of Cleaning Expo, is a major endorsement for the other shows and recognises the growing powerbase of facilities, property and estate managers, production and plant managers, maintenance, health and safety professionals from outside London which they attract.

Martin Scott, managing director of Fairweather Events, elaborates:  "We’ve been really impressed by the level of excitement and interest which the NEC shows have generated. There’s a great buzz building around the way these events are co-located so effectively, right in the heart of the UK.  So when the opportunity to run Cleaning Expo alongside the shows in 2015 came up, we were very keen to get involved.”

According to Tim Else, events director at Western Business Exhibitions, organiser of The Health & Safety event, it’s this overlap of interests which makes the combination of shows so powerful: "Four complementary shows under one roof at the NEC will create the central UK hub that health & safety professionals really want - in the heart of the country.  The addition of cleaning and hygiene to the existing triumvirate of safety, facilities and maintenance suppliers will serve to provide an unsurpassed visiting experience.”

Matt Benyon, MD of easyFairs UK & Global, which organises both Maintec and Facilities Management, agrees: "With the current co-locations we are already offering visitors to the NEC over 300 exhibitors, thousands of products and over 50 seminars. The addition of Cleaning Expo in 2015 takes the visitor content to a whole new level. Four shows, over three days, in one location – that’s a powerful draw for time pressed decision makers.”

The first Cleaning Expo will take place at the NEC from 24-26 March 2015 and run alongside Facilities Management 2015, Maintec and The Health & Safety Event.
