We understand that exhibitors depend on us to create a safe trading environment. Running a public event adds to our responsibility, extending care to staff, exhibitors, contractors, venue staff, visitors, and the public. We aim not only to meet legal requirements but also to continuously enhance our health and safety framework to support our clients' business goals.
