GUILD JOINS LOCKEX LINE-UP

Lockex 2018 is delighted that the Guild of Architectural Ironmongers (GAI) is the latest to support its second show.

Back by popular demand, Lockex returns to the winning venue of Coventry’s Ricoh Arena from 8-10 June. There will be more to see than ever as the show has expanded to include security and fire safety. All the attractions will also be even handier, as the exhibition, café and workshops will now be in the main hall – along with a special surprise.

None of this changes the all-inclusive approach locksmiths loved about Lockex 2016 – with plus points like a free lunch, free parking, and convenient on-site hotel.

Event director Steve Sidebottom said: “We’re pleased that such a prestigious organisation as the GAI is supporting Lockex 2018. The Guild will be exhibiting in our new 72-square metre Pavilion showcasing their education qualifications.”

The Guild’s Douglas Masterson will be conducting a free training seminar with CPD points available. In addition, Lockex will host a student night for the Institute of Architectural Ironmongers Midlands branch.

The first Lockex show was from 16-18 September, 2016, also at Coventry’s Ricoh arena. More than 1,723 people attended over the three days, visiting over 80 exhibitors and taking part in 68 workshops from leading suppliers.

Lockex 2018 is again brought to you by The Locksmith Journal, the UK’s leading industry magazine. The magazine is distributed to the most accurate and comprehensive locksmith database in the UK of over 8,500 locksmiths, and is a gateway to the lock, safe, security and hardware industry.

Rob Exley, director of Locksmith Journal, said: “With so much emphasis these days on security and also on fire safety, we have now incorporated these important aspects into Lockex 2018. But while we have widened the scope, the main core of the show is still what we are all about – the locksmith and auto locksmith industry.”
