The Norbain LIVE roadshow has seen record attendance this year, report the organisers, electronic security product distributors Norbain SD.
Held across the UK at eight venues, Norbain LIVE affords security folk an opportunity to explore the latest developments in electronic security. This year, almost 1000 visitors attended the event, making it the most popular Norbain LIVE to date, organisers report.
What they say
"We take a great amount of care organising the shows and selecting locations to ensure that everyone gets the most out of the event," says Huw Edwards, Norbain marketing communications manager. "It‚s a real networking opportunity that benefits everyone that attends and the feedback we have received has confirmed that it was a great success."
What the exhibitors said
Simon Gerome, UK sales director, Europlex Technologies: "This is the first year we‚ve had the chance to attend LIVE and opportunities have already been presented on the back of it. It really was worth attending all the shows and there’s no doubt we‚ll be signing up again next year."
Trish Bambury, marketing manager, Paxton Access: "Norbain LIVE just gets better every year. We saw a really mixed range of visitors and have established some excellent contacts. We also find the event a good way of re-enforcing product development after IFSEC."
Martin Cottle, UK sales manager for branded products, Baxall: "We had a great number of opportunities to do demos for visitors and had the time to get them well acquainted with the products. We also got the opportunity to talk to visitors about some very interesting projects, so I‚d definitely class the event as a success for us."
What the visitors said
Shane Nelson, director, BDI Security Ltd: "LIVE gave us the opportunity to meet suppliers that we don‚t usually deal with. The size of the event allowed us to really take our time finding out about new developments and technologies. It was so successful, we‚ve even ordered an intruder detection solution ˆ an area that we weren‚t greatly involved in but intend to offer to our customers from now on."
Carol Kirk, security surveyor, Initial Fire Security: "As with previous years, LIVE was an excellently organised event. It gave us the opportunity to catch up with contacts and see demonstrations of the latest technologies. We‚ll definitely be at one of the shows again next year."
Norbain LIVE will be taking to the road again at around the same time in 2007.
