“We are into a wide range of security products. GUNNEBO is a global business. We are here to promote our products. We were here last year and we made some big contacts....reasonable contacts in the industry, hence we are back this year.” – Aidan Killeen, Business Line Manger, Site Protection, GUNNEBO.

“Thales is a global security company that is second to none. We have over 60, 000 staff worldwide. We are the headline sponsor of this exhibition. We are here because we are a key player in the UK supplying our equipment to armed forces and the police around the world. These include the supply of crucial military technology – sophisticated Command Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence Surveillance, Targeting Acquisition and Reconnaissance (C4ISTAR) systems.  It is a great exhibition in terms of the large turn-out, the calibre of exhibitors and visitors that have been invited. We were the main sponsor last year, but did not exhibit. I am very pleased our Managing Director, Mr Greg Roberts delivered the opening Address and a workshop on CBRNe.” – Paul Mottershead, Director of Communications, Thales.

“We are an IT company based in Yorkshire. We are currently into three businesses-Surveillance, CCTV Security and IT. Today we are showing some of our surveillance solutions. We work with the Police, Law Enforcement Agencies, Ministry of Defence and some of the Local Authorities. About the effect of the expo on our overall business, your question will sure have answers in six months’ time. When you come to an exhibition, it is very difficult to evaluate its impact on your products immediately until after the exhibition. There seems to be some international representatives who are willing to do business with us. So far we are meeting some interesting people.” – Mike Channing, Sales/Marketing Manager, Telemachus
