The 24hr security provided by the Organisers is designed to prevent unauthorised access to the hall, NOT to secure the contents of your stand. There will be internal overnight security patrols only and these cannot secure the safety of your goods if left unattended.

Please ensure your stand is manned at all times. Please help the organisers with the security of the halls by informing the Organisers' office immediately of any security issues. Exhibitors are advised to not leave their stands unattended during build-up, breakdown or the open period, and to take particular care with personal items such as mobile telephones and laptop computers.

Please note that most hired cabinets have common locks and should NOT be regarded as secure units. Any incidents of theft must be reported to the Organisers immediately as it will be necessary to complete a security form and report the incident to the police. Please note that neither the Organisers nor the venue can be held responsible for any loss or damage to stands or exhibits.

Storage and Onsite Handling
There are no storage facilities at the Venue and any company requiring this facility should contact GES Logistics for a specific quotation.

You are also advised that fire regulations prohibit the storage of empty crates, packing materials and exhibits behind stands. Please complete the relevant form or contact GES Logistics using the details in the checklist/order forms section.
