FIM Expo Harrogate proved to be a fantastic gathering for fire safety professionals, offering a valuable opportunity to explore the latest products, engage in meaningful discussions, and connect with industry experts. The event brought together a diverse mix of manufacturers, installers, consultants, and end users, creating an ideal environment for learning and networking.

With a strong lineup of exhibitors, attendees had the chance to see first-hand the latest innovations in fire detection, alarm systems, emergency lighting, and suppression technology. Companies showcased their newest products, providing valuable insights and demonstrations throughout the day.

Running alongside the exhibition, the FIA conference offered engaging discussions on key industry topics, including updates to BS 5839-1 and BS 5839-8, battery safety, and the important issue of mental health within the fire industry. These CPD-accredited sessions attracted great participation and encouraged open conversations about the challenges and changes shaping the sector.

The relaxed and welcoming nature of FIM Expo allowed attendees to make the most of their time, whether by gaining technical knowledge, discovering new products, or simply catching up with industry colleagues. Many took advantage of the opportunity to discuss future projects, ask questions directly to manufacturers, and share best practices with peers.
