UBM has appointed Peter Poole as event manager for its world leading security exhibition, IFSEC International, to be held at the NEC, Birmingham from 14th – 17th May 2012. Poole has been with UBM for seven years. He spent four years with International Firex and most recently managed UK sales on IFSEC International. He will now be responsible for the global sales strategy as well as evolving the IFSEC International brand around the world through educational content, new product development and launch areas.

To be the event manager on the UK’s eighth largest exhibition and the world’s largest annual security and fire event is superb. Everyone wants to work with the best brands and IFSEC International is certainly that.”
