MLA EXPO 19

MLA EXPO 19 – A team day away!

Beth Wilshaw-Rhead, Media Executive of SFR Recruitment Solutions.

Yawning, in the dire need for a morning coffee our team embarked on the journey to the international centre in Telford to attend the Master Locksmiths Association 2019. After a few hours in the car and a slightly disappointing pastry from the services we made it! Slightly confused about the whereabouts of the car park we decided to follow a van with the word ‘locksmith’ on it and surprisingly enough we found our way to the right car park.

MLA EXPO 2019, Telford International Centre

The exhibition was well laid out, professional stands and unique products filled the space, meaning that it took many laps around the event to see everything and engage with people. It was enjoyable to see the passion that many had for their company, brand or product. From antique locks, bespoke safes and underwater security systems there was so many interesting products which demanded our attention. Overall the day was interesting, hectic, yet enjoyable. Anyway, enough talking, here is 5 points from each of our team members describing their own personal experience from the day- so enjoy

“Give me 5 points of what you enjoyed at the MLA Expo 19!”
