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!”

Jamie’s Points:
Jamie Smith- Director
I personally had an amazing experience at the MLA 2019 EXPO, a chance to meet and greet face to face with clients new and old.
Always good to break away from the office and have a team bonding day to an event within our industry.
A great range of products that I am particularly interested in i.e. Architectural Hardware, Door hardware, Locks. Locking systems and safes.
Always interesting to see the existing locking systems and what the future holds with finger recognition and smart locks/security products.
A very friendly and well organised environment, with a good selection of refreshments.
Also, a big thank you to Access2, Dormakaba, Henry
Squire & Sons, Abus and Securikey, for engaging us with there product
