COUNTER TERROR EXPO 2014, 29-30 APRIL 2014 AT OLYMPIA, LONDON
Press Release – 8th April 2014
From the protection of individuals – whether VIPs or NGO personnel – to SWAT operations, armoured vehicles have a key role to play in the defence against terrorism. The nature of the threat is constantly evolving, however, and so too are the requirements placed on the manufacturers of armoured vehicles. At Counter Terror Expo 2014, visitors will be able to view and experience the very latest security solutions from the world’s leading armoured vehicle suppliers within a dedicated Armoured and Support Vehicle area.
Bringing together buyers and suppliers from across the world, Counter Terror Expo, now in its 6th edition, is the premier international event of its kind. Jim Clarke, Director of Special Projects for Millbrook, one of the exhibitors, commented: “[We] exhibited at the Counter Terror Expo for the first time in 2013 and found it to be a very successful event, with lots of useful connections made. We found the calibre and focus of delegates in attendance at Counter Terror to be of the right level, in terms of subject matter and their position as key decision makers”.
Millbrook, a company with extensive experience in the design, test, development and manufacture of discreet and covert OEM platforms, will be showcasing a discreetly armoured vehicle that is fully integrated with a selection of C4ISTAR systems.
In addition to new vehicles being revealed for the first time, the Expo will also feature a range of the most advanced up-armouring, upgrade and retro-fi t options and accessories. As Guerman Goutorov, Chairman of Streit Group, another key exhibitor, said: “We are providing security solutions, manufacturing and redesigning our vehicles to make them suitable for the constant changes in the world’s threat levels”. Streit Group’s main focus for Counter Terror Expo will be on its newest models for VIP and Homeland Security markets as well as the launch of its Armored Riot Control Vehicles.
Amongst the other exhibitors showcasing their latest products and solutions in the Armoured and Support Vehicle area will be Digital RF, Land Rover, OVIK and Tyron.
David Thompson, Event Manager, Clarion Defence & Security, commented: “The reputation that Counter Terror Expo has built up since its inception has led to many of the world’s leading companies in the counter-terrorism and security arena wanting to exhibit. This is particularly the case in the field of vehicle armouring which is why we have a dedicated Armoured and Support Vehicle area. This will be a must-visit area for anyone with responsibility for the protection of personnel at risk of attack from terrorist and other groups with intent to cause harm”.

Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, IT, logistics, Press Releases, security, Trade Shows and Events
29-30 April, Olympia, London
Press Release – 04th February 2014
Taking place on the 29th and 30th April at Olympia, London, Forensics Europe Expo 2014 is set to be this year’s premier international forum dedicated to the entire forensics sector and its supply chain. Last year, the event introduced over 3000 buyers and specifiers to the latest forensic products, equipment and services as well as providing a definitive source of education and best practice together with unparalleled access to training and networking opportunities.
Organised by Clarion Events, Forensics Europe Expo will once again be co-located with Counter Terror Expo 2014, ensuring maximum marketing exposure before, during and after the event and creating an invaluable cross-flow of information. Supporting the exhibition, Forensics Europe will also feature a high level conference programme designed to attract hard-to-reach decision makers and thought leaders from both the public and private forensic arena, making the event an ideal platform for the launch of new products and cutting edge technologies.
President of The Forensic Science Society, Dr Ann Priston, commented: “As the largest professional body of forensic practitioners in the UK, it is fitting that we should be represented at Forensic Europe Expo which will not only offer valuable insights into the latest developments in forensic science but also provide an important networking opportunity for those working in areas where forensic science is having a real impact.
“Our role at this year’s event is particularly significant as we have just been granted a Royal Charter and we will be exhibiting under our new name, The Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences, and we have chosen to launch at the Expo because it is such a high profile industry event.
“The Workshop programme is certain to feature some fascinating insights into new areas where the expertise of scientists is driving standards in investigation and furthering knowledge. In particular, digital forensics is likely to be widely covered at this year’s exhibition. This is a fascinating and fast-moving field, involving the fight against cyber crime and other challenges that our virtual world is now presenting to law enforcers.”
Another key supporter of Forensics Europe Expo is The Forensic and Policing Services Association (FAPSA). Allan Scott, MD of The Evidence Partnership, one of the founding members of FAPSA, said:
“Clarion Events have been supportive of our aims of giving SMEs a voice in the forensic and policing market whilst also ensuring that quality is maintained. We’re confident that the event will enable us to explain our ethos and our full range of services to prospective members and show how smaller organisations can make a significant contribution in the criminal justice arena.”
Philip Hunter, Event Director, Clarion Defence & Security added: “Forensics Europe Expo has already established its place as the leading event for the entire forensics sector. With an exciting new programme of content, this year’s show promises to offer the best opportunities yet for important new collaborations and business relationships to be established.”

Industry-friendly pricing announced for 2014 Security Technology Live Exhibition — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, Press Releases, Trade Shows and Events
Security Technology Live today announced a radical new pricing model for exhibition space at the event, which will bring the whole commercial and domestic security industry together at the NEC, Birmingham from 13 – 15 May 2014.
Stand space rates for Security Technology Live will start at just £200 per sqm for the first 50 exhibitors to sign up for the show irrespective of stand size, and a number of exhibitors have already booked their locations to take advantage of this unique “Founding 50” special rate.
Security Technology Live 2014 will also run over 3 days rather than the more traditional 4. The shorter open period means exhibitors will be able to make significant savings straight away on stand build and other show costs such as hotel bills, subsistence as well as reducing the time staff are spending away from the office, helping to maximise return on investment in exhibiting at the show.
Clarion Defence and Security Managing Director Tim Porter stated:
“By running Security Technology Live over 3 days we are not only helping our exhibitors save money on setting up for the show, we’ve also been able to reduce our own venue costs significantly too – and we feel it is only fair to pass these savings onto exhibitors in the form of lower prices than those of comparable 4-day shows.”
The show will also benefit exhibitors by having a clear and dedicated focus on the commercial and residential installer community, who will be attracted by a well-targeted visitor marketing campaign constructed with the sole aim of delivering an audience of installers, VAR’s and distributors to the NEC in May 2014.
Porter added
“Exhibitors at Security Technology can be confident that Clarion will be investing 100% of our marketing budget into attracting the security channel and installer demographic from across the UK and Europe. If your market is the security channel, every penny we spend goes into attracting the visitors you want to meet”
Security Technology Live will take place 13 – 15 May 2014 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK.
Companies interested in exhibiting should contact Philip Hunter, Event Director on T: +44 (0) 20 7384 7776 or email [email protected]

Managing Supply Chain Vulnerability — Press Release
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, Press Releases, Trade Shows and Events
“Supply chains are now more vulnerable than ever,” says Thom McLeod, Founder and Managing Director, Tenzing Consulting. “Being able to systematically manage supply chain risk is a very important issue today, because Boards of Directors are waking up to it. Audit Committees are now required to look at overall enterprise risk, and the supply chain is often an area where there is a tremendous amount of business risk to be managed,” he explains.
As a solution provider attending the marcus evans Chief Procurement Officer Summit 2013, in Atlanta, Georgia, April 22-23, McLeod takes the focus to supply chain risk management, and discusses why procurement is relevant to every function in an organization.
Why is supply chain vulnerability a big issue today? Where is this vulnerability coming from?
Companies are only now starting to understand where supply chain risk fits into overall enterprise risk. Many organizations look primarily at financial and market risks, without giving the supply chain the attention it needs. The first challenge for supply chain-dependent organizations is to make sure that supply chain risk is elevated to and visible at an executive or Board level.
The effort that procurement and supply chain organizations have invested to improve productivity, reduce cost, and become leaner have paid big dividends. But in many respects, these improvements have made supply chains more vulnerable than ever. Cost reduction has driven a lot of supply offshore, making the supply chain more vulnerable to geographic, weather, security, and political risks. Many companies have also leveraged the volume of their purchases, consolidating to fewer suppliers or even sole sourcing, resulting in more single points of failure in the supply chain.
Lean principles, rightly, emphasize keeping inventories low, but doing so without a full view of supply chain risk can deplete the inventories that act as a “shock absorber” for supply chain disruptions.
What should they look at first?
Really understanding how a supply chain is put together is the first critical step, because a supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Many organizations look at their first-tier suppliers and manage the largest of them vigorously, but a smaller second- or third-tier supplier can be a major single point of failure, leaving them extremely vulnerable. For example, one of our clients found that many of its first-tier suppliers were buying sub-components from the same manufacturing location of a single third-tier supplier. The entire supply chain could collapse if that single site were disrupted.
Once a company knows where it is vulnerable, becoming more resilient is the next step. This involves constantly monitoring events and conditions that may disrupt the supply chain, and taking proactive steps to address them, such as positioning inventories, informing customers, and switching to secondary suppliers. The best practice is that even these actions should not be improvised. Rather, they should be part of a “playbook” developed in advance and ready to put into action when disruptions occur or are imminent. This is what drives better resiliency.
How can procurement become relevant to every function in the organization?
The procurement as a service function has to successfully and effectively reach out to all key stakeholders in the organization. In other words, it must export the value of procurement to other functions in ways that clearly align with those stakeholders’ mission, objectives, and measurable business value. Marketing is a good example of a function that can be a challenge to partner with as a procurement team. Marketing sees its mission as driving revenues and sees itself as a high-ROI investment for the company. Rather than approaching marketing to help them “save” money, as many procurement professionals do, it is better to focus on procurement strategies that drive greater value from their investments and higher effectiveness from suppliers in supporting marketing’s mission. If they save money, too, who can complain?
Do you have any final words of advice?
Become completely invaluable as a partner to every functional executive and senior executive in the company. That means reaching out to those people, understanding their business and how they need to accomplish what they do, then figuring out how your procurement organization can deliver on that. The biggest challenge is making sure your procurement team has the skills and temperament for this mission – great communication, listening and problem solving skills are more important to accomplishing this than the technical knowledge we often emphasize in hiring.

Contract Management for Defense and Aerospace
Combat US government budget reduction by Assessing Opportunities, Risks and Challenges in Commercial and International Contracts
Event Date: 15-17 May 2012
Location: Washington, DC/VA, USA
Traditionally government and commercial contracting in the aerospace and defense industry has been a lucrative and reliable business. However, recently due to difficult economic times across the country, the US government has been cutting back on defense spending and as a result many defense and aerospace companies are forming business relationships with international customers in order to maintain or increase revenue. The economic landscape as well as recent regulations has presented new concerns for companies across the globe. This conference will address the need for adequate contract management in the governmental, commercial and international landscape. It will also introduce and provide oversight on the recent changes in the aerospace and defense industry and how it has affected contracts while highlighting best practices for managing specific contracts and avoiding DCAA audits to ensure compliance and continued growth for your business.

Tactical Data Links: Timothy E. Snodgrass from Rockwell Collins to Address the Modern Battlespace — Press Release

Tactical Data Links: Timothy E. Snodgrass from Rockwell Collins to Address the Modern Battlespace
6th September 2011, London, UK
Timothy E. Snodgrass, Chief Architect, Government Systems, Rockwell Collins, will be discussing how to use different data classes without compromising battlespace performance at the Software Defined Radio conference, October 26th-28th 2011, at the Sheraton Amsterdam Airport Hotel in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The resolution of how bursts of tactical data links and short messages can be used in combination with more complicated data, like full stream motion video, is a top priority for the modern battlespace as it optimises the communication flow, range of messages and data that fighters are able to send. The challenge for industry leaders such as Rockwell Collins is to develop applications that expand existing bandwidths through better spectrum management.
According to Rockwell Collins’ magazine- Horizons, the company will spend more than one billion dollars in 2011 on research and development to spur innovation in areas such as military communications. The company further states that they are eager to provide customers with the right solutions at the right time and that “this is important because (…) new technologies typically have three things in common- good features, good business strategy and good timing”.
In an attempt to modernise tactical communications and software defined radios, Snodgrass will be accompanied by fellow experts such as Dr. Michael Street, Senior Scientist Tactical Communications, NATO NC3A, who will address how cognitive SDR can be applied through interoperable tactical radio for multi-national operations.
Additional speakers to review advancements include:
• Major General Sander Schnitger, Director DOBBP, C41 & NEC, Netherlands MoD
• SES Mr Henry Muller, Director Space and Terrestrial Communications Directorate, US Army CERDEC
• Mr. Frederic Bouyer, CONTACT Programme Manager, DGA, French Ministry of Defence
• Tiberius Tomoiaga, Project Manager RIFS, Romanian Ministry of Defence
Speaker details are available on the event website at www.sdreurope.com, and the programme is available for download. In addition, visitors can access the Media Centre for the latest SDR news and developments.

Future MRO & Ageing Aircraft 2011 — Conference
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Events, logistics, Military Aviation, Trade Shows and Events
Future MRO & Ageing Aircraft 2011
Date: 26 – 27 October 2011
Venue: Holiday Inn Bloomsbury, London, UK
Description:
In a world where credit has become scarce, fleet life extension is an attractive prospect for both large and small airlines – regional and global as the costs of purchasing or leasing new aircraft can significantly outstrip the costs of extending an airframe or engine’s life span.
SMi’s Future MRO & Ageing Aircraft 2011 conference will explore the debate and technical considerations around mid to end-life civil aviation fleet extension as well as a number of themes including the technical and cost implications of extending an aircrafts life versus renewing a fleet with modern aircraft. The conference will also examine future MRO strategies and analyse successful airline case studies.
This unique conference will bring together ageing fleet operators, MRO organisations, aviation consultants and financiers into one place to network and learn about the practical steps necessary to extend the life of an aircraft and ensure a sound return on investment on such projects.
