A defence fair that took place in Telford last week will return to the Shropshire town next year, organisers have said.
Specialist Defence and Security Convention UK was hosted at Telford's International Centre last week, after moving from the Three Counties Showground in Malvern where it had previously been held.However, despite the disruption, SDSC organisers have hailed the Telford event a"great success" and said it is to return to the same venue next year.
"The unique opportunity for industry to meet face-to-face with representatives from MOD, UK Strategic Command and US DOD means that SDSC-UK is now an important fixture in the calendar. We’re really excited for next year." Erica Dill-Russell, compere, and a director at US-based company, Liberty Alliance, who were at the event, said:"With representatives coming from across NATO countries and global industry, SDSC-UK is a great example of how collaboration will enable the very best outcome for all involved.”
