Advisory Council

Key to the success of International Security Expo is our expert Advisory Council. Chaired by Angela Essel, the Advisory Council ensures the most pressing security challenges we are all facing are reflected throughout the event, shaping our agendas to cover the full spectrum of security trends and meeting our visitors needs, attracting the highest calibre of security professionals.

Chairwoman's Message:

"I am absolutely thrilled to be taking on the Chairwoman role. International Security Expo is seen throughout the industry as one of the most respected security events, not just in the UK but globally. I know first-hand the positive impact the event has on the industry, as well as on the safety and security of the public, so to be representing the event and leading this incredible Council of esteemed experts is a real honour. I cannot wait to help shape and develop this September’s event and those in future years.”
