Keynote speaker announcement for the Lift and Escalator Symposium

We're delighted to announce Hywel Davies as keynote speaker at this year's Symposium. He will be discussing Building Safety and the Lift Industry.

There have been significant developments in the building safety programme over the past year or so. We have new building regulations processes which apply to applications for approval of full plans, we have new competence requirements covering building work and a new regime for the management and recording of work in higher risk buildings. We also have ongoing uncertainty about construction product regulation and the supporting standards infrastructure in both Europe and the UK. Hywel will attempt to navigate a path through all these changes and identify how they may be expected to affect the lift industry.

The symposium will take place on the 18-19 September 2024 at Kettering Park Hotel & Spa, Kettering, UK.
