Service Solution: Facility Services

The National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK is one of the busiest exhibition centres in Europe, staging more than 200 exhibitions each year, or as they say, "Europe's busiest with 200 shows a year". The shows range from world-famous public shows such as Cruft’s Dog Show and the British International Motor Show to international exhibitions like IPEX and the Spring Fair.

Up to 4 million people visit the centre each year. With 20 halls totalling 190,000 square metres it is also the biggest exhibition centre in Britain and seventh largest in Europe. The NEC is renowned for its large-scale international trade fairs, but also has an active interest in helping smaller specialist shows develop, providing advice, support and services to the organisers

In 1993 ISS UK and the NEC Group entered into a strategic partnership targeted at providing top-quality service to the centres customers and visitors. The cornerstone of the partnership is a site based project management team, which includes dedicated training and administrative resources.

In an exhibition centre it is essential to have a flexible work force. The ISS staff is engaged to reflect the centres operational needs - up to 400 people are needed on days of maximum occupancy.
