[![Request A Quote](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/7885436/interactive-190412425768.png)](https://www.abilityint.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLL1IWKa%2F9abmF3YCfVsDbN3wpa8cv8yu3fkJWCYwMGFsCwAdxDbaVd3yI4YoDEiXVcS5kZjoIUgx%2FTTUmpzTxjfv5gOvuW2Ckn2LJhokKgX7tP0aLsjY8ZK9lCGklGzECxjthCDEOD6ungEnPAtZuoiplUrBF1yrR3q5DXLmQ4CsS628lbRGu55&webInteractiveContentId=190412425768&portalId=7885436) ## **Guild Of Master Chimney Sweeps** Our first event at the beginning of the month was the **[Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps](https://www.guildofmasterchimneysweeps.co.uk/)** on the 14th and 15th of April. We really enjoyed talking to visitors about how our chimney and roof access ladders could support them with their work, and we displayed some of our products on our stand so they could take a closer look at them and get a bit more “hands on” to see how they feel. With all their work taking place at height, having safe and secure access to roofs is essential for chimney sweeps, which is why we’ve designed a number of access systems for this specific purpose, including our Chimney Access Ridge Stand (CARS Unit), our Fall Arrest Safety Equipment (FASE) and our Adjust Abil Ladder. ## **NEC – Health And Safety Event** The second show we attended in April was the **[NEC Health and Safety Event](https://www.healthandsafetyevent.com/)**, which ran from the 25th to the 27th. Taking place each year, it offers professionals from a wide range of industries the chance to come together and explore the latest innovations and trends in health and safety. This was the ideal opportunity for us to meet with H&S experts and showcase how our equipment can benefit those working at height. We took along our **[Desksurfer](https://www.abilityint.com/desksurfer-over-desk-access-platform)** and **[CHAMP](https://www.abilityint.com/height-adjustable-mobile-platform-champ)** access systems to the NEC. Suitable for industries like manufacturing and Facilities Management/maintenance, they are designed to provide access over immoveable obstructions, providing plenty of clearance and allowing engineers, operators and more to get on with their work safely. At Ability International, we are dedicated to promoting our safety solutions to ensure that everyone, across all industries, can benefit from [**quality access and safety equipment**.](https://www.abilityint.com/blog/working-at-height-safety-checklist-working-at-height-solutions) April’s trade shows provided us with a great opportunity to showcase our products and what they can do, so be sure to get in touch to find out more about our solutions and how they can help you!
