P&J Live has acquired and will run The Safety Expo, the North-east of Scotland’s dedicated Health & Safety event that showcases local safety related solutions, products and services.
The P&J Live team will take ownership of the show, providing added marketing, PR and commercial support, event coordination and event delivery services.
The event returns to the venue in Aberdeen for its third consecutive year on Wednesday 8th October 2025.
The Safety Expo was launched and nurtured by creative print business XIC in 2023 and has since experienced year-on-year growth, welcoming more than 50 industry exhibitors.
Saturation diver Chris Lemons has been secured as keynote speaker at the show’s special business breakfast and will deliver a gripping account of his miraculous survival after being cut off from his umbilical air supply whilst 300ft beneath the surface of the North Sea in September 2012. Having originally been released as a Netflix documentary called ‘Last Breath’ in 2019, the account is now a newly released Hollywood movie starring Woody Harrelson, Simu Liu and Finn Cole.
Show founder and XIC director, Jason Moir, said: “We are delighted to see the growth and development of the show get to this point, with P&J Live coming on board to take it to the next level. To date, the show has exceeded my expectations in terms of growth over the past two years, which is fantastic, and now the time is right to pass it on and see it develop and evolve.
Rob Wicks, Managing Director of P&J Live, said: “Our team is excited to have made this acquisition as we take another step forward to expanding and diversifying our content offering. It’s a strong show with so much potential and taps into a great deal of business sectors in both Aberdeen and Scotland. With significant expertise in hosting all aspects of exhibitions, the skills of our in-house teams fit perfectly, and we look forward to developing the show and delivering a highly relevant and memorable annual event.”
