Events spaces have become a target for terrorist activity. In 2017, the Manchester Arena bombing became the deadliest act of terrorism in the UK since the 7/7 bombings in 2005. In the summer of 2024, three Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna were forced to be cancelled following a possible security threat. These attacks have shone a light on the current measures incorporated by venues to help protect the public and staff.
There are new laws being introduced to make our streets and events safer. It’s great to see that legislation on the ownership, production, transportation of zombie-style knives and machetes in the UK is being introduced to help protect people. But new regulations can only go so far in keeping the public safe and reducing potential harm.

While larger companies have long recognised the strategic value of UC, a significant paradigm shift is underway. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), traditionally constrained by budget and resource limitations, are now enthusiastically embracing UC. The emergence of affordable and adaptable solutions, perfectly tailored to their unique needs and operational scales, has fuelled this widespread adoption.
