Mclean Events has announced that SIBEC and SIBEC Euro will join forces in November 2006 to bring operators from the UK and European health and fitness markets together.

Nigel Wallace, SIBEC event director, said: “Several of our European operators have expressed an interest in sourcing new UK suppliers and a number of the larger UK operators are already expanding in Europe, so the combined SIBEC UK/Euro event will benefit both.”

SIBEC UK/Euro will be fully integrated for 2006, but 8-10 key representatives from European operators will be attending SIBEC UK/Euro this year, in Malta, on 2-5 November.
