We’re excited to announce that ILECS will be exhibiting at Facilities & Estates Management Live for the first time this October.

Taking place at the Business Design Centre in London on Tuesday 20^th and Wednesday 21^st October 2026, the event brings together facilities and estates management professionals with leading service providers and suppliers from across the industry.

As independent lift and escalator consultants, we’re looking forward to meeting facilities managers, estate managers, building owners and other property professionals to discuss the challenges they face when managing their lifting equipment.

What is Facilities & Estates Management Live?

Facilities & Estates Management Live is a dedicated event for facilities and estates management professionals, brought to the industry by the team behind Facilities Management Journal (FMJ)

Across the two-day event, visitors will have the opportunity to meet a wide range of service providers and product suppliers, alongside attending seminars and technical briefings covering some of the key issues and developments affecting facilities and estates management.

The 2026 seminar programme is set to explore topics including ESG goals, the challenges of managing a hybrid workforce, and the growing impact of AI and data technologies on facilities management services.

Independent lift expertise for facilities and estates professionals

For those responsible for buildings with lifts and escalators, managing specialist equipment can bring a range of technical, commercial and compliance considerations.

That’s where independent consultancy can make a difference.

At ILECS, our specialists work independently of lift contractors and manufacturers, providing clients with impartial advice and support throughout the lift management journey.

Whether you’re looking to better understand the condition and future requirements of your lifting equipment, planning a modernisation or replacement project, reviewing your maintenance arrangements, or looking for support with the day-to-day management of a lift portfolio, our team can help take the mystique and guesswork out of lift management.

Visitors will be able to speak to the ILECS team about our four core consultancy solutions:

1. Insight – independent lift inspections and technical reporting
2. Navigate – professionally managed lift projects
3. Enhance – lift maintenance contracts tailored to client and equipment requirements
4. OneVision – specialist outsourced lift management

Meet the ILECS team

Facilities & Estates Management Live 2026 will be our first time exhibiting at the event, and we’re looking forward to meeting both new and familiar faces of the two days.

“We’re really excited to be exhibiting at Facilities & Estates Management Live for the first time. Facilities and estates professionals are responsible for managing increasingly complex buildings and portfolios, and lifts can be a challenging part of that responsibility. We’re looking forward to meeting visitors, hearing about the challenges they face and showing how truly independent lift consultancy can make lift management simpler and more effective.” – Dave Marks, Associate Director of Business Development

If you’re attending, come and find the ILECS team to talk to us about your lifts and escalators, ask our specialists a question, and discover how independent consultancy could support your buildings and wider estate.
