UKATA is proud to announce Government Business Magazine as the headline sponsor of the UKATA Asbestos Conference 2025, taking place on 26th June at The Belfry in Nottingham.

Government Business Magazine is a well-established publication providing valuable insight and updates for senior decision-makers across central and local government. Covering key sectors such as compliance, public safety, procurement and environmental health, the magazine plays a pivotal role in supporting informed public sector policy and operational decisions.

The theme of this year’s conference, "Beyond Awareness: Taking Action on Asbestos," aligns closely with the mission of Government Business Magazine to promote effective governance and proactive risk management. With asbestos still present in many public buildings including schools, hospitals and council-owned properties, the involvement of a publication that reaches the heart of public sector leadership is highly relevant.

“We’re delighted to welcome Government Business Magazine as our headline sponsor for 2025,” said UKATA Chief Operating Officer, Craig Evans. “Their readership includes many of the people responsible for managing buildings where asbestos may still pose a risk. This partnership is an ideal fit as we look to turn awareness into meaningful action across sectors.”

Polly Jones, Government Business Editor added: “Government Business is thrilled to be the headline sponsor of the UKATA Asbestos Conference 2025. This event addresses an important issue for public sector organisations and with so many public buildings still affected, it’s vital that decision-makers are equipped with the knowledge and resources to protect their service users. We're looking forward to the event and the discussions and lessons that will be shared.”

The UKATA Asbestos Conference is set to bring together industry leaders, training providers, policymakers and safety professionals for a day focused on practical solutions and collaboration. With headline sponsorship from Government Business Magazine, the event will benefit from even broader reach and engagement within the public sector.

Tickets for the conference are still available, with the deadline for registration extended to Friday, 20th June due to high demand. Click Here to register: UKATA Asbestos Conference – Beyond Awareness: Taking Action on Asbestos
