In addition, the construction process saved more than 11,000kg of CO2e by using Cemfree, an ultra-low carbon masonry mortar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humaid Matar Al Dhaheri, Chairman of Excel London and Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNEC Group, said: \u201cThe expansion of Excel marks a pivotal moment and a strategic investment to drive growth for ADNEC Group, as well as reinforce London as a world-leading event destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis expansion enhances our competitiveness to attract the largest international events, generating significant economic flows for the city, and supporting thousands of businesses and local jobs. The increased space directly translates into higher revenues and profits through improved occupancy rates and the ability to host larger and concurrent events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe flexible spaces allow us to accommodate new types of events, increase our annual event count, and attract leading global names in vital sectors such as technology and science. This expansion is the driver of our future growth, enabling us to better serve our clients and strengthen our role as a vital economic engine for London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeremy Rees, CEO of Excel London, added: \u201cThis expansion is a historic moment of pride not just for Excel in its 25th anniversary year, but for the entire city of London. It is not just an increase in space, but an investment in the future and a testament to our commitment to providing a world-class environment for world-class events\u2026fitting therefore that the spectacle of Formula E should be the first.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: \u201cInterest and bookings for our new expansion, and Excel as a whole, are at unprecedented levels, with 10 major international congresses already confirmed for 2026 \u2013 a record for a single year \u2013 and demonstrating London as a global events destination.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Excel, together with its new entertainment district Immerse LDN, hosts more than 400 events annually, welcoming four million visitors \u2013 a quarter of these from overseas \u2013 with these figures expected to rise over the coming years. The venue was acquired by ADNEC Group in 2008 and, thanks to their investment and vision, has grown from strength to strength ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Season finale of Formula E marks first official event in new space London venue now the largest fully integrated conference &amp; exhibition centre in Europe Expansion stems from growing demand from UK, Europe &amp; North America and will \u201creinforce London as a world-leading event destination\u201d London\u2019s Deputy Mayor for Business Howard Dawber shows support for &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[3329,3328],"class_list":["post-78915","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-adnec-group","tag-excel"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
