The organisers of Naidex National 2012 (1st-3rd May Birmingham NEC) are proud to announce that Falklands War veteran Simon Weston OBE will be officially opening the show at 10am on Tuesday 1st May. Visitors to the UK’s largest disability exhibition will now have the chance to see Simon as we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the conflict that changed his life forever.

In 1982 the Sir Galahad was destroyed in Bluff Cove on the Falkland Islands. On board was Simon Weston, Welsh Guardsman, whose struggle to overcome his injuries (46% burns) and endure years of re-constructive surgery, including 70 major operations and surgical procedures, has been closely followed by the entire nation. Visiting Naidex National is the perfect way to pay respect to Simon’s courage and determination and be inspired by his heroic story.

Simon commented: “I am delighted to be officially opening Naidex National and am really looking forward to seeing all of the innovative products on display to promote independent living.
