+Collins Youldon, part of the Supply Plus family, recently exhibited at the UKIFDA Expo & Conference 2026 - the UK’s leading event for the liquid fuel distribution industry.
Held at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool on 15–16 April 2026, this annual event brings the sector together to explore innovation, sustainability, and the future of liquid fuels.
Our team were there throughout two busy days of the event - connecting with distributors, suppliers, and industry leaders as we showcased our trusted solutions for the fuel sector.
The 2026 theme focused on Shaping the Future of Liquid Fuels, providing the perfect platform to demonstrate how our engineering and equipment continue to support safe, reliable, and efficient fuel distribution across the UK and Ireland.
Following the recent International Women’s Day, we’re proud to celebrate the amazing women who serve across our emergency services — on the frontline, behind the scenes, and in leadership roles.
At Supply Plus, we’re inspired every day by the dedication, skill, and courage these women bring to keeping our communities safe. Their contribution is invaluable, and we’re committed to supporting a more inclusive future across the sector.
We’re also proud to support two fantastic organisations making a real difference:
- Women in the Fire Service UK (WFS) – empowering women throughout the fire and rescue community with support, development and advocacy.
- Fire Angels Leadership Foundation – inspiring women to break boundaries in leadership, adventure, and emergency services.

Matt Faulks, our Export Account Manager, had a really positive visit for his first international outing for Supply Plus!
SICUR is Spain’s leading international security event, bringing together public and private security companies, associations, professionals in Madrid every couple of years.
Innovation and technological development are the main focus of this professional gathering that addresses comprehensive security across major areas - including fire and emergency security - with the aim of improving wellbeing and social development.
With a great deal of networking and espying +Collins Youldon equipment fitted on OEM stands, Matt covered a great distance in a short time – good for the step count!
We’re proud to share that we are expanding our intellectual property portfolio with a new patent‑pending advancement for our +AS Fire & Safety ELSI (Extending Line System Improvement) product. This latest development builds on our long-standing commitment to supporting Fire & Rescue Services with safer, more efficient ladder systems.
ELSI is our latest patent‑pending system designed to significantly reduce the pull‑load required to raise our +AS 13.5m TX ladder - by up to 50%. Compliant with BS EN1147:2010, hand-built in Cambridge, and available both as a retrofit kit and on all new ASL 135 TX ladders, ELSI represents the next evolution in firefighter support equipment.
This advancement adds to our existing UK intellectual property, as we continue developing future-ready safety solutions, protecting our engineering innovations remains a key strategic priority.

What an incredible evening at the recent Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service Excellence Awards! Supply Plus is proud to have supported this inspiring annual celebration once again.
The stories shared throughout the night - especially those highlighting the frontline rescues and challenging incidents crews faced - were a moving reminder of the bravery and dedication shown by firefighters across the county every single day.
But beyond the remarkable achievements, what truly stood out was the strong camaraderie and team spirit that run through the Service. From long-service milestones to internal Excellence Awards, the evening showcased a culture built on unity, commitment, and deep pride in serving the community.
Congratulations to everyone recognised, and our thanks to all members of Cambridgeshire Fire & Rescue Service for the extraordinary work you continue to do.

We’re honoured to have received a beautiful plaque from the World Firefighters Games, recognising our support of the legendary Toughest Firefighter Alive (TFA) competition.
The +AS ASL7 ladders are now the official standard for the TFA events, including the prestigious “World’s Toughest Firefighters Alive” competition held every two years. Knowing our equipment is helping elite firefighters push their limits is something we’re truly proud of.
A huge thank you to the WFG team for this recognition, to John Hartley who took time out of their busy schedule to present to our MD David Plant - and a special mention to Stuart Higgins, whose support was instrumental in making this happen.

We’re honoured to play a small part in supporting this meaningful initiative.
We’re proud to be supporting Circus Starr again!
Giving back to our community means the world to us — and that’s why we’re thrilled to support Circus Starr, a not-for-profit organisation bringing the joy of a sensory circus to children and families who need it most.
Their inclusive, accessible shows are specially designed for children with additional needs or those going through tough times - right here in Cambridge. It’s a magical, judgement-free space where every child can laugh, move, and simply be themselves.
This year we are also providing sensory boxes so our sponsored attendees can prepare in advance for the sights, sounds, and experiences of the sensory circus. This helps the children’s carers gradually introduce elements of the show to the children, so they do not get overwhelmed during the performance. This is more than just entertainment — it’s a chance to make a real difference.
