O2 Academies across the UK have had specialist evacuation chairs installed in order to ensure the safe evacuation of all members of an audience in a fire.

Evac+Chair International supplied the chairs which are designed with those with physical disabilities, pregnant women, and the elderly, in mind.

Evac+Chair products have already been installed in high profile venues across the world including Twickenham, and the Yas Marina circuit in Abu Dhabi – scene of an emotional win for British F1 driver Lewis Hamilton last weekend.

A representative of Academy Music Group said, “This is part of our continued development to ensure the safety of our patrons within our venues. Evac+Chair is the best for our needs, and the company ensure we had the correct chairs at each location.”
