25,000m2 and Still Counting
Stanco
Exhibitions have just completed their busiest period in the history of the company
but haven’t slowed down yet; the Stanco team kicked off their Autumn season by servicing
9 high profile, all service shows in just two weeks!
Autumn
Gift Fair started proceedings with a shell scheme build of over 4500m2 closely
followed by DSEi the world’s largest fully integrated defence and security
exhibition which required 6000m2 of shell to be built around already situated
helicopters and tanks. At the same time the build for Offshore began;
36 freebuild areas. Southampton Boat Show with 10 freebuild areas and Top
Drawer at 3000m2 of shell were among the rest of the events over the 14 day
period.
In total
Stanco built over 25,000m2 shell scheme, laid 105,000m2 of carpet, and designed
and fulfilled 82 features and one-off stands.
Added to which the electrical team installed over 17,400 fittings, logistics
battled atrocious winds while lifting a £3.5 million sunseeker, the furniture
team delivered to more than 900 exhibitors and Expo-Systems, the badging and
registration arm to the company, gave 35,000 people access to exhibitions
across the country.
Ben
Gleeson, Group Operations Manager for SPE Offshore Europe 2009 says, “We have
worked with Stanco since 2001 on Offshore Europe and they have always provided
a good service to us. This year’s event was a record breaking event 12% bigger
than previous years with over 1600 exhibitors. The Stanco team worked very hard
to deliver the best event yet, a great performance showing their dedication to
the event.”
Sally de
Swart, Exhibition Director for DSEi says; “Switching contractor on an event is
always rather daunting but Stanco stood up to the challenge and performed well
under pressure. The build is notoriously
difficult as the space onlys range to over 1000m2 and the shell has to build
around exhibits such as helicopters and tanks. The Stanco team pulled together worked
efficiently and exceeded our expectations.”
Paul
Slaney, Managing Director of Stanco Exhibitions says “September sees some of
our biggest shows of the year and our highest volume of work. It is a testament to the strong team ethic in
Stanco that these shows have run so well and exceeded organiser
expectation. We pride ourselves on
working closely with our clients and adapting our offering to their needs –
such a broad range of exhibitions has given us the chance to really test our
flexibility to do so and the sheer number of shows and volume of work proves
our capability to perform amazingly well under pressure.”
