This award recognises our work on the 25th anniversary edition of Seawork, Europe’s largest commercial marine and workboat exhibition.
The project, delivered for Mercator Media, involved managing a complex build across a 12,000sqm exhibition area with 473 exhibitors and 7,584 visitors from 45 countries.
From delivering bespoke feature areas to handling logistical challenges with precision, Showlite exceeded our client’s expectations on all fronts.
"At Seawork, we rely on Showlite for all aspects of stand building, electrics, carpets, furniture, feature areas, and graphics. Their team consistently delivers to an exceptional standard. Adam, our dedicated Account Manager, is fantastic at finding solutions for any challenge we face, whether it’s budget limitations, location constraints, or exhibitor queries. Working with Showlite gives us complete peace of mind, and we trust them wholeheartedly to help make Seawork a success every year"
