Customer Testimonials

“Our company had for a number of years been applying to exhibit at
SMM (specifically in the engine hall) but no stands were available! Early in
2008, having tried and failed again to secure a stand, I was introduced to
Nele and I advised of our frustration….. then in June that year, Nele when
hearing there had been a cancellation called me immediately, but we
needed to act fast!
With Nele’s assistance the stand was secured, and every SMM since then
we have employed Nele’s expertise in ensuring a trouble free and
successful event."

John Downs, Sales Manager, Cast Iron Welding Ltd

“Nele has been a great working partner for Wescom and has taken all the
stress out of exhibiting at SMM with her professionalism and efficiency. She
is an absolute pleasure to work with, really cares that she is delivering the
absolute best service and value for money for her clients.
She is ever helpful and always on hand in the build up to, and throughout
the exhibition to support, whether liaising with the organisers, logistics
teams or stand contractors, using her organisational and language skills and
of course, her persuasive charm!
I am looking forward to working with her again soon."

Chris Feibusch
Director of Global Marketing and Communications
Wescom Signal and Rescue UK Ltd.

“Negotiating with exhibition organisers to secure a good stand location at a
tradeshow can be a complicated process. However, Nele’s personality,
understanding of our business, flexibility and diligence were all key in helping
us successfully secure a position in a great location, ideal for achieving the
necessary awareness at such an important tradeshow as SMM.”

Nick Brown, Bureau Veritas

as Brand and External Relations Manager of Lloyd's Register,

"Over many years cooperation and collaboration, we have come to recognise
Nele as a true and valuable professional. She brings personality, clarity and
multiple transferable skills which benefit a variety of sectors.

Her energetic yet thoughtful & disciplined business approach adds immeasurable value
to projects and both Lincoln Diesels Ltd and our wider group have relied regularly on her
input, reliability and innovationwhen it comes to theSMM Hamburg exhibition, the flagship
event for our own industry.”
