"We were delighted to see such a great result for ESSA & AEV members, a large number of whom were nominated for awards and a good proportion of them left with a trophy. We view this as reinforcing the standards that we support for both venues and suppliers," said Andrew Harrison, account and communications manager for AEV and ESSA. "Using ESSA and AEV members gives organisers the confidence that they really are getting the best for their events, and for their exhibitors and event visitors."
