October was a month of growth and achievement, with new team members joining and successful events like World Tobacco, Asia in Surabaya. We celebrated wins including the World Vape Show earning ‘Best Trade Show’ at the Global Vapouround Awards, and Lucy Findlay-Beale receiving high commendation at the Indy Awards 2024.
Our September newsletter highlights an exciting month filled with charitable initiatives, industry events, and recognitions. We’ve pledged support for One Day at Christmas 2024, expanded connections at the UK Metals Expo and OFI International, and celebrated being shortlisted for Employer of the Year at the EN Indy Awards 2024. Additionally, our team raised £140.88 for MacMillan Cancer Support during our coffee morning.
In August, we hosted a fun Summer Sports Day, celebrated industry success at the EN Supplier Awards, and held a social media workshop to empower our team. We're also hiring for marketing roles and looking forward to upcoming events in Rotterdam and Surabaya this September!
We kicked off with the Ops Nest Summer Party in London, celebrated Disability Pride Month, and explored new opportunities at the Hilton Showcase Event. We’re also excited to be expanding our team, with new roles available for talented individuals looking to join our award-winning company.
One of our busiest months of the year as teams flew around the world to stage the Future Steel Forum in Stockholm; the World Vape Show in Dubai; and Elevate at ExCeL London. Plus plenty of celebrations to support Global Exhibitions Day 2024, Pride Month, Men's Mental Health Awareness Month and the Women in Exhibitions Summer Party.
Chloe and Sameer waved the Quartz flag at the Reigate College Careers Fair to promote our internship programme, and we were thrilled that The Manchester Cleaning Show was shortlisted for Best UK Tradeshow at the AEO Excellence Awards 2024.
