Track Record'ExCeL London is the future for Professional Beauty. The facilities, the space and the ability to split our show into separate sections to reflect visitor interest means we are able to deliver a better show to both exhibitors and visitors. ExCeL London provides more networking opportunities. We have social events taking place on all three nights and the 6 hotels means everybody stays onsite.' Mark Moloney, Managing Director, Trades Exhibitions Ltd 'We were delighted with the move of the London Homebuilding & Renovating Show to ExCeL London. The move allowed us to cater for more visitors and an increase in the number of exhibitors. Importantly the location allowed our visitors direct and easy access to ExCeL London from areas such as Essex, Sussex and Kent.' Nick Noble, Group Event Director, Centaur Exhibitions 'We have been able to develop our show in a superb environment, which reflects the quality of our product. The close proximity to London City Airport has helped boost our international visitor numbers and with 6 on-site hotels we've really got a world- class venue.' James Murray, Exhibition Director, London International Wine & Spirits Fair 'The decision to move The British International Motor Show to London was a massive step for the industry. The aim was to put our show back where it belonged on the international map and I am delighted that this decision has been totally vindicated. We very much look forward to working with IMIE and ExCeL London to build on this success story when we return the venue in 2008.' Christopher Macgowan, Chief Executive, Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders 'We have been able to develop our show in a superb environment, which reflects the quality of our product. The close proximity to London City Airport has helped boost our international visitor numbers and with 6 on-site hotels we've really got a world- class venue.' Peter Ward, Consumer Exhibitions Director, Emap Automotive & Active 'The purpose-built space, with easily accessible facilities available to both exhibitors and attendees alike, will ensure that Summer Fair London will be a fun, content-rich and inspirational show. Plus the large offering of new onsite bars and restaurants; the wonderful dockside setting and the site's close proximity to the creative shops and businesses based in East London, will allow us to incorporate more integrated networking opportunities through our innovative schedule of events. The excellent transport links to the centre of London and easy access to nearby London City Airport, will also be a major factor on why Summer Fair London will instantly capture the attention of an international audience.' Alison Jackson, Managing Director, Emap TPS 'ExCeL London has matured as a venue for both consumer and trade events and now has a number of high profile events taking place there. We feel that it is the right time for us to make a sizeable investment in order to develop our brands further. The ‘spring’ Baby Show is the ideal first event to launch at ExCeL London next year and we are confident that the venue’s superb facilities will be able to withstand the inundation of thousands of pushchairs.' Simon Kimble, Managing Director, Clarion Events 'Moving World Travel Market to ExCeL London was a huge feat for Reed and one that proved hugely successful. We cannot praise the ExCeL London team and their service partners enough for their co-operation from early planning stages right through to the show open days and break-down. They have been a joy to work with and the feedback from our clients on ExCeL London's facilities and customer service has been exceptionally positive.' Fiona Jeffery, Managing Director, World Travel Market 'We are delighted with the show's success. Visitor numbers are up and in a competitive market this is quite a feat. The feedback we have had has been phenomenal.' Sarah Lowe, Exhibitions Director, Brooklands Group 'CMPi chose ExCeL London for Think for many reasons but uppermost were the proximity to major regeneration projects we want to weave in to the event, flexible space that facilitates our ambitious feature content, the ability to bring an international audience via City Airport and the track record the venue now has as a home to high quality B2B events.'
