Melville Middle East Exhibition Services, a GES Worldwide Network company, announced their completion of exhibition services to Middle East Communications & Forums (MECOM Forums), a Clarion Events Partner, for the Fashion Arabia, Shoe & Leather Middle East, and Optical Middle East shows, all at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).
The appointment was for the full range of services, including electrical, standfitting, furniture, floorcoverings, graphics, floorplanning, custom design and build as well as feature areas.
MECOM Forums’ CEO Geoff Dickinson comments, “The design and overall construction quality of the shows were excellent. They really set the bar for the future of Middle East events and exhibitions. Melville Middle East had an outstanding team in place to execute this challenging project and they really delivered. Throughout the show builds, their team focused on serving the exhibitors’ needs as well as the physical production of the shows. During my entire career working in the Middle East, I’ve never seen a team approach builds in such an organised way.”
MECOM Forums’ Operations Director Julie Allen adds, “The Melville Middle East team’s approach to the production of the shows was particularly well thought out. After the first day of build, we were sufficiently ahead of the game, which allowed us to focus on other issues. Melville’s quality of shell scheme and furniture stock is also first rate.”
Melville’s Chief Operating Officer Jason Popp says, “We are proud of this key milestone for Melville Middle East. The shows were serviced out of both our Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices and were supported by key Melville and GES staff, providing our clients with a combination of local knowledge and global expertise. MECOM Forums was an outstanding partner throughout, and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
