Camden renews contract with leading exhibition organiser

17 Oct 2006

Camden Exhibition Services has renewed its long-standing contract with the UK’s leading business-to-business exhibition organiser CMPi.

The contract means that Camden – a division of leading supplier Thorns Group – will provide furniture and exhibition equipment across 24 of CMPi’s industry shows throughout 2007.

CMPi, which is part of United Business Media, organises a number of leading industry exhibitions across a range of business sectors including Thames Gateway, Safety & Health Expo, Outdoor Living, Confex and Publican Live.

Camden’s relationship with CMPi dates back a number of years and has seen the company supply a wide range of both modern and more traditional furniture to organisers. Recently Camden has seen a growing demand among organisers for its ultra-modern Vision range, which was devised in-house by Thorns Group’s own design team.

The bespoke furniture range, which made its debut last year, allows clients to select their own colours and fabrics for their sofas, tables, racks, chairs and seminar benches enabling them to create stunning eye-catching feature areas in their own corporate colours.
Adam Aston, Camden Exhibition Services’ Head of Exhibitions, said: “We’ve established a wonderful working relationship with CMPi and are absolutely thrilled to have the contract renewed for another year. Our appointment helps to reinforce our position as a leading supplier of furniture to the sector.”

CMPi’s Group Operations Director Mirabelle Chatterjee said: “CMPi has worked with Camden and Thorns Group for a number of years now and have found their service and quality of furniture both excellent. The versatility of the Vision range works perfectly for our feature areas and, no matter how late we put in extra orders, they always manage to deliver before the show opens.”
She added: “CMPi is very much looking forward to working with the Camden and Thorns teams again on all of our shows throughout 2007.”
