5 Jan 2007

Camden Exhibition Services has applauded its many clients for topping the AEO 100 annual chart of the leading UK-based ABC audited exhibitions.

In the consumer exhibition section Camden — a division of Thorns Group — supplies equipment to seven of the top 10 shows in the United Kingdom.
 
Topping the chart is the Daily Mail Ideal Home Show at Earls Court, which attracted around 365,000 visitors to its 2005 event with the Clotheshow Live at NEC Birmingham runner up with over 178,000 visitors. Camden provides furniture to both these prestigious shows and is a key supplier to five other top 10 consumer exhibitions — Schroders London Boat Show (fourth); BBC Good Food Show (fifth); Southampton International Boat Show (seventh); BBC Gardner’s World Live (eigth); and Autumn Ideal Home Show (ninth).
 
In the category for the UK’s top 10 exhibition organisers Camden supplies equipment to the top six companies — dmg world media; Haymarket Exhibitions; BBC Haymarket Exhibitions; National Boat Shows; Clarion Events and Inside Communications.
 
Adam Aston, Camden Exhibition Services’ Head of Exhibitions, said: “We are delighted and very proud to be associated with all the UK’s leading exhibition organisers who stage the biggest shows in the country. It is a real testament to our extensive range of furniture and equipment that we are able to accommodate the top events that cover such an extensive range of industry sectors.  
 
“We have a wealth of knowledge to keep pace with the changing styles and demands of the sector and constantly enhance our range through the introduction of new lines. We even offer very stylish and sophisticated items that can be personally tailored to meet a client’s particular needs and requirements, which continually prove very popular with organisers.
 
“We are looking forward to building even stronger links with the UK’s leading exhibition organisations and top shows throughout 2007.”
 
The AEO 100 poll was commissioned by the Association of Exhibition Organisers and refers to UK-based exhibitions that were organised by the industry group’s members in 2005.
