Agility Fairs and Events double win at prestigious industry awards
Agility Fairs & Events landed two prestigious International Exhibition Logistics Associates (IELA) awards for Best Export Agent and Best Site Agent at a glittering ceremony in Melbourne, Australia.
Agility Fairs and Events UK office picked up the Best Export Agent while the Best Site Agent was awarded to Agility Fairs & Events USA. The France office picked up the runner up prize in the Best Export Agent category.
David Richards, Managing Director of Agility F&E UK said: “We are thrilled to have been honored by our peers and competitors once again and in two very competitive categories. I have to thank the UK team and the wider Agility F&E team around the world for helping to win this award.”
IELA is an organization of the leading global Fairs and Events companies with a strict entry criteria and high professional standards for members.
The IELA awards were established to allow IELA companies to survey the service quality of other IELA agents. The IELA Best Site and Export Agent Awards are unique in the mode of voting where members of the organization, many competitors themselves, decide on the winners. This makes the awards even more coveted as each company is then rated through a points system based on the quality of services provided during the year.
The IELA organization was formed to establish standards of performance for contractors involved in the physical movement of material to and from an exhibition site, as well as for contractors providing customs clearance, lifting, handling, trucking and storage services on-site.
Margaret Churchill, Vice President, Agility Fairs & Events, USA commented: “This is a highly prestigious award and Agility F&E is delighted to have been recognized for industry excellence by IELA.”
Agility’s Thailand office previously won the award three years in a row from 2003 to 2005 and the Singapore office picked up the award in 2002. The Malaysian office picked up the Best On-Site Agent award in 2007.
