Showlite has reached the final shortlist for Most Influential Company, an award nominated and voted for by AEO Members, which in 2018 recognises a company that has been most influential in the last 25 years. Showlite is one of seven companies nominated, and the sole supplier on the shortlist which also includes Blenheim, Reed Exhibitions, Clarion Events and Montgomery.

Showlite has also been nominated for Non-Technology Service Supplier, an award which recognises a company that has delivered a high quality, reliable, value added service that has gone an extra mile and surpassed clients’ expectations. Showlite joins a shortlist which includes Freeman, GES and Thorns Group.

Heralding the awards, which will be decided at a ceremony taking place on June 15th at London’s Park Lane Grosvenor House Hotel, Showlite Managing Director, Paul Slaney said: “The AEO Excellence Awards are one of the highlights of the year and I am very proud that we are finalists. It is an honour to be recognised as one of the most influential companies of the last 25 years and especially rewarding as we celebrated 25 years of Showlite last year.

Slaney added: “We have had a winning first quarter to date adding over 30 new events to the portfolio as well as launching Evolve, our new department focused on innovative stand packages, features and custom build. Over the last 24 months we have invested in people and infrastructure to support our growth plans and we have been incredibly successful seeing a 400% increase in business whilst still maintaining our core values of delivering personal service, high levels of care and attention to detail.”
