The 2009 Heads of the Valleys Innovation Awards and Marketplace is a high profile event and we needed Exhibition builders that would do the event justice as well as deliver an eye-catching end result in the unusual venue of the Dowlais Engine House. The Stand People exceeded our expectations. The service that the team provides, attention to detail, all round professionalism and excellent ideas – all combined to create a superb backdrop, to the event, and visitor experience. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and look forward to working with Dave and his team in the future. The Stand People are a stand-out business with the personal touch and a pleasure to work with!

HOVIP Programme Manager
