Agility Fairs & Events Win Multiple Awards

MELBOURNE, Australia, - Agility Fairs & Events won two prestigious International Exhibition Logistics Associates (IELA) awards for Best Site Agent and Best Export Agent at a ceremony here.

Agility Fairs and Events USA was awarded the Best Site Agent while the United Kingdom office picked up the Best Export Agent. Agility Fairs & Events’ France office won the runner-up prize in the Best Export Agent category.

IELA, an organization of the leading global Fairs and Events companies, established the awards to allow IELA companies to survey the service quality of other IELA agents. The IELA Best Site and Export Agent Awards are unique in that voting members select the winners. The winners are rated through a points system based on the quality of services provided during the year.
“This is a highly prestigious award and Agility F&E is delighted to have been recognized for industry excellence by IELA,” said Margaret Churchill, Vice President, Agility Fairs & Events, USA.

In the United Kingdom, Agility’s Managing Director of Fairs and Events, David Richards, said he was “thrilled to have been honored by our peers and competitors once again” in these 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,” he added.

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.

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.
