2024; the year ESS turns 15, founder Lianne celebrates 30 years in exhibitions and also the year ESS was shortlisted in the Service Supplier of the Year category at the prestigious AEO Awards. On 14th June the industry got together to celebrate, and the ESS team took a rare and well earned day off to enjoy the festivities!

Securing a place on the AEO Execllence Awards shortlist is no small task. The application process was extensive, requiring in-depth case studies, written and video testimonials from clients, facts and figures demonstrating impact and much more. Thankfully, ESS has incredible clients who were hugely supportive and provided brilliant insights into the value that ESS adds to the events they support.

Lianne and Michaela were proud to host Clarion Gaming, Brintex, The OpsNest, Motorcycle Live, Teem Services and The Lead Out Train on the day, where over 1,200 guests enjoyed music, magic and the hilarious Dara O'Briain presenting the awards. Huge congratulations to all of the nominees and winners. The AEO Awards really are a great celebration of our wonderful, crazy industry! Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
