Testimonials

"This event is always great for socialising, for meeting people in the industry. So, I think it is probably the premier event in the calendar for fit out, for architects and clients and property people. So, it is great to be here, great to win a few awards."

“It’s really good to be in front of all your peers. The ‘Large Fit Out’ category was an extremely tough category; our competition was amazing this year. And the Fit Out of the Year’ has just blown us away, it was amazing to get that with the competition in the room, just spectacular.”

“Really exciting, it’s the who is who of the fit out industry. So many familiar faces and so many people who we’ve never met in person but talk to regularly over the phone and email, and it’s a great opportunity to chat to these people in a social setting. It will raise our profile in the marketplace, and we recently purchased Nora rubber flooring and we want to mark that with some publicity.”
Pat Buckley, Account Manager, Interface, 2019 sponsor

​

“We’ve been supporting this event for four years now and it’s a great night because it allows everybody in the industry to appreciate all the hard work done over the past year and actually recognise the people who have put in those long hours, the long lost weekends, and be able to mingle in a formal way and to enjoy the night and to have a good time.”

Aaron O’Grady, Founder, Vision Creative Studios, 2019 sponsor

“There are companies who we’ve not heard of, there are companies we’ve heard of, there are companies we want to work with and there’s companies we do work with. You send emails every day, hundreds of emails to these guys and you’re just a word at the end of a computer but to see them shake hands and get to know them personally is really good.”

Tony Ptohopoulos, Managing Director, Riverside Group, 2018 sponsor
