Gillian Kiamil, venue director at Olympia London said, "Blitz|GES's technical services are consistently highly rated by event organisers; they are the leaders in their field for the full range of event support, including large scale live events, conferences and exhibitions, which suits our considerably diverse events portfolio perfectly. We've worked together as a team over the past seven years and look forward to a fruitful partnership for the immediate future under the new banner of Blitz|GES."
The contract, which commenced on 1 September 2015, continues the on-site services provided by Blitz|GES to the venue over the past seven years in its former guise as Blitz Communications and now as part of the global, full-service provider for live events GES.
Blitz|GES' sales director, Graham Pope, welcomed the decision, saying, "We knew that we had the technical knowledge and experience to deliver all of Olympia London's technical event services, but the ability to connect this into the wider offering of GES means that we are able to offer a greatly enhanced service to organisers and exhibitors through one, seamless delivery platform.
"As one of five companies vying for this contract we are especially pleased to have been selected, Olympia London is an iconic event venue with a world-class profile and it is the home to some world famous shows. We are thrilled to be a part of the venues continued success."
