"We feel great pride when our clients win awards for projects we've contributed to," said Mark Johnson, managing director of Stage One. He added: "It is of vital importance to Stage One's team of dedicated professionals that excellent working partnerships are forged with our clients and the direct result of this can be seen in the quality of the work we then produce."
Event Magazine's annual awards were announced recently, with Stage One being a key supplier to four Gold Award winners and the two winners of the special Event Awards for 'Live Event Activity' and 'Exhibition Activity'. Stage One clients Jack Morton Worldwide and TRO, were the recipients of these particular awards, with Jack Morton Worldwide winning Gold Awards for 'Most Effective Event Activity - Automotive - Live Event' (for Toyota European Retailers Meeting) and 'Best Outdoor/Public Event' (for Athens Olympics), plus 'The Event Award: Live Event Activity' (also Athens Olympics).
TRO won Gold Awards for 'Best Exhibition Feature Area' and 'Most Effective Event Activity - Automotive - Exhibition,' plus 'The Event Award: Exhibition Activity,' all for Mini UK. TRO received further awards for Mini UK at the Brand Experience Awards earlier this year, for the 'Best Theatre Performance' and only last week at the Marketing Brand Design Awards, in the 'Automotive' and 'Brand Experience' categories.
PCI Fitch, another important Stage One client, also won a major award this year for a job on which Stage One was a key supplier. At the 2005 International Visual and Communication Awards, they won a Silver Award for 'Best Live Event' for their Pan European Opel/Vauxhall Astra & Tigra Dealer & Fleet Launch. "At Stage One we are committed to achieving top quality end results for our clients and we're looking forward to playing a key role in more successful projects through 2006," said Mark Johnson.
