Sterling Event Group testimonial

Multi-layered valuable event support

Working with Sterling Event Group on NHS ConfedExpo continues to be one of the highlights of my job, as they are the partner that always goes above and beyond, pushes us to be more creative and always deliver an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Their support throughout the entire event process is comprehensive and very reassuring, with both the pre-event planning team and the onsite technicians and crew demonstrating outstanding knowledge of their craft and a deep understanding of how to make our conference come alive in what, at times, can be quite challenging circumstances.

What truly impresses me is Sterling’s ability to anticipate challenges before they arise and provide creative solutions that align perfectly with our ambitions and objectives – translating into flawless delivery and keeping our complex show programme running smoothly across multiple stages.

The value Sterling provides is multi-layered, with collaboration, teamwork, extraordinary production quality, creativity, flexibility and incredibly competitive pricing all combining to always exceed my expectations. They are an extension of our team and the colleagues we all want in our corner. They are responsive, flexible and above all, genuinely invested in the success of the show.

Now in the third year of our partnership, we continue to work with Sterling to innovate and keep the conference feeling fresh, differentiating our show from other traditional events. Sterling is the perfect partner to help us achieve our ambitious goals.

During the tender process, we were looking for a partner who could demonstrate technical delivery, while being sympathetic to the unique dynamics of producing the annual conference for the NHS. Sterling has delivered on every promise made during procurement and all subsequent conversations throughout our work together, making them an invaluable partner for NHS ConfedExpo. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to other event organisers looking for reliability, expertise and exceptional service.
