DSEI 2007 proved to be a particularly successful event for us and enhanced our position as the UK’s leading exhibition freight service provider to the Defence and Aerospace Industries.

This position has been maintained by our ongoing commitment to the industry and determination to provide the highest level of service, whilst constantly striving to add value by working closely with the customer to become an important and integral part of their overall event planning team.

At DSEI, Premier Showfreight Ltd handled a very large volume of freight, including some highly sensitive and specialised equipment, within tight time constraints. Every single delivery, undertaken by approximately 35 vehicles, to approximately 80 individual stands, was achieved on or ahead of schedule and within budget.

Every shipment was treated with the same degree of care and attention to detail, from a single box of marketing literature, to a full-scale howitzer.

It is this type of approach that comes from our personnel’s many years experience in the industry which, we believe, sets us apart from our competitors and enhances the level of service that we provide to our customers.
