New product launches, dazzling design, a classy coffee bar, sketch video, touchscreen table and enthusiastic staff all combined to earn Liniar the prestigious award for the Best Stand Over 80m² at the 2016 FIT Show.

Chris Armes, Sue Davenport and Helen Noble, all integral to the design and organisation of Liniar’s exhibition presence, ascended to the stage to accept the trophy.

“It was great that all the hard work that everyone has put in to every aspect of our stand has been recognised,” said Chris. “It makes it all worthwhile.”

The feedback from the competition judges highlighted the key points that secured the decision, among them the use of different, eye catching zones that cleverly incorporated technology and encouraged a good flow of visitors.

One judge commented: “The clean, bright stand incorporated pretty much everything needed; hospitality, game attraction, products etc.  It was inviting and made a great use of space.” Another stated: “Winner! Ticked all the boxes, extremely well presented, products on show, funky café, pleasant staff, competitions, easy to access.”

DoubleGlazingBlogger Jason Grafton-Holt was also suitably impressed: “The Liniar stand is perhaps one of the best throughout the exhibition. An in-built NYC-class coffee shop is a perfect place to recharge and take in their enormous Alumina ali bi-folding door system, on show at 2500mm high and 1200mm wide per sash. The thing is huge! It also looks damn good.”
