Miami nice for RMP Design

A team from Hull based RMP Design & Marketing celebrated a triple milestone whilst in the USA last week.

Firstly, the company, which delivers design and marketing solutions to local, national and international clients, was marking its 17th birthday.

In Florida the company reached a second milestone with the completion of its 12th consecutive year of exhibition stand design and build projects at the prestigious Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention held 16th–19th March at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Now in its 25th year, nearly 1,000 exhibitors from 117 countries the event attracts more than 11,000 trade attendees.

This in turn heralded the third reason for celebration as the 2009 Miami event was the 100th overseas exhibition design & build project completed by RMP Design.

Managing Director Charles Milner said “It’s great to reach our century in this sector as foreign exhibition projects represent an important part of our services to both our UK and non-UK clients. However, in addition to being actually on-the-spot at these major turn-key projects, we also design and produce graphics and support services where the client takes care of the stand. Already this year we have fulfilled this function for events in Cyprus, Turkey, Nigeria and the north of Norway.”

“In the present economic climate we are fortunate that having developed our international activities over the years, we are now benefitting from the higher value offered by sterling. With the ease of modern communications where you are based is of less interest than the value you can offer and that can now make UK companies even more attractive. We are already committed to build projects during the rest of 2009 in Busan in Korea, Houston, Oslo and Shanghai plus Aberdeen and London, with the diary for 2010 already filling up.”

Mr Milner went on to say “Well over 20% of our business is either for export or for non-UK companies, where the design and production of multi-language sales, technical and marketing material is one of our strengths. Very early in our history we recognised the importance of developing an understanding of the special requirements of marketing overseas as it became apparent the future was in globalisation. We believe our knowledge and experience is unique to the Hull area and has been a valuable asset in equipping RMP Design to compete successfully in a broader based arena”.
