Testimonials
Workspace Design Show has been a really great experience for us. We actually decided to exhibit quite last minute, and in hindsight it was a fantastic decision. Over the two days we’ve met a great mix of people, including fit-out companies, end users and flooring contractors. It’s been especially valuable to reconnect with familiar faces while also meeting completely new contacts. What stood out most was the relevance of the audience. At many events you meet interesting people who may not necessarily be connected to your business, but here the conversations have been highly relevant and worthwhile. It has been a very positive experience, and we would absolutely love to come back next year. If I had to describe the show in one word, it would be relevant.Neil Booth, European, UK & Middle East Sales Director, Milliken
The past two days at Workspace Design Show have been a very positive experience for us. This was our inaugural year exhibiting, and it has certainly lived up to expectations. The first day was exceptionally busy, while the second day was slightly calmer but still brought some excellent conversations with high-quality clients. It was great to meet new people while also reconnecting with existing contacts, making the overall experience extremely worthwhile. We chose to exhibit this year because I had attended the show previously as a visitor and was always impressed by the quality of the audience and the talks. It felt like the right time for us to be part of the event. If I had to describe the show in a couple of words, I would say exceeding expectations.Luke Richardson, Sales Director, Koenig & Neurath UK
This year’s event has been a particularly special experience for us, as we became the Headline Sponsor of the Workspace Design Awards. In previous years we exhibited at the show, so it’s a real honour to now support the awards in this capacity. The ceremony has been a fantastic evening. Awards play a hugely important role in the industry, recognising the outstanding work being delivered across workplace design. Events themselves are already incredibly valuable, but the addition of awards makes them even more meaningful and relevant, bringing the community together to celebrate innovation, creativity and excellence in today’s workplace environment.Gary Helm, Strategic Partnerships Lead UK, Mute
Over the past two days at Workspace Design Show, we’ve met a large number of architects and designers who are very interested in acoustic solutions for workplaces, as well as sustainable materials. This is exactly the audience we aim to connect with. The show has been an excellent opportunity to build relationships with the design community, both locally and internationally, and to share the story behind our materials. If I had to describe the event in one word, it would be connections.Massimo Gatelli, Head of Material Research, Impact Acoustic
This is our second year exhibiting at Workspace Design Show, and it’s been a fantastic experience. One of the real highlights has been the quality of client interactions we’ve had on the stand. The conversations have been incredibly positive, with many meaningful discussions and potential live projects that we’ll be following up on. The atmosphere of the event has also been excellent. Five years on from the pandemic, it feels like this show has become a real focal point for the industry, bringing people together in a way that feels energising and valuable. If I had to summarise this year’s show in one word, it would be energy — from our clients, from the visitors, and from our team on the stand.Jamie Beighton, Regional Manager – London & South East, Interface
This is our second year exhibiting at Workspace Design Show, and we’re in the same location as last year. The experience has been really positive, with lots of great meetings over the two days. We’ve had the opportunity to reconnect with existing clients while also meeting many new contacts, which has made the event very fruitful for us. What we particularly appreciate about Workspace Design Show is the highly focused audience. The visitors here are all professionals working within the interiors industry, which makes the conversations relevant and meaningful. It has been a very beneficial experience for us and, we hope, for the people we’ve met as well. If we had to describe the show in a few words, we would say intense, fun and playful.Eleanor Jungblad, Export Manager, Savo
Workspace Design Show has been a fantastic couple of days for us. The event has been extremely busy, and we’ve welcomed a steady flow of visitors to our stand. This year, we hosted a mood board contest, which created a lot of engagement with visitors. It was great to see clients interacting directly with our products, exploring colour and texture, and getting involved in the creative process. The show has been a real success for us, with a high level of interaction and energy on the stand. If I had to describe the event in one word, it would be interactive.Carly Graham, Head of Creative Space, Kvadrat
This was our first time exhibiting at Workspace Design Show London, and the experience has been extremely positive. Over the two days, the show has been surprisingly busy, with a strong flow of visitors to our stand. We had many engaging conversations with architects and designers, particularly around the topic of neurodiversity and how workplaces can be designed to better support neurodiverse employees. It was encouraging to see such strong interest in this area. We experienced excellent footfall, primarily from end users as well as architects and designers, which was exactly the audience we hoped to connect with. If I had to describe our experience of the event in one word, it would be engaging.Ben Wheeler, Managing Director, Sedus UK
