“Maelstrom are so much more than just a
supplier -they are an integral part of our
business, and they show just as much care
and attention as our employees. Their work
ethic is second to none, the customer service
is exceptional, and any problems are usually
resolved before we even notice them. I have
worked with Matt and the team since founding
Raccoon 8 years ago and quite frankly we
couldn’t have done it without them.”
Mike Seaman, CEO, Raccoon Events
“I just wanted to say a massive thank you for everything you have done this week. I can honestly say I have never worked with such a professional, funny, organised and in Georgie’s words “Amazing” team!
Thank you for guiding me through my first show I literally couldn’t have done this without you and hope that you want to do it all again next year with me? Please say yes.
The show has been a great success with only positive comments which is all down to you guys and your hard work.”
Gina Hinde – LOFA
“The Homebuilding & Renovating portfolio
started using Maelstrom in 2018 and it has
been one of the best decisions we’ve ever
made. The team is a joy to work with and
spend our budget as if it was their own
money. The professionalism is second to none and working with a team that has such sound knowledge and strong relationships with the venues we use makes our lives so much easier.
We count the Maelstrom team as part of our HB&R family and it is an absolute pleasure working with them””
Nick Noble, Commercial & Events Director, Future Publishing Ltd
“I’ve heard nothing but good news about how everything went, but most importantly about how professional and supportive you guys were again and I can’t stress how much easier that alone makes it for us to plan and execute this event year on year. Our thanks is also extended to our Georgie and the rest of the team for getting stuck in and helping support/ run the event – again it wouldn’t have been the same without them. My last biggest thanks is for the wonderful reg area and signage! I am so pleased that it not only looked good but served great purpose – all of which wouldn’t have been possible without your input Matt – much appreciated!”
Gemma Mensah, Global Events Operations Manager, The Association of Corporate Treasurers
“Hope you have recovered from the show now (I’m not sure I have yet!)
I planned to write an email to you about how awesome you and the Maelstrom team were at the weekend and pre show, but Jo is far more eloquent than me and has perfectly described my thoughts in her email….
I must have called Anouzka about 100 times over the 3 days and she was simple amazing and dealing calmly with all my queries. You are my hero for dealing with all the dinner changes we threw your way on Saturday night and obviously a huge thank you for everything onsite.
You and your team rock!.”
Nathalie Davies, Event Director, The National Running Show

“When you’re delivering a new launch, or a large established event, the team you have supporting you on site can make all the difference. None more so than in the case of Maelstrom Event Solutions.
I have worked with Matt and his team for many years and they deliver with professionalism, a smile and to the highest standard. They have consistently added value to my events, be it saving money, time or helping us find a better solution. They work in partnership with me and truly feel like part of the team. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough…so much so that with the imminent new launches for 73 Media, they were the first name on the team sheet of suppliers.”
Ed Tranter, Founder, 73 Media
“I didn’t get chance last night, but wanted to say a big thank you for all your hard work on the last week and the last year in regards to the National Show. Its been a real difference since you guys took over our operations to me and the team knowing it’ll all ‘get sorted’!
We’ve had some really lovely comments too on how professional and pleasant you all are from our exhibitors too.
See you at the next one.”
Hellen Roche, Exhibition Sales Director, Homebuilding & Renovating Shows

I also wanted to say a massive thank you to your team for all their help & support too. It all went off without a hitch, and a big part of that is having truly trustworthy and reliable partners like Maelstrom. It was a pleasure to work with Annie, Luke and Georgie, they are wonderful!”

Having you on board has resulted in one of most relaxing event experiences I have ever had!”

“Just want to say a huge thank you from me and the rest of the team to Maelstrom for all your hard work and effort on BAPCO. I heard the event was a success and that BAPCO were really pleased. This wouldn’t have happened without your input and of course your crystal ball!”
Vicki Evans, Exhibitions Operations Manager, MA Exhibitions
“I just wanted to drop you a note to say that, in the 25+ years I have been working in events, you, Georgie & Luke, have to be the best operations team I have ever worked with. Nothing was too much trouble. You dealt with some very unhappy people (not of your own making) admirably and all of you were brilliant to have around. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to anyone, and sincerely hope that I will have the opportunity to work with you again in the near future.”
Hellen Beveridge, Head of Marketing – The WI Fair, Upper Street Events Ltd

I look forward to working with you and your team again at the next show.”
Gina Lindholm, Senior Administrator Sport Development, Royal Yachting Association
“Showcase was the best exhibition we have held – more exhibitors, better stands, more visitors and a better experience for exhibitors and visitors alike. We could not have achieved this without excellent suppliers and you and Andy certainly played a very important part. Wishing you continued success and I hope we will have the opportunity of working together again on the next Showcase event.”
Andrew Chalk, BBSA
Wanted to say a massive thank you for all your support on the show. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you on this and really appreciated all your guidance and experience for all the wonderful bumps the show threw our way. Let me know when you are down our neck of the woods and we’ll hook up for a de-brief and a catch up, and dare I mention it to discuss next year?!
Dan Edwards, Group Operations Director, Mash Media
“Once again thanks a million to you and your team for a fantastic job and for always having a smile on your face despite the pressure and me asking you bloody stupid questions all day long – we really do appreciate it.”
