one of our suppliers for all crewing, technical crewing and
event staff. When it comes to Production and hosting shows
across the Middle East at times back to back, it is great to

for SES to work with the entire Showforce team.
Barney York - General Manager
As the dust settles once more on the sands of Abu Dhabi I
would like to send my special thanks for all the hard work
the Showforce team put in on the Festival this year. The
professional conduct of the crew and the understanding
of the complications associated with the varying nature of
the festival went far to ensuring the smooth delivery for all
our artists and patrons – international and local alike.
Special thanks to the crew chiefs for leading their teams
with such clarity and good humour. They are a real asset
to the company. I look forward to working with the team in
the future and repeating the success next year.
Nigel Mousley - Production Manager
Showforce have provided Yas Marina Circuit with
exceptionally hard working and reliable local staff,
supervisors and logistics support for over 12 months. The
team provides invaluable support for the delivery of over
200 events per annum including the Formula 1 Etihad
Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
I would happily recommend Ian and the entire team for
any event or venue no matter the size or scale.
Mark Lynch - Operations Director
We mostly enjoyed your professionalism, positive spirit,
cooperation, punctuality in cooperating with us. We will
definitely work with you again, and I will, personally, make
