Good morning Jimmy – and thank you so much!My sign has arrived and it is just what I had wanted.

I am very impressed with the job done by your team at The Portables and by the fact that even with the limited time line I had the work was done well and not only was it on time, but it arrived a day early. Well done!

Thank you to The Portables for their excellent customer service which included product education, professional advice, and constant communication. We received the best product and, more importantly, we received the best value because of the intangible extras the Portables is noted for. The Portables committed to product and service excellence the moment we entered their place of business and we know t his great, friendly, and helpful service will continue long after our display is showcased across the country.

Water Ski and Wakeboard Canada is proud to have chosen The Portables to assist our organization in meeting our trade show goals and we recommend forming a business relationship with The Portables to anyone.

Thanks Nadine, and Stéphane.  With your marketing/trade show experience & knowledge and his design wizardry, you guys make a dream team.  I put the stand up at the office (I even gave a lesson) with no problem at all.  And it looks great!  Everyone is impressed.

Xclamation Marketing would like to thank all members of the Xibita – The Portables team for such great work on the Kimberly-Clark 2009 booths. Your team has proven to be creative, reliable, quick and professional. Although deadlines were very difficult to meet, we were able to deliver an impressive product which evoked many positive comments as well as our clients' satisfaction. Kimberly-Clark is very happy with their new booth, the changes brought to their second existing booth and the installation and dismantling services at the past baby
shows in Toronto and Montreal.

Please forward our profound appreciation for all the extra time and effort that has been put into this project along with our congratulations for a job well done.

I just wanted to thank you and Carmen for helping us through the “lost” banner dilemma recently. Carmen went out of her way to ensure that we would not be without them for the Vancouver Golf & Outdoors Show at BC Place.  She actually went to the trouble of bringing them to trade show at BC Place and setting up the three banners in our booth. This was especially important since we would have looked rather sparse in our booth without them! They looked fantastic by the way!

I wanted to let you know that we appreciate the help and support with this and thank you for the high level of customer service.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your amazing support, and extreme customer service. Not only during the selection of our booth, but at our first trade show we were nervous about putting the booth together and voila you showed up to help us put it up and even take it down.

As a business owner I have so many things that weigh me down and at trade shows there is so much to worry about, the most important being the booth itself. Your attention to detail and customer satisfaction more than exceeds clients’ expectations, for that Jimmy The Trade Show Guy will always be at the top of my list of people to call if anyone ever needs your services.

Our booth is a show stopper! I lost count of the number of people that commented on how amazing everything looked. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

In all the companies I deal with, and there are many, the care, attention to detail and service we have been provide of the team at The Portables in nothing short of first class. Yes, I am a definite critic of other business operations and products I see and expect the same in return. However, The Portables is a clear standout in my opinion and you all should be proud of yourselves for being "Best in Class". You are truly the leaders many others are aspiring to simulate, which is not likely to happen based on what I see.

Just a short note to let you know how much we appreciated the wonderful service we received from you firm most recently with the production of Hazardous Materials Review Information commission's zap banners.

We are delighted with these new banners and most importantly with the rapid delivery of our products. These banners were to be unveiled at one of our events where stakeholders and employees would have the opportunity to see them and we appreciated all of your employees' efforts to make it happen. We are also getting our exhibiting display panels recreated soon by your company.

Please relay our special thanks to your team, namely Stuart, Pat and Jason for their help and courteous service. Daniele Goulet from my office was very pleased with their cooperation and understanding as we were all working under very tight deadlines.

Thank you again, with your employees' professional collaboration, our event was complete with the presentation of our new banners.

I wanted to take the time on behalf of Weir-Jones to thank Jimmy Grey and the entire Portables team for a fantastic job on the Water Quality Monitor trade show display. The deadline was very short and fortunately we were able to pull together as a team and get the job done and develop an excellent display.

The trade show for us represented the culmination of 6 years of engineering work and marked the entry into a new market, which heightened the importance of the event. Needless to say the booth looked amazing and the response far exceeded what we had hoped. Thank you very much indeed and we look forward to working together on future projects!

Hi Brian, thank you so much for your help. This has been a wonderful experience, the booth looks great, and the service I received from everyone was excellent. I appreciated you coming to the office to teach me how to set up, it made a huge difference. The unit itself is easy to assemble and is very strong.

Mary-Ann Makuch of the Portables is an outstanding trainer. Period. She came to our office, Berteig Consulting Inc., and gave an hour and half boothmanship training to our team. This was in preparation for our company being a sponsor on Agile 2008 conference in Toronto from August 4-8.

She was professional, kind, and extremely joyful. It was a very impactful training. She kept out attention,gave us many tips, and started us on a path to get much more out of our upcoming conference then we had initially imagined.

Mary-Ann showed me how to present material in a way that is easy to digest and allows for much discussion and learning. Our company focuses on consulting, training and coaching, so when someone else performs to such a high level of professionalism, such as Mary-Ann, we take notice.

If anybody is planning on attending a trade show, or business conference and would like to get the most out of the experience please contact Mary-Ann at the Portables. She will walk you through how to function at a booth, the process of talking to attendees, how to engage them, and even how to disengage them. With Mary-Ann’s direction we stood out at the conference and were warmly welcomed by countless attendees who had very positive experiences with us.

This has been an invaluable service for our company. Please contact me if you would like to know how her presentation and service help our company. Thank you so much.

I just want to say a big THANK YOU for your work with Baywest. Laura and I attended their staff launch on Friday and there was a big buzz for their marketing elements.

The professionalism and attention to detail on the construction signs and all other design elements went over very well. Even under tight deadlines, you really delivered, and that means a lot to us.

Thanks for making us look good and thanks even more for making our client feel like we over-delivered. It’s a huge relief to work with people that strive for a high standard of excellence.

I recently had the opportunity to work with your organization, and I wanted to share the
positive experience I had with the team in the Toronto office.

In investigating exhibits, I set up initial meetings with Donna Galbraith from your
organization , and a representative from Nimlok. My experience with Donna is the main
reason I selected The Portables to supply our exhibit. Donna took time to identify my
specific needs, and most importantly provided honest feedback regarding our design.
The entire experience was very educational, and helped me recognize the need to rethink
our strategy, and re-design our exhibit. Without the help of Donna I believe we
would have made some crucial errors with our exhibit show strategy and design. The
advice and solution that Donna provided made it an easy choice in deciding to work with
your company, over your competitors.

The positive experience continued when I worked with your design department,
specifically Duda Trickovic. She was extremely patient and accommodating with my
requests. She also provided helpful advice regarding our design, and did her very best
to ensure we were completely satisfied before our exhibit went to print.

I am completely in love with the final exhibit product The Portables supplied. I look
forward to future dealings with your organization, and will be recommending your
services as the opportunities arise.

Your people did an excellent job. The graphics are bright and eye catching and I really like the glossy finish. Paul Leader who is the person who will be using this booth is also very pleased. I am sure that he will put it to good use. I will follow-up with the other agent that I mentioned is also interested in a booth and see if he is ready to go ahead. Once again thanks for the great service.

On behalf of all the staff at Western Canadian Coal, I wanted to thank you for the tireless effort you put in to make sure that we were able to meet a tight deadline for an upcoming trade show.

Everyone here was absolutely astounded at your level of professionalism and customer service as you went far and beyond the call of duty to help us in a time of crisis! You exceeded our expectations, and we cannot thank you enough.

Meghan not only closed the deal on a new display but went the extra mile on our behalf. We weren't sure exactly what we wanted or how it would look. Meghan took the lead and showed us several displays at your showroom in Richmond and she made suggestions on how the final product would look. She then came to our office in Nanaimo and put on an excellent presentation with our senior management team and answered all the questions put to her. Additionally, she followed up with several emails and phone calls. We decided to place an order for two displays from the Portables.

Meghan worked with myself and your graphic artist (who did an outstanding job) to come up with a design that is both professional and also allows us to separate the display into two smaller displays that still looks as good as when the two are joined together.

I can tell you that this past week we attended the Truck Loggers Convention in Vancouver and we received rave reviews on our display, both from our own team and more importantly, our customers. The display was on time and on budget. I am looking forward to our next shows in
Eugene Oregon and Australia to show off the new Madill display.

Congratulations to you, your team and especially to Meghan on a job well done.

Continued success,

We at Konica Minolta were very impressed with all aspects in dealing with you and the Portables. From our initial meeting where you took the time to understand our needs and requirements to the presentation and proposal of the new structure, your expertise, support and enthusiasm were extremely commendable.

Not only did we receive many compliments about our new exhibit at Graphics Canada, but the pride that emanated from our own employees based on our representation at the show from the new booth was enlightening.

I certainly would not hesitate to recommend you and the team at the Portables to produce a trade show exhibit for any organization.

With best regards,

Director, Product Planning & Marketing Development
