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.
We have 2 more shows coming up and I will be using your service once again.
Thanks so much

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,
VP Marketing

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.
Looking forward to working with you again soon.

Dear Mr. Doug Walden,
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.

Hello John,
I'd like to follow up our phone conversation of about one month ago.
As you know Tomographix IP Ltd. ordered a tension fabric display from The Portables.
I'm happy to inform you that we received a very positive response to our display at the SNM (Society of Nuclear Medicine) 2008 Annual Meeting this past June in New Orleans including some of the largest exhibitors such as Phillips. The display itself was easy to set up and tear down.
Thanks again for getting it done under a tight schedule.

Hi John,
I have just returned from Houston and have had my first look at our new booth. 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.

Dear Meghan,
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.
I will certainly come to Portables for all our future trade show needs and will highly recommend you to colleagues and companies alike.
Once again, thank you so much.

| Good morning Doug,
My name is Jim Cameron and I work for Madill Equipment. We design and
manufacture heavy duty logging equipment for worldwide distribution.
Rich Enners our President and CEO recently decided we needed to improve
our image at various logging equipment trade shows by purchasing a
portable display. I contacted Meghan Cox to see if your company would be
able to supply us with a new display that would represent the quality
that Madill puts into our own products
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,
Madill Equipment

Dear John,
I am writing this letter to thank you and your organization for producing our fabulous, custom new booth for us.
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 |

Dear Doug,
I wanted to write a quick note to let you know our company, DAC Group, was extremely pleased with the customer service we received from one of your sales representatives, Ryan Danziger. I contacted Ryan when we were looking for a display booth back in November. We were under a tight deadline and Ryan quickly helped me to identify a booth size and style that would best fit our needs. He also secured us a competitive rate, which was an important factor in our decision. Once the booth arrived, Ryan came to our office to bring us through a “trial run” with the booth.
It was a very positive experience and I will be sure to pass along my recommendation for The Portables if I come across anyone looking for a booth in future.
Thanks,
Account Director, DAC Group

"The Portables originally produced our exhibit display over ten years
ago. Recently we went back for an update by changing our display
graphics. It has been nothing short of amazing. Our fresh new look is a
huge step into the present and future. PMDi recently made the mistake of
printing some graphics at another firm with disastrous results. Never
again. The staff at the Portables was outstanding from start to finish.
They performed routine maintenance on our display after nearly a decade
based on their lifetime guarantee, the design staff offered ideas on how
to improve our graphics, and the sales representative was involved in
every step along the way. Simply put, the Portables is the only place we
will ever consider for any high-end graphical and exhibition material
from now on. Thanks."

The following is to commend you and your team for the fantastic job you did when it was time for us to upgrade our display booth and update our corporate image.
We came to you with a need to buy a booth but you contributed to develop an image for the next few year. Your professionalism and your efficiency to understand our needs were highly impressive.
You can certainly count on us for references as well as recommending your company to industry colleagues and associates, which has already begun at our annual lumber industry convention held in Montreal in February. The compliments were plentiful.
Once again, thank you for your wonderful work and we look forward to our next upgrade.

We look forward to our continued partnership with you into the future.

It's been such a pleasure to get to know and work with them recently.
Their good hearted attention to detail and genuine concern for helping
me set up / tear down / learn the stand in all its elements has really gone beyond the call of duty and I just can't say enough about them.
It's tough for me to think of ways to recognize them as a client, except to acknowledge their wonderful customer service and down to earth good humor at getting a job well done.
You really have two wonderful employees.

| Jane, The gentlemen just came to drop off the display. Just wanted to let you know that it has been an absolute pleasure working with Portables this year. The display was up early on Thursday, so we loaded the floor and were able to catch a few extra zz's before heading down on Friday morning. The supplies were shipped nicely and timely, and all the staff were really pleasant and helpful throughout the weekend.
Our success is always thanks to a team of people involved and we're so glad to have The Portables on the University of Guelph-Humber team. Please pass on sincere thanks to all members of your crew at The Portables--especially those involved in the setting up, loading, and return of our display.

Dianne, on behalf of the entire sales team at Kronos, I would like to thank you for delivering a great workshop at our sales meeting yesterday. I heard later that when the team saw the workshop topic on the agenda that many were skeptical and questioned its value. As you heard for yourself in the wrap up, all were pleasantly surprised and I continued to receive positive comments after the session ended on how much they had learned. The workshop was extremely informative, interactive, and offered tips that I know will go a long way in helping us be better prepared for future trade shows we do. And everyone had fun.
Once again, Dianne, thank you again for helping make our sales meeting such a success.

The exhibit was very well received by our colleagues, peers and board members. Given the aggressive time line of this project, I certainly appreciate the strong project management, responsiveness to communications and being on-time and under-budget

The Trade Show went great--lots of very positive comments on the booth--thank you for all your follow up and for finding us that black carpet. It pulled the booth together nicely!!
The only thing that would have been better, would have been to set it up a little earlier so we could get in to decorate...we were there a little late on Friday, but we managed.
But I have to say, that everyone I talked to at Portables was a pleasure to deal with!
Thanks for everything. Great Job!

Congratulations, everyone!
I got the booth all set up in my dining room! What a great job!!!!
Except for one magnetic strip not sticking right away everything went smoothly. We switched the lazy strip with one from another location and then it worked like a charm. A slight polarity issue between the two magnets.
Do you keep the information on file in case anything should happen to a single panel for replacement purposes? It would be great if you did.
Anyway, my family and I are very impressed with the finished product --- you might say "I am beside myself!" - literally!
Extend my thanks to everyone for a job well done and go ahead with the balance of payment.
By the way, Grant, you may need to be ready for lots of interest at the Vancouver RE/MAX conference in February when my colleagues see it. See you there!

Just a quick note to let you know the booth was a hit last week in Las Vegas. We received very nice comments from our neighbours and existing clients. I thought it natural to extend their gratitude onto the people who could make this possible. Set-up was easy and predictable…take down…well let’s just say it was fast and efficient.
Although this was a first experience for Biodroga, it doesn’t seem like it’ll be the last.
Now I’m swamped with work thanks to you two :)
