We reached an incredible milestone by being the runner-up of FIT Show Awards in the Best Creative Shell Scheme Stand and finished in the top 3 in front of all these companies. I was really proud to see our company name in front of 900 people at the Gala Dinner! Everything went beyond our expectations and I can affirm there is a place for our solutions in the UK market."
