They certainly do a great job bringing together operators, contractors and suppliers together. I highly recommend Subsea UK to any SME who is looking to work in this industry.”

"We find Subsea 2012 one of the more enjoyable exhibitions and this year I thought it went particularly well for us, compared to venues in the south. There are big pluses in free parking, ease of access for loading and unloading, and being an "all inclusive" event so no receipts / expenses to sort out. And the food quality was excellent."

"The service provided by Subsea UK provides an excellent forum for companies to access new markets. This works particularly well for SMEs wanting a presence under the umbrella of Subsea UK at a large overseas oil and gas trade exhibition. Any other solution would be costly and the SME overwhelmed by the size of the event. From Aker Solutions' perspective, apart from the annual SubseaUK events (London, Paris and Aberdeen), which are well attended, SubseaUK have brought a series of high level delegations to Aberdeen from China, Brazil and Venezuala. This has offered an excellent and cost effective opportunity to meet with and present to a large goup of potential new clients."
