We had organised a ‘Britain in Morocco’ exhibition in the late 80’s which was a great success so much so that four years later the Moroccan’s came to us when they wanted to do a ‘Morocco in Britain’ event of their own.
Dave Stagg of course had pulled the first event together in Casablanca but by 92 he had departed so Peter Calderwood organised the London event for them. It wasn’t going to be a large show but the Morroccan’s wanted a prestigious one to be held in a London hotel that would be open to anyone who cared to visit.
It so turned out this was one of those jobs that showed maximum returns for zilch layout. Peter handled almost the complete job from his office desk. Booking the hotel function room, organising standfitters to sorting out badges, It was all a doddle and to cap it all he sent our office secretary along on the opening day to help conduct the opening ceremony. I tagged along to take a few photos.
However, the best bit came after the event. Peter went to a final meeting in London with our client who was so pleased the way everything had gone that he paid him in cash. luvelly jubbly.
