MARKET FOCUS: Logistics & Travel KB EVENT
www.kbevent.com
Almost twenty years ago, KB Event was established by Stuart McPherson to provide innovative transport solutions. The company and its founder soon became synonymous with problem solving; an ethos which remains at the heart of the business and has earned it the reputation it has today. Refusing to engage in price wars, KB Event’s team remains firm in its determination to provide quality service, staff and equipment. In addition to 24 hour, seven day a week contact and a commitment to the delivery of each event they are involved in, KB aspire to supply the best solution to any transport requirement, even if that ultimately means more effort and less revenue on their part. Experienced on-site teams are available to coordinate larger or complicated transport moves, and extensive worldwide networks ensure that air and sea freight moves are just as hassle-free. From a European stadium to a Doha conference room, Rod Stewart to The Pope, KB loves what it does.
