THE INDUSTRY SPEAKS "The staff members at George E. Fern are more than simply an extension of my team, they are truly integral members of my team. Beyond taking the time to get to know us and our business, they are creative thinkers and great problem solvers. No matter what idea we toss their way, they bring it to life. Because of their skill and attention to detail, I never worry about the show floor coming together. I can instead spend my time focusing on other aspects of our event because the staff is proactive in identifying and resolving issues. They go beyond anticipating our needs. They understand what should be done to make the show its very best." “While at the expo, I had the opportunity to experience first hand how your company’s staff operates. I do not recall ever receiving such astounding customer service from any other company I’ve dealt with in my 15 or so years of doing business. From beginning to end, I found every member of your team to be gracious, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable. Among hundreds of exhibitors, I never saw a line or experienced a single delay in processing. Even special problems were dealt with swiftly and effortlessly. From the heads of staff to the forklift operators, I was truly awestruck by the level of service and efficiency of operation within your organization. What started out as one of the most worrisome aspects of my exhibit experience had suddenly become my most trouble-free and positive experience.” “[Your employees] skill sets and their overall knowledge of show operations made a difference in making a vendor happy and aided in the success of the promoter’s show. My compliment is for the attitude and eagerness to help along with their professionalism with performing the duty. Workers like this make all of our worlds not only successful but an enjoyable place. I am impressed that George Fern Co. has the quality of workers like [these two men]. They seem to be well-organized and take their work seriously. Their sense of responsibility will no doubt serve them well in both their professionally and personal life.” “I’m writing today to tell you that even my high expectations [of the George Fern Company] were exceeded. I cannot say that I am surprised by the service and attention to detail that was exhibited. I was struggling to carry heavy items from my car on move-in day. [A Fern employee] offered to help me, insisting that his help was part of the George Fern Company’s service. I certainly didn’t expect a Fern employee to help me with this type of thing, but it was very helpful and much appreciated. This level of customer service is not found often.” “The entire George Fern Company staff did a great job and your responsiveness and attention to detail made things so much easier for me and my team.” “On behalf of the NCAA, we would like to thank you for the time and energy you put into the planning and execution of the NCAA Centennial Convention.
