Testimonials

As the Production Manager of Dubai based Sports & Entertainment Solutions FZ LLC, we contract Showforce as one of our suppliers for all crewing, technical crewing and event staff. When it comes to Production and hosting shows across the Middle East at times back to back, it is great to acquire all our staffing needs through one supplier.

Showforce has always provided us with highly efficient, well trained and reliable professional staff. It is a pleasure for SES to work with the entire Showforce team.

Barney York - General Manager

As the dust settles once more on the sands of Abu Dhabi I would like to send my special thanks for all the hard work the Showforce team put in on the Festival this year. The professional conduct of the crew and the understanding of the complications associated with the varying nature of the festival went far to ensuring the smooth delivery for all our artists and patrons – international and local alike.

Special thanks to the crew chiefs for leading their teams with such clarity and good humour. They are a real asset to the company. I look forward to working with the team in the future and repeating the success next year.

Nigel Mousley - Production Manager

Showforce have provided Yas Marina Circuit with exceptionally hard working and reliable local staff, supervisors and logistics support for over 12 months. The team provides invaluable support for the delivery of over 200 events per annum including the Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

I would happily recommend Ian and the entire team for any event or venue no matter the size or scale.

Mark Lynch - Operations Director

We mostly enjoyed your professionalism, positive spirit, cooperation, punctuality in cooperating with us. We will definitely work with you again, and I will, personally, make sure to recommend you to others, as #1 HR agency in Doha. Looking forward to partner in upcoming events.
