From tiny acorns… the Ways & Means team has done a lot more than WATCH us grow, they have ENABLED us to grow this event. It’s a pleasure working with the team at Ways & Means. Big Data LDN has grown fast and we have a small core team, so there’s no way we could manage without their support.
Ways & Means work hand in hand with our contractors to deliver turnkey and bespoke packages for our exhibitors, providing front line support to customers from China to Silicon Valley.
Our show is content-led, with several conference theatres and show features packed with complex AV and graphics. Ways & Means orchestrate the wide range of suppliers involved, ensuring that the show is delivered on-brand, on-time and on-budget.

Having worked with the Ways & Means team on countless shows this was an easy task to talk about how professional, organised, forward-thinking and creative they all are. Working with organisers that have a real passion for the shows and ethos behind them is always an enjoyable process and we are continuously challenged as contactors to come up with new and innovative ideas to help make their shows stand out. Never a dull moment we always look forward to working with Ways and Means at every occasion.

We have had the pleasure of working with Ways and Means for many years and on a wide variety of projects. They consistently deliver on professionalism, flexibility and willingness to go above and beyond to get the job done. What makes them really stand out, however, is the positivity and personal touch that is present at every event on which they work. I would not hesitate in recommending them, whatever type or scale of project.
CLIENT: CloserStill Media
WHO: Rob Champman, Group Event Director
Ways & Means worked on the EN Award winning London Vet Show for the last 8 weeks of the Show Cycle and did an outstanding job. Joining a team that close to show, in such a high pressure environment, cannot be easy but they did so with apparent ease. Throughout the project Miriam managed the transition, the event itself and the handover to our internal team with great fluency, with massive praise from both the show team members and key clients.
