Access Group Testimonials

WE ASKED A FEW WELL-RESPECTED COLLEAGUES WE HAVE WORKED WITH TO SAY A FEW WORDS ABOUT US:

Nicole Schareck, VP Communication Strategy & Head of Communication Germany, EADS

"The EADS exhibitions team and I have had the pleasure to work with Clive and Alison for over fifteen years in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. In that time they have consistently proved to be professional and trusted partners. They have an understanding of our products & business which ensures we receive the best opportunities for our marketing focus in the relevant regions. Future clients and partners for Access Group can be assured of the very best in customer service."

Mark Pilling, Publisher, Flightglobal

“For over a decade Flightglobal has worked closely with Clive Richardson and Alison Weller as they developed the Dubai Air Show and related products into world-leading events. They are top-class professionals who form lasting and productive business relationships with a 100% focus on the customer.”

Virginia Kern MBE, Former Chairman Fairs & Exhibitions (F&E)

“Clive’s high-level networking and communications skills, alongside Alison’s outstanding management capabilities, plus her forthright determination to get the job done, make the Access Group a dynamic and winning combination.  If I were seeking to launch a new business or product into the Middle East today I can think of no better, well-connected team with whom to work.”

Caio Mussolini, VP Global Market Development, Head of M.E. Region

"Finmeccanica and its group of companies have worked closely with Clive Richardson and Alison Weller over a number of years in developing the Dubai Airshow as one of the world's leading show pieces. Their professional drive, dedication, networking and flexibility has ensured that we have benefitted greatly over the years. I am sure they will bring the same commitment to the Access Group."

Ali Al Naqbi, Founding Chairman, Middle East Business Aviation Association (MEBAA)

“ Under the leadership of Clive and Alison MEBA has become the 3rd largest Business Aviation Show in the World.  I could not have done it without their management, dedication, vision and contacts. It was a great  pleasure working with both of them."

Alan Peaford MBE, Editor in Chief, Arabian Aerospace & African Aerospace

"I have had the pleasure of working with Clive Richardson and Alison Weller for more than a decade. Through my role as Consultant Editor to flightglobal and latterly as editor in chief of the leading Arabian and African aerospace magazines, I have never failed to be amazed at the people that they know and their capacity to bring people together.

With Clive working in Asia and then the Middle East on the leading aerospace events and Alison with events in Europe and then the MENA region, there is an incredible depth of knowledge and experience.

I am delighted they will continue to be working together on this new venture and I for one will be at the front of queue wishing to extend our working relationship for many years to come."
