Natasha comments: “The Clip team is very easy to work with and took the time to learn about us, understanding what we required and treated us an individual business. The storyboarding and service they provided was first class and the whole approach was professional. “They provided us with a total service from concept design to completion and we are looking forward to working with them again for Lux Live 2015. “Like us Clip is also a family run business and we share the same values of putting the customer first and thinking long-term.” As well as engaging Clip to build their big exhibition stands, Dextra Lighting Group also uses the company on an on-going basis for smaller display stands and other marketing collateral.
