USA
Leslie Schaeffer, president of The Textile Care Allied Trades Association (TCATA), presented John Riddle, president and owner of Riddle and Associates, with a plaque and a gift on behalf of all the members of TCATA, many of whom have exhibited at the Clean Show for many years.
“For nearly 40 years, John and his team have done an excellent job in making the Clean Show a success,” said Schaeffer.
“They have produced a professional, well attended show that has created many business opportunities for both exhibitors and attendees. I have heard many comments over the years about the customer-oriented service that Riddle and his team have always provided.”
In accepting the award, John Riddle said: “It has been an honour to have been associated with the Clean Show for so many years, and I thank everyone for the opportunity to have been a part of it. I absolutely could not have accomplished this without all the members of my staff who are, in my opinion, the best in the trade show industry. I have made many friends over the years that I will miss very much.”
