FSC Global, the export arm of FS Cables exhibited at KIOGE 2006, the premier exhibition in Kazakhstan for Oil and Gas exploration and distribution.
With 600 exhibitors and around 14,000 visitors, there really was something for everyone, from pipelines and valves to drilling rigs and trucks. We were promoting the range of marine and offshore cables we stock.
Kazakhstan is a fascinating place with a predominantly young and female population. Out of town the scenery is spectacular and beautiful with friendly people and mad drivers!
This was the first exhibition we have been to in Kazakhstan and the furthest away from the UK, with the stand having to be packed up and shipped out 6 weeks before the show began.
One interesting experience was the visit to the ambassador residence. The food and drink were excellent but the clincher was the Union Jack toilet seat. It’s good to know we are working as a team to promote Britain!
