Fantastic event, all the right companies in one space.

Area Sales Manager, Trelawny SPT

Great experience, great people, well organised and interesting for future business.

Project Buyer - Boskalis

This is a very useful event helping suppliers easily find buyers interested in their products all gathered in one (appealing) location.

Sales Manager - Rexnavi s.r.l.

I participated for the 5th time at MTB Workboats and again this was a perfect event. Well organised and with lots of new suppliers this event is always better than visiting a fair.

Senior Technical Buyer - VLOOT dab

The format of the event was very clever and efficient, offering adequate time for a purchaser to learn enough information for the Suppliers services/products range but also giving the opportunity to liaise with the most interesting Suppliers during the lunch and dinner outings

Purchasing Manager - Assodivers Group

Nice atmosphere, productive meetings and great opportunities for new contacts. I highly recommend Copland Events to any Supplier or Buyer in the industry.

Senior Buyer - Saipem UK

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Copland team and congratulate them on a successful event. It was a fantastic platform to meet and interact with Suppliers and other Procurement or Technical in Charge from other companies. The information and proposed initiatives by Suppliers in this event will greatly help me to achieve organisational objectives.

Lead Buyer - Technip FMC

MTB 2017 was an excellent event, well structured and some good quality Suppliers/Buyers with the networking events being extremely useful. Copland Events put together an excellent MTB and we will definitely attend again.

General Manager - Surewind Marine Ltd

For me, MTB Workboats was new, but we got a positive experience. We have learned a lot, spoke to a lot of people in the market which was very good and the program was well organised. Thanks to Copland Events!

Managing Director - Motrac Hydraulics

This was a very enjoyable experience and also very good for my company. I would highly recommend the MTB Workboats event to local Buyers & Suppliers in the industry.

MTB Workboats proved again to be a strong event for networking and finding new opportunities with unprecedented Buyers who are easily accessible in a relaxed environment.

MTB Workboats is a great event which allows you to make new contacts among Suppliers and Buyers all over the world. The format of the meeting is unique, very effective and productive. I would recommend this event to any company involved in the Oil & Gas Industry. Thank you very much Copland Events!

Senior Buyer - Saipem Ltd

MTB Workboats 2016 was helpful in providing an interesting insight into what has been the most challenging year for the Offshore Industry. The location was extremely beautiful and helped in providing the right balance of business and pleasure.

Procurement Manager - Zakher Marine International Inc.

The MTB events are by far the most effective and efficient way to meet new suppliers and to build up a professional relationship with mutual trust. The organisation is doing great efforts to deliver the highest possible quality to both Buyers and Suppliers.

Senior Technical Buyer - VLOOT Dab

It was a fantastic experience and the company was great with a lot of laughs in and amongst business discussions, would highly recommend it to anyone.

Contracts Manager - British Polar Engines

As it was my first time trying the concept I was very impressed. I would imagine the results from an even larger event would be much greater.

Managing Director - Roaming Expert

Efficient format with lots of contacts taken in a short time.

Director of Passenger Vessels - OCEA

It was very productive use of time, as often these meetings we cannot schedule during shows. I have developed various new useful contacts. It was an excellent format and thank you for positive atmosphere and well organised such a high quality event.

Senior Manager, PT. Sinarmas LDA Maritime

Very well structured event giving enough time for the formal meetings so that you can see many people with also enough breaks for continued informal expanded discussions. Wonderful opportunity to network with Suppliers and indeed other Buyers.

UK SCM Manager, Subsea 7

A perfectly scheduled event which allows you to gain a maximum of contacts in the given time frame. Perfect possibilities for networking in the time between the meetings.

A both cost and time effective way to have many focused meetings in a pleasant atmosphere.

Sales Director, KVH Industries A/S

A tremendous way to establish business relations with prospective Buyers.

If you have not worked this event, then you need to.

It's an excellent platform to meet local, regional and global vendors within our industry.

Vice President - Global Procurement, Otto Marine Limited

Productive, interesting, perfectly organised, in the fine atmosphere.

Engineer, Azerbaijan Caspian Shipping CJSC

Overall, it is very effective and you get to meet a lot of people from around the globe with new products and services, which may not be offered in our region. Very pleased with format.

Operations Manager, Sealink Sdn Bhd

I find this format very interesting and direct.

Sales & Offshore Operations, EMS Seven Seas Spain

Better than expected!

Sales Director, Navis Engineering

A great insight into future business partners that are not necessarily available from the most common types of events that we attend. These events also create the opportunity to directly meet with the most important contacts of our target businesses that can be quite difficult to approach directly.

EMEA Sales Manager, Intellian

Your event brings a unique skill set, creative thinking, relentless attention to detail and the ability to connect many plans to our vendors and partners.

Stores and Procurements Manager, Mubarak Marine LLC

The format of meetings, time intervals and conditions of meetings are perfectly worked and allow quickly and qualitatively to receive necessary information and to establish relations.

Engineer, SOCAR Caspian Sea Oil Fleet

The format is effective. It allows for optimum use of time to engage with suppliers and room to discuss items further during the lunch and dinner opportunities.

Marine Operations Manager, Company Transnet National Ports Authority

A very efficient way to get your business introduced and to get to know each other better in an informal environment.

Regional Manager Offshore, MeteoGroup

A great way to network with professionals in this industry.

MTB Workboats 2012 is absolutely not only enjoyable, and the results are fruitful as well. Time management is well controlled, well planned and well organised.

Yard Manager, Fast Offshore Supply Pte Ltd

First attendance at MTB event and didn’t know what to expect. Found the format to be spot-on as it was an effective use of time. To see suppliers normally would take up weeks of time management.

Operations Manager, Serco Marine Services

Speed dating for business! Discovered a couple of gems in the way of contacts which could lead to expansion of business capabilities.

Effective way to meet a lot of companies in a short amount of time. Well organised and hosted.

Beneficial and informative platform for meeting new vendors and understanding new developments.

The Primary reason for attending MTB Workboats was to meet more Suppliers with more choices. My objectives were fulfilled.

I was sceptical about this one, but the outcome was way over my expectations.
