Shama Hussain, Director said: "Fingerprint Events is honoured to be awarded the contract for the Conservative Party events. We are delighted to be working for David Cameron’s party. This is such an exciting time to be involved in politics anyway and even more so from an events perspective. We are looking at working with the party very closely, to ensure that all its needs are met, and the events that we carry out will be at the forefront of the political calendar over the next few years."
Robert Ashman, Head of Conference at the Conservatives said: "2006 has been a turning point for the Party in many ways - leadership, polls and even a new logo and this momentum is set to continue. The change in events agency is to inject creativity, new practices and efficiency to the Party’s live events. We are delighted with the selection and look forward to working with the team at Fingerprint."
Fingerprint Events has taken on responsibility for the forthcoming Spring Forum event, in Nottingham in March 2007.
