Leading building materials companies including Haji Hassan Group, Universal Rolling, Al Nosaif Marble, Paramount Doors, Shade Technology and AK Al Moayyed have been shortlisted for the Best Stand Design awards at Gulf Construction Expo 2019.

Gulf Construction Expo is held annually in conjunction with two other major events – the Gulf Property Show and Interiors Expo – thus providing the biggest integrated business-to-business showcase for the construction, interiors and property sectors ever to be staged in the Northern Gulf.

This year’s event kicked off on April 23 at the Bahrain International Exhibition sand Convention Centre under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Bahrain, said the event organiser Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

The criteria for the awards has been set at creativity, brand promotion, investor attraction and functionality for conducting business on the stand, it added.

HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman said: “The exhibitors at Gulf Construction Expo 2019 made the shortlisting task difficult as all of their stands stood out because of their top-class designs and layouts.”

The winner will be chosen by the public who can now vote online through the expo’s website www.gulfconstructionexpo.com, stated Abdulrahman.

 “Since the website provides a visual presentation of each of the nominee’s stand designs, their job becomes easier. Votes can be cast via the linked Facebook poll which will close on September 30,” he added.

Meanwhile, the nominees for the Best Stand Award for the Interiors Expo are: Hempel Paints, Nuzul Construction and Interiors Design, Al Rugaib Furniture, Caparol Paints, Dragon City, Serenity Furniture and Interior Design, Fatima Al Ansari Design & AlRabia AlKhadraa Gardens.
