The Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre
recently acknowledged the first batch of 21 suppliers who have successfully fulfilled the stringent
requirements of the Centre’s Preferred Supplier Programme.
Officiating at the certificate presentation ceremony was Tourism Malaysia’s Deputy Director-General Planning, Encik Amiruddin Abu, in the
presence of the Centre’s key clients, and successful and potential participants of the
programme.
According to Mr Peter Brokenshire, General Manager, Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre, the driving force behind the Centre’s Preferred Supplier
Programme is “our obligation to protect the health and safety of guests, visitors, employees, clients, suppliers and contractors and to minimize
our impact on the environment.
“The Preferred Supplier Programme therefore ensures that all approved suppliers/contractors are equipped with a full working knowledge of the
Centre. Once certified, they have the benefit of either working hand-in-hand with the Centre or, directly with a
client, on any event held at the Centre.
“In addition,”
Mr Brokenshire added, “we believe such a scheme will have a positive spill-over effect and encourage local companies in the
industry to continually enhance and improve their respective products and services, thus lifting quality standards and in turn, making the
industry and Malaysia, more competitive in the international marketplace.”
Opened to all Malaysian companies providing complementary services such as AV, sound, lighting, booth construction, freight forwarding,
interpretation systems, etc. each participant is assessed thoroughly in accordance with the Centre’s requirements, and if successful, gain
approved status in one of six preferred supplier categories.
The first batch of recipients included companies active in freight forwarding, event management and audio-visual products and services as well
as exhibition organisers and contractors.
