Noble Trade

Noble Trade, a plumbing supply wholesaler, approached Croce Consulting to plan their Grand Opening/Tradeshow for one of their new locations in St. Catharines, Ontario. Forty suppliers/vendors were invited to showcase their products as part of the Grand Opening. Given that it was a Grand Opening of the establishment and it was in Noble Trade's warehouse, we decided to use the products that Noble Trade sells and incorporate them into the food and bar displays. We also used the burgundy and gold theme colours as they are the Noble Trades signature colours used in their logo and branding.

Brian Pol, Manager of Noble Trade commented “We couldn't have pulled it off without your expertise.”
