“The acquisition of Reception+ is another key offer in a dynamic market, and it supports the targeted E3 Strategy. I'm delighted to welcome Reception+ as a new member of E3, and I am impressed by the strong service orientation and performance, as well as their excellent customer relationships. For ambitious companies, a high-quality and professional receptionist is a highly visible position, and one that represents the company. This also applies to other positions in companies of which Reception+ offers training or provides personnel. Being able to provide competent, experienced and well-trained employees is an important aspect and differentiator for many companies today – especially as we combine quality and scale the this quality for exhibitions, events and environments, which allows us to raise every aspect of our corporate appearance”, said Patrick O. Soschinski, E3 CEO.

The service portfolio covers strategy, design, marketing advice, trade fairs, event management and implementation, as well as numerous multimedia communication services.

Reception+ is ideally positioned and established in the market for this purpose: Over 250 employees are available for assignment to a client company, and can be deployed temporarily or on a long-term basis. Reception+ has been operating with this focus since 1988, and remains a pioneer in this market. Their leading market position is supported by four offices in Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich and Berlin.

“We're pleased and proud that Reception+ will be a meaningful part of E3. We aspire to bring a 5-star hotel-quality concierge service to our business offerings. This attitude has won over companies that understand how important high-quality representation to clients and partners can be. That is why we are proud to be able to count among our references groups such as the European Central Bank, Henkel, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, BCD Travel and Kantar TNS. The integration into E3 opens up contextual and international perspectives – opportunities and challenges that we look forward to”.
