LEIGH exhibition design and building contractors EGL stole the show last month with a 150-square-meter stand at the recent OPTRA fair at the NEC in Birmingham.

The company used a mix of striking visuals, entertainment and activities that mirrored the image of today's spectacle and lens wearer.

This latest triumph for the Leigh-based company follows a successful five-venue road show for which they produced an interactive exhibition for the European and British National space Agency.
