On behalf of Sean Warren:
With our time working for @identityglobal on @cop28uaeofficial at @expocitydubai coming to an end, I would like share my gratitude with the many colleagues, suppliers, partners and friends - both old and new - who helped deliver this incredible event.
Firstly, to @pr3ston897 and Ivana B. who supported me the day I arrived. This picture of us on top of the media @show_block, was taken just before handover, after many long hours and consecutive days onsite.. We welcomed over 400,000 people to COP28, an achievement I'm incredibly proud of. Thank you both.
To the Scenic team, led by: Ian Tregaskis, Thushar Krishnadas and @jamie.thomas.uk. The colossal amount of work achieved by you, in the given time frame, was nothing short of miraculous.
Thanks to Simon Jones and Vince Russell for bringing me onto this project and entrusting me with the delivery of one of the most high profile areas. Along with the Project leadership of Darren J Kerr and Dan Pearce, it was a genuine pleasure to be a part of this team and I look forward to doing so again in future!
Special thanks to all of the suppliers and their PM's that helped us deliver the Metro Plaza and the surrounding structures. Our success on this project is shared with you all:
