WHEN a High Wycombe marketing company was asked to launch a new range of desks they chose an unusual venue for the exhibition a decommissioned naval ship.

Javelin Communications in Desborough Street, High Wycombe, staged a two-day event on board HMS Belfast to publicise the ICON range for Wallis Office Furniture.

The cruiser was recently converted into an events venue by the Imperial War Museum and is moored by Tower Bridge.

Jeff Galatin, of Javelin Communications, explained that exciting venues can help attract the attention of customers, dealers and trade media.
