Please could someone help me decide which is the most appropriate
tag to use with quotes?
The most appropriate tag to use is the <blockquote> element. I would
mark up your content like so:
<blockquote>
<p>LIW 2007 was a great show for Technogym. We showcased an
exciting 7 new products which our customers loved. LIW is a great
event to help us showcase our products and present our latest
solutions to the market!</p>
<p><cite>TECHNOGYM UK LTD</cite></p>
</blockquote>
<q>
The <q> element should be used for "[...] short quotations (inline
content) that don't require paragraph breaks." [1].
<cite>
The cite element (or citation) is used to specify the source of the
quote, and to use it to mark up a quote would be semantically
incorrect. [2]
