Great friendships, professional relationships and often life long memories are to be found with the very people you sit near, eat next to and work with every day. When people [Continue Reading]
Instant Teambuilding Feedback
While it’s wonderful to hear client feedback days or weeks after an event, receiving instant feedback from those in the actual room creates such goodwill and gives us, as facilitators, the opportunity to understand what really worked. We are very lucky to be in a position where every day groups of all sizes smile, applaud [Continue Reading]
Tailoring Events to Clients’ Specific Requirements
I love it when I can get creative with an event and I recently had a great example of this.

End of 2013 Thoughts
With only hours to go before the year is out, I always think it’s important to look back and reflect before we leap into a fresh new start. I’m sure people in many industries are the same, but I know that most people in the corporate events industry give all their energy and focus to each [Continue Reading]
Fat Sam’s Speakeasy Themed Event
Last weekend, we had the opportunity of delivering a special themed evening. Our clients wanted to have a Christmas party with a difference so, after looking at all the options, they decided on a 1920s Fat Sam’s Speakeasy extravaganza. We set about transforming the venue into Fat Sam’s Nightclub. Guests were met at the door by [Continue Reading]
