Corporate Events Crystal Curtains for Events

Corporate Events have some spectacular Crystal Curtains for their event productions.

You can’t change the decor of a venue that you are hosting an event at, however; Crystal Curtains are a fantastic new feature in the UK events marketplace and they create a high end look and feel to any stage set in any venue, lifting the overall production values of a given event and enhancing the guest and sponsor experience at the event.

Create a dramatic look for your Awards show production, Gala dinner production, Product launch, sales and marketing conference or Park Lane awards. Read more about the new Crystal Curtains at the Corporate Events website.

It’s Curtains for Award Shows at Corporate Events

As it’s September, the Awards Show production season is upon the event production industry, and all the way up and down Park Lane, venues are gearing up for a range of industry award and recognition events and Gala dinners.

Its Curtains for Award Shows at Corporate Events
Each year, the challenge is to create something that looks a little different to last years event – something that will entrance the audience and sponsors alike. With this in mind, Corporate Events are pleased and proud to announce the delivery of increased stock levels of Crystal Curtains, just in form our American partner.

Crystal Curtains are a fantastic new feature in the UK events marketplace and they create a high end look and feel to any stage set in any venue, lifting the overall production values of a given event and enhancing the guest and sponsor experience at the event.

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy states: “I spend quite a lot of time researching new materials and effects that we can use on our client events and I have to say that the Crystal Curtains have been a real find for Corporate Events. They create such an impact in an event space and audiences seem to like the glamour they bring to a room.”

She continues “When we produce award shows or gala dinners for clients, the desire to do something different – to challenge the expectations of the client and the audience – is a huge driver for us, and Crystal Curtains gives us that excellent platform to deliver on this.”

Corporate Events Technical Manager Adam Harris adds: “Crystal Curtains are great. I really love them. The way they work in the event space, they way they hold and refract lighting is amazing. The fact that you can hang them in front of a solid colour or star cloth means that they have that extra depth and dimension that you just don’t get from anything else. For an award show production, I can’t think of a better innovation at this price point.”

Christmas Comes Early at Corporate Events

Summer may have only just finished, however planning for Christmas has been underway for a number of clients and Corporate Events are pleased to have been awarded a series of high profile Christmas celebration events for a range of clients.

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy comments “Over the last few months we have been involved with a series of interesting and exciting pitches with clients who are looking for something more than the standard run-of-the mill Christmas party celebration.”

She continues “Our approach is quite straightforward – there are just loads of people out there doing the same old thing at Christmas and the whole scene is a bit lazy and tired. We consider that if we are going to be in that space we have to offer something unique, boutique and engaging.”

Christmas Comes Early at Corporate Events
This approach has paid dividends for Corporate Events, with two big client wins in just the last two weeks. Both clients expressed a desire to get away from the norm and reward their employee’s hard work with a unique event.

Michelle continues: “Corporate Events were up against some pretty big agencies, so for us to secure these events proves real strength in our creative thinking process and how we engage with the emotion and personality of our clients’ brand.”

Managing Director at Corporate Events Andy Ashley concludes: “The whole Christmas party event scene is a little outside of our traditional portfolio of excellence; however we have seen that we can add real value back to our clients in this arena.

“Having seen what works in some of the biggest venues in Europe at some of the big gala dinner productions and awards shows we produce gives us a real insight into what we can offer to clients for Christmas Party experiences.”

Corporate Events on Target for ISO 9001

Corporate Events are pleased to announce that we are in the final stages for accreditation for the ISO mark of quality.

After more than sixteen years of delivering great conference productions and award shows, the business decided that it was time to benchmark our processes.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley states: “When you run a business that grows and is as successful as Corporate Events has been, it could be easy to become complacent about what you do and how you do it, however I’m constantly aware that we shouldn’t take what we do for granted.”

Corporate Events ISO 9001 Quality Assurance
Andy continues “To take the step of opening ourselves and our processes up for criticism takes some courage, but I’m really pleased that the initial feedback seems very positive, with some of our existing processes exceeding expectations.”

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy picks up the theme: “When we talk to our clients, it’s not all about the event – that’s just the output of the planning and process phase – the real work is done in the pre event proposals, proposition and engagement cycle. It’s almost intangible but it is absolutely vital for the continuing success of our client projects.”

Michelle continues: “Working towards ISO 9001 accreditation will prove to be a real validation to the Corporate Events proposition and – I would hope – will provide competitive advantage to us when new prospect clients look at Corporate Events, seeing that we work to a recognised, ratified and audited standard.”

Managing Director Andy Ashley concludes: “By joining Eventia earlier this year and now by having ISO accreditation by the end of the year will be a real statement of intent – Corporate Events are a serious player on the UK events industry. We employ some of the best people in the business, we’ve got some great clients and we produce outstanding events.”

Corporate Events tell a Tale of Two Jason’s….

Corporate Events has seen a number of high profile guest speakers at our event productions over the years, from well known TV personalities through to comedians and serving Prime Ministers. However it is unusual for us to experience two Jason’s on two consecutive nights, but that’s what will be happening come mid September.

Jason Donovan
On September 12th, Corporate Events will be producing The Baking Industry Awards at London’s Hilton Park Lane, which will be a celebration of 25 years of this great event. To make this an extra special event, Jason Donovan will be hosting this prestigious event.

Corporate Events Account Manager Katie Lewis comments: “I remember watching Jason – and Kylie – on Neighbours all those years ago and I must say it will seem strange to be working with one of my childhood hero’s on stage at an event I’m in charge or producing.”

Katie continues “As with most Park Lane events, working at The Hilton Park Lane is always a special experience, so to mix this with both a 25th anniversary celebration and Jason Donovan – it will be an amazing evening.”

Jason Manford


And as that isn’t enough fun for one week, the very next evening Corporate Events will welcome to the stage the star of the comedy circuit and TV, the hilarious Jason Manford.

Jason will be on stage, hosting this years exclusive Great British Pub Awards, which promises to be an outstanding and exciting evening. Katie Lewis adds “I’m sure that Jason will prove to be a huge hit – he’s such a funny personality and I think he will go down well with the audience at this prestigious evening event.”

Corporate Events Technical Manager Adrian Tolson concludes “Almost every professional host has their own unique requirement in terms of audio production, so this all has to be planned and prepped before we get to site to ensure that their stage time goes without a hitch.”
