values
Sustainable event planning begins at choosing the right location and venue for your event.
Our mission is to advise our clients and partners on sustainable practices. We aim to influence the decision making process when it comes to sourcing venues globally for large-scale events.
As proud partners of event:decision, we are able to offer their carbon footprint reporting services to you, detailing the estimated carbon footprint pre or post event. This is so that you can improve year on year and work towards designing more carbon neutral events in the future.
mission
We cut the noise from venue proposals. It’s all in the detail, yet we keep the details concise.
Do more with less. See us as a member of your team, utilise our years of event management experience and venue knowledge, without paying a penny towards our salary.
We always provide a solution. We thrive on problem solving and being as resourceful as possible.
Transparency is key. We will always be transparent on the commission we earn, turnaround times & our workload capacity.
