Better events, better for the planet

We consider it both a moral and business imperative to place sustainability at the heart of every event we host, at every step of the process there are inherent adverse impacts. Our sustainability programme, Step Change, focuses on three equally significant, interconnected areas of impact: environmental, societal, and economic. 

The whole event was a huge success that everyone thoroughly enjoyed and this was only achieved by all of your efforts and attention to detail both before the event and on the night.
