WHAT WE DID
The Event Company, led by Nicola Christou, assisted in expertly planning the event. Faced with the unforeseen challenge of a train strike prompting a venue change three weeks prior to the event, they seamlessly relocated to The Brewery, ensuring a smooth transition and successful outcome within the timeframe.
The Brewery's versatile spaces were well-suited to meet the dynamic demands of this high-energy away-day. The Porter Tun, with its ample space, hosted the plenary, providing the perfect setting for the company to unveil their vision and objectives for 2024, as well as to feature the guest speaker session. The King George III room served as the catering hub, fuelling the attendees throughout the day and also for the post-event drinks reception. The other spaces - the Sugar Rooms, Queen Charlotte, Smeaton Vaults, and the James Watt - each created ideal spaces for the breakout activities.

A huge thank you to The Brewery for their incredible support in helping me organise this event at such short notice. With our original venue being unable to accommodate us due to a tube strike, I was in dire need of a solution. Thankfully, The Brewery came to my rescue! The team displayed unmatched professionalism and ensured that every detail was meticulously taken care of. What could have been a logistical nightmare turned into a seamless and successful event!
