Housing 21 “Living our values” staff awards
We thought
Staff awards can be dry, dull and miss the whole point – saying a big “Thank You” to the people who go out of their way to make a difference. We wanted it to be about more than a fistful of gift vouchers and a handshake, we wanted everyone to feel appreciated and valued from the minute they arrived.
We created
A whole event brand for the words “Thank You” that permeated the whole day. A fabulous venue where guests could step out of their day-to-day world, be spoiled, catch up with other members of the H21 family – and an awards ceremony to honour everyone’s amazing contributions.
We delivered
A relaxing day where staff could leave their everyday lives at the front door. The Housing 21 thank you wall where everyone could show their appreciation for their colleagues and an awards ceremony & presentation that captured the enthusiasm and values that drive H21 staff to pull out the stops every day.

Music In The Park
We thought
Tough times make it hard for local charities like Friends of Elms Park to raise money. They needed something that would bring people together and raise awareness as well as cash, we saw it as an opportunity for us to use all our event design expertise to help a cause close to home.
We created
A family-friendly festival bursting with music, activities and fun that would appeal to all generations and bring the Thame community together.
We delivered
A super-charged day of bands, dance troupes (performing on three stages – one of which was resourcefully put together by a scaffolding company!), mod-tastic scooters, food stalls, and a real ale beer tent. The day was a huge success (even the sun put in an appearance) raising over £8k and drawing in almost 3,000 people.

Winter One-derland
We thought
Ok, it’s January. Christmas has been and gone, but there’s no reason not to have THE best Winter party ever…
We created
A transformation. From brick walls, desks and car parks to fun, fantasy, snowy winter wonderland, where guests conducted the important business of playing and partying like kids.
We delivered
Total white out –fluffy floor, sparkling icicles, endlessly falling snow, old school Slush Puppies™ with a kick, chilli bake-off, Summertown’s first outdoor ice rink, snowball throwing contest, the One Big Quiz, Little Red Video Shed –and every guest –all 100 of them, received a home baked, branded frosted cupcake invitation.

Venturefest 2010
We thought
How do we host 1000 international entrepreneurs, innovators and investors for a full day –keep them busy, stimulated, productive and engaged from 7am until the sun goes down? And then we started work…
We created
A vibrant, inspiring, learning and networking environment, where participants could immerse themselves in themed streams of events or pick and choose pertinent activities throughout their day.
We delivered
A full day programme of speaker sessions, panel discussions, lectures and workshops, exhibition and an innovation showcase, all with full AV production. We topped and tailed the day with a business breakfast and evening reception and dinner, with guest speakers. And guests at Venturefest got to test drive the Mini E all day!

Lake House Table – Press launch
We thought
What better way to showcase a seasonal product – fresh, organic food – than to bring the season, Spring, indoors.
We created
Spring in a box – an event to appeal to all the senses, to stimulate, enrapture and amuse. The result was an unforgettable launch event, which planted (see what we did there) the product, through beautifully crafted display, in the natural environment from which it comes.
We delivered
Birdsong, spring scents, tactile table runners made from real moss, growing flowers, budding in abundance, and a ‘Baa’, to keep the amber nectars and life giving waters flowing.

Drinks reception and dinner at the Ashmolean
We thought
The event offered the perfect opportunity to wine and dine guests at the fabulously renovated historic Ashmolean museum –and to give them a jolly good feed.
We created
A sophisticated, intellectually stimulating yet relaxed atmosphere for leading business figures to enjoy informal but productive discussion, in a unique, fascinating museum location.
We delivered
A champagne reception, an engaging guest speaker to keep 120 guests enthralled, whilst they tucked into a sumptuous three course meal, beneath the gaze of the ancient artifacts lining the Randolph Sculpture Gallery.

Traditional High Tea
We thought
We have the perfect venue for an exclusive, high class, themed sixtieth Birthday party for a highly respected academic guest of honour.
We created
A truly authentic experience – High tea, properly served, laced with vintage class, nostalgia and exquisite finishing touches.
We delivered
Themed invitations and table settings, Period music, played on a traditional gramophone, an abundance of flowers, picnic basket gift boxes with premium quality, era correct goodies within – and lashings of cake and tiny sandwiches with the crusts cut off.
