Feel free to use them in your event publications.

Hope this is of some benefit. Cheers, Darren

What to do for Summer this year...

This year we have been developing a whole new range of menus and for summer we thought why not celebrate all things great about Britain....

So we have taken inspiration from all over the country and developed a brochure that not only outlines some of the exciting menus we have developed but the history behind how some of our loved, and also not so well known meals originated..... you might even find a poem thrown in for good measure too!

At the end of 2009, we we

Save our Tigers

Hey guys! The tiger, one of the most magnificent animals in the world, is also one of the most endangered. A cat of beauty, strength, and majesty, the tiger is master of all and subject to none -- except humans. Of the eight original subspecies of tigers, three have become extinct within the last 60 years; and there are less than 50 South China tigers left on this planet -- few, and possibly none, survive in the wild. As we all are the citizens, the tigers also make up the country. We all need… Continue

A decade to be done with?

A comment for Mike Fletcher - Hi Mike, love reading your stuff and intriguing words on the 'noughties decade' - I would like to add that actually for us the decade's been a good one, thanks to a fresh strategy put in place at the end of the nineties, that lent heavily on a number of factors, eg; focus ourselves as a "group of specialists" in events; invest in technology; build on our client relationship activities; focus on areas of our expertise; work damned hard with all the wonderful people i… Continue

I am currently putting together a 600-word piece on green(er) events for a respected online publication - the tack is that design will lead the charge, but only if a brief is given that truly challenges the designers. In order to get feedback on this subject - as I do anyway through my twittering (@MikeBell3D) - I posted a request for information and got so LITTLE back... I posted it under #eventprofs... perhaps I should have done more.. Well those few words may come back to haunt us all. I hav… Continue
