There's a HUGE difference between an "organized person" and an events professional. It takes a special person to spend months building a vision and to-the-minute plans for an event, only to have everything thrown off by weather, shifting business priorities/client desires, a pandemic, you name it. Event professionals are the real deal - and their talents have "Swiss Army Energy" for any part of your business.

Seeking to repurpose vacant industrial spaces for temporary events? As safety advisors, our expertise lies in conducting thorough assessments and guiding clients through the necessary steps to ensure these spaces are safe for public use. This means equipping venues with essential fire safety and operational gear. Especially when converting an empty shell into a functional event space. The image I'm sharing is an example of space conversion. A vacant space might be temporarily leased for events before its full-time transformation into a shop. Yet, it's crucial to address compliance issues during this interim period. Event managers often focus on the aesthetic and setup of the event space. But often overlook the critical safety measures that must underlie these temporary installations. Ensuring that compliance and safety standards are met is a crucial aspect of our role, guaranteeing that the appeal of a venue never compromises its safety. #eventmanagement #eventsafety #healthandsafety

Housekeeping for tonight! (Since Linkedin doesn't let me message attendees only). Here are a few details to help you make the most of our time together this evening: ☕ Please ensure you arrive on time as we'll be starting promptly at 7pm with doors open at 6.30pm so you can grab a brew and cake. Kahaila have a selection of cakes and sandwiches if you fancy something a little more than a brew. ☕ We are over-subscribed so if you're no longer able to come cancel your ticket (my feelings won't be hurt I promise) and check out the upcoming dates here instead. ☕ The R&B is the playlist...so if you were hoping to blow us away with your vocal prowess - that's not the vibe. Open mic is all about sharing reflections and wisdom from your and career with the community. ☕ It's allllll about safety so although there will be a photographer/videographer present you can be given a wristband if you wish to be excluded from any footage (there will be no recording during open mic...all that can stay between us!) If you have any questions, drop me a message and I'll get back to ya! p.s. If you want to join us the link to register is in the comments :-) #career #london #r&b

We often talk about "Service" and "Hospitality" like they're two sides of the same coin.  But here's the thing: they're more like two different coins altogether! Even in the Remote Design industry, Service is what you get when you tick off a checklist and deliver the brief as requested; It's practical, functional, and important. Hospitality, though, that's where the magic happens! It's about feeling the warmth, empathy, and the little extra touch that makes you feel special. Sure, service gets the job done, but hospitality? It leaves a lasting impression. It's about making connections, understanding people's needs, and going that extra mile to make someone's day. In the end, it's not just about what you do, but how you do it. And that's where the real beauty lies. ✨
