Event planning

A few of the corporate events we have run.

If you are working out whether we have run anything like the event in front of you, this is the record of it: off-sites, galas, hospitality and press events, in the UK and abroad. The photographs follow each day in order — the room as we left it, then a schedule that held, a room that filled, and people who had travelled a long way looking as though they were glad they came. That is the part a proposal cannot really tell you about.

Duracell off-site

W Barcelona · 4 photographs

Duracell off-site

A corporate off-site in Barcelona, from the meeting rooms to the terrace.

Swipe

The hotel from the air, a sail-shaped tower standing at the end of the beach with a stone breakwater running out into the sea — 01The hotel, out at the end of the beach.

The tower seen from below against a clear sky, its W sign at the top and palms and white parasols on the deck in front of it — 02Arriving under the tower.

A round table laid for a small group with notepads, pens and bottled water at each place, a door standing open onto the corridor behind — 03A breakout room set and waiting.

Delegates standing and talking in groups on a decked terrace under a yellow awning and festoon lights, a palm in the foreground — 04Out on the terrace between sessions.

Commonwealth Games gala

2022 · 5 photographs

Commonwealth Games gala

A business dinner hosted by the High Commission of Australia, showcasing the best of Victoria.

Swipe

The hall before dinner, round tables laid under chandeliers between gilded columns, with a lit screen at the far end — 01The hall laid, before the doors open.

One table laid and waiting, gold cutlery and a printed programme at every place, delegate bags hung on the chairs and the stage behind — 02Every place set the same, table by table.

A centrepiece of yellow pincushion proteas, wattle and eucalyptus in a birch-bark vase, a small koala clipped to the table card above it — 03Wattle and eucalyptus, and a koala on the table card.

A printed dinner programme resting on a folded napkin at one place, a round photograph on its cover — 04The programme at every place.

Cocktail glasses filled and waiting on a tray, the lit room out of focus behind them — 05Poured, and waiting for the room to come in.

Boat Race Day

2025 · 5 photographs

Boat Race Day

A day's hospitality on the river for the Boat Race, from an empty lawn to the crews going past.

Swipe

Two of the team in orange sweatshirts walking up to the club gate before it opens, a rope barrier set out on the pavement beyond it — 01First on site, before the gate opens.

A bottle of gin and a bottle of elderflower on a linen-covered bar, a cut-glass tumbler of lemon wedges and a steel jigger beside them and bunting strung behind — 02The bar built and stocked, nothing poured yet.

Bottles of champagne, prosecco and rosé packed into a steel bucket of ice, carried between two of the team — 03Champagne into ice on the way down to the lawn.

A guest laughing with a member of the team on the river path, other guests talking in groups behind them under the lamps — 04Guests in, and the team stays on the floor.

The crowd on the lawn turned to the river as a crew comes past with the launches following, balloons tied off at the front of the terrace — 05The crew comes past, and the lawn turns with it.

Press event

Press event

A press tasting for Château Troplong Mondot in London, from the welcome glass to a seated table.

Swipe

A long wooden table laid with glassware the length of it, under a ceiling installation of dried flowers and grasses lit from within — 01The table laid, before anyone is in.

A wooden wine case printed with the château's name standing on a shelf between potted herbs, jars of preserves and a stack of crates — 02The château's own case, in among the shop's shelves.

A row of bottles seen close along their labels, the nearest reading Château Troplong Mondot, 1er Grand Cru Classé, 2010 — 03The 2010 lined up and ready to pour.

Guests standing with wine glasses around a counter while a man speaks to them, woven pendant lights hanging above — 04Glasses in hand, and the introduction.

Guests seated along both sides of the long table in conversation, glasses poured in front of them and the dried flowers overhead — 05Down to the table, and into the tasting.
