What’s the first thing that springs to mind when you think about a marquee? Village fête? Garden party? Wedding? All common places at which you’d find one. What about a private gala dinner on the Miami beachfront? Now you’re listening! We’ve often written about finding the perfect venue in our blogs, and every event planner knows how difficult it is to identify the ideal space, in the be...

If like us, you saw the Fyre Festival documentary on Netflix this weekend recounting the lies, failings and false advertising of a luxury event experience, it’ll have been a hot topic of discussion in your office this week. No one can forget the carnage that ensued following the catastrophic failings of the festival organisers in 2017, and we all smiled wryly at the ironic role social media play...

We're delighted to announce that Sarah Yeats has been appointed as Managing Director. She will continue to lead the team, grow the business and deliver award-winning events. Sarah joined Sledge as an Account Director six years ago and was quickly promoted to Client Services Director. She has been a fundamental member of the team ever since and has been central to the growth of key accounts such a...

Coming into Sledge every Friday always puts an extra spring in my step. Not only is it guaranteed that I will be sneakily fed extra treats from under people desks (when mum isn’t looking), I also get all the attention I could possibly want! 2018 was a year of learning new skills for me, and although at first I was cautious not to become a circus dog, I just couldn’t resist my favourite sausag...

2018 has been a year of achievements for me, and I’m so excited to see how my time at Sledge will develop.  I've only been at Sledge for a short while, joining this September, which was a great moment of 2018 but everyone has been so welcoming and the atmosphere is great, so I can't complain.Since being on the team, I’ve been part of some really great and unique projects such as O2 Live and a...

I thought long and hard about what my Sledge Story of 2018 should be, and there were a few choices I could have chosen from. My Sledge highlight is an experience that was a little unexpected, but great fun. If you had told me in January of this year that by September, I would be completely devoted to 5 Red Admiral Butterflies, I wouldn’t have believed you. In saying that, I was so excited when...

My favourite moment of 2018 is spread across an entire month. I’ve been working on the O2 account ever since I started at Sledge, and their events are some of my favourites to produce. This May, myself and the team embarked on a month-long roadshow across the country with the O2 retail team to deliver a total of 18 shows in three different city locations. It was great fun to bring the O2 messag...

We very sadly lost our wonderful office dog, Roamy, this year. Although very upset by our loss, she was very loyal and lived a long and happy life. and despite her old age, was always the sweetest natured dog. Leaving such a large hole in our office it wasn’t going to be an easy task to find a new puppy, but the hunt was on. This puppy had VERY big paws to fill. All in all, I looked at 15 litte...

I don’t really know where to start with 2018. It’s been a whirlwind of a year having had my first baby at the end of 2017. Coming back to work from maternity leave and picking up where I left off has left me being very busy. Of course, there are plenty of personal highlights from 2018 but, being part of the Sledge family, I was excited to come back to work and catch up with the team and find...
