Hiring the wrong staging company….. Priceless!

To work with an organisation who specialise in stage and set design, call Evolution Live on 0845 22 55 386.  We provide all clients with CAD designs of their staging, accurate to the millimetre, so they know exactly what they are buying before the day of the event.

See our blog on CAD design for further detail: http://www.evolutionlive.co.uk/2010/09/event-stage-rental-cad-designs/

Evolution Live the venue finding specialists – having operated in the Corporate Events sector for 7 years, organising events across the globe, we are confident we can find the perfect venue for any event.

Most recently, we were tasked with assisting Leica in their October 2010 road show taking in 11 venues around the UK in just three weeks.  Working up a list of venues across the UK from London to Inverness, Dublin, Belfast and everywhere in-between, we started with rough geographic locations and estimated audience numbers, performing a national search for venues that would slot into the road show whilst also being of adequate quality for client engagement events. Specifications included: ample parking, easily accessible, outside space, conference area, exhibition area and break out spaces.

As the road show ran in October, (a peak conference month), it was all the more difficult to find suitable venues with the appropriate dates available to slot into the road show schedule.  Our team  was also tasked with finding suitable accommodation (close to venue and within budget) for the Leica road show delivery team (10 – 20 pax).

Needless to say, Lisa (‘Event Manager Extraordinaire’) worked her magic, not only providing a shortlist of suitable venues and negotiating the best rates but also exceeding client expectations with her selections and some clever route planning, making the best of the distance between the various towns and cities, she managed to reduce their usual 5 week road show down to just 3 weeks.

And the cherry on the cake …..our venue finding service is offered Free of Charge and does not need to be booked in conjunction with any of our other services

How do you create great team work and better customer service in this time of austerity?

Change was the answer for Evolution Live and part of that change has been to create one single office space for the production and the administration teams.

For a number of months we have been reviewing our organisation to understand how we can streamline and work more effectively. We identified a small issue that was having a significant impact on our ability to operate as a team and share information – we were split over two offices (just a stone’s throw apart) but the impact was significant with groups operating in silos. So we literally took the hammer to the dividing wall, creating one workspace and the improvement has been palpable. In a very short space of time, the team has become more tightly knit, sharing thoughts and ideas and most importantly, the net outcome is that we are better and quicker at responding to our customers’ needs. Champagne and croissants were the order of the day, to celebrate the completion of the transition and add a touch of occasion to the day when we became one unit.

As Evolution strides into our peak season, serving events at least 4 days out of 5, the technical production team closely coordinates the movement of kit from our warehouse to sites all over the country, the event delivery team coordinates venues, theming, technicians, bands & travel and the admin staff make sure that everyone is getting paid, ensuring the super smooth delivery of our events.

The machine that is Evolution Live has received a little lubrication and we’re working harder and smarter than ever before.

A number of other updates are on the horizon including the upgrade of our editing studio to HD and the introduction of a new technology that will allow us to deliver amazing and large visual shows at a fraction of the cost… so watch this space.
