When designing an event, Evolution Live includes the construction of detailed CAD designs of the Event Staging, produced precisely to scale and replicating true-to-life colours, textures and lighting.

Our  clients  find  this service  refreshing as it  provides  them  with a  real insight  into  both  the   visual  impact  of  our  designs  and  the  structural implications relative to the venue.

We    believe     it     is    important    to    couple    CAD     imaging     with accurate preliminary site visits and so offer this as part   of our service.  These  two  components  in  tandem   give  us   a  precise set  of   parameters  providing a  framework  for  our   designs and ultimately defining  the scale of our production.

Our  floor  plans are accurate to the  millimetre, giving  our team and   our   clients  the   confidence  that  we  are   realistic   in   using the  space   to  its   maximum   potential   whilst  ensuring  we   are considerate to the comfort of guests.

Evolution Live  also  produces  CAD images  for venues, providing  detailed  site  plans  and   example layouts for virtual tours  and   brochures,  providing  invaluable   information  to  their  customers  in a  clear  and  relevant  format.

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

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.

Our services include:

• FREE Venue Finding
• Corporate party entertainment
• Corporate party themes
• Corporate party invitations
• Office party ideas for London, Milton Keynes, Oxford, Aylesbury or well…… ANYWHERE

Your event, your day, your statement….. Our Imagination.

Astonbury is a local (takes place in Aston Abbotts) outdoor music evening which takes place annually. Since it started in 1999 the event is bigger than ever and there are no signs of it slowing down.

With outdoor festivals around the country fast becoming more popular than ever, local music festivals are a great way of showing home-grown talent as well as bringing the community together. It is estimated that 600 people attended Astonbury 2010.

The event took place on the 17th July 2010 and was a great night for everyone involved.

The total mileage was 1790.
