Made the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list

Culture isn’t just a buzzword, it’s our superpower. Being on the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, for the 3rd year in a row proves it.

Growth matters here. We celebrated 8 well-earned promotions and welcomed 7 new stars to the squad. More talent = more creativity + better event experiences delivered.
