The brief

An event to communicate new manufacturing initiatives

————

Lush cosmetics gave us a call, to help with getting their Manufacturing teams together for an event on site. Our mission was pretty clear: we had to build and manage a unique employee event for over 1,000 people and deliver it in just three weeks time.

  • Location: Lush Manufacturing 

  • Brief to create a bespoke event updating Lush teams on company plans

  • Venues to be built on Lush company property

  • Full event design, build and operation

  • 1,000 attendees

  • From brief to event, we had 3 weeks to design, plan and build

  • Vegetarian and vegan street food

  • 4000+ fresh juices served

  • Bespoke staging and AV design

Searching for space

From a patch of concrete to an event village

————

It was decided that there wasn’t a space suitable for the event to host over 1,000 people, or the smaller departmental areas, so we’d build them instead. These areas came in the form of a 60m x 25m main temporary structure marquee alongside several smaller structures and catering lounges.

From the commencement of the build we had 48 hours from patch of concrete to multiple event venue(s). We set about installing the temporary structures, power distribution, staging, catering, decoration and theming and event furniture. 

Sticking to task

A successful and vibrant staff event

————

To make sure guests could relax, interact and stay refreshed during the event, we installed a 20ft converted reclaimed shipping container bar which provided fresh juices, alongside several refillable water stations across the event site. We also installed a 30m x 15m stretch tent as a catering lounge, which was a great social destination, where team members could mingle and enjoy delicious vegetarian and vegan food from the street food traders.

Post-event, the catering lounge transformed into a social bar, filled with reclaimed wooden seating, funky lighting and live entertainment and music.

We managed the event for Lush Cosmetics from start to finish – from designing the site, installing the temporary infrastructure and structures, to the furniture, decoration and on site event management. The result was a vibrant team event, which was completely in keeping with the company’s brand and ethos. It was a great success.
