Transforming spaces

Filed under: Uncategorised — jamie @ 9:32 am

Loyens & Loeff, a leading legal practice from the Netherlands wished to celebrates its 15th Anniversary of its London office in chic contemproary surroundings…

The Garden Room at the Barbican provided the ideal layout and location for the event and held an exclusive offering with the Viktor & Rolf exhibition being next door, however the space lacked the desired look…

The Garden Room @ The Barbican

Impulse where brought into to transform the space to reflect Loyens & Loeff’s contemporary outlook; all of the rooms walls where to be drapped in white with a soft hung draping effect and the room washed in the companys blue colour…

An tight get-in time of 2 hours and a low ceiling height where to contend with but the team excelled and turned the drab, exhibition space into something more reminiscent of a suite at the Sanderson! The installation was completed with a stage for the Jazz band, contemporary furniture and superb floristry from our chosen florist, Carly Rogers.

It really does ‘matter’

Filed under: Christmas, Summer, Uncategorised — jamie @ 4:21 pm

WOW!!!! we where invited to London’s latest super club and WOW! what a space! The crisp concrete interior houses what is surely to be a great addition to London’s clubbing scene whilst presenting us with a unique venue to work with…

We loved the use of the polished concrete for everything including the bars and the benches! The club is laid out over three floors and features a VIP & VVIP areas as well as a more intimate side room, the main space features a live performance stage which can be viewed from the balcony levels and the skybridge walkway.

matter is installed with an outstanding sound system, I recommend positioning yourself in  the middle of the smaller room’s dancefloor to really understand what bass is all about, and if that wasnt enough the main dancefloor vibrates with the bass!!! the venue is completed with video projectors pointing in almost every direction and great LED lighting…

Please give us a call to get your event booked in there!!! It will work brilliantly if you are wanting to launch a technical or design led product and due to it s blank canvas nature could be turned into almost anything!

p.s. we recommed getting the Thames clipper to the venue, something novel about going along the thames on a bus!!!

Impulse Events CSR Policy

Filed under: Uncategorised — jamie @ 12:27 pm

We believe that we should have a positive impact on our environment and aim to enforce this throughout every aspect of our operations, whether in our own office, at our events, or when selecting third party suppliers

We seek to minimise the effect our office based operations have on the environment and produce live events with the minimum of impact.

We strive to create a positive working environment for our team members and encourage learning, and well being within out team.

We work with like minded suppliers and encourage them to follow our lead whether it be recycling event components, sourcing local produce, or hiring local crew.
How do we do it?

Environment

We actively seek to reduce our impact on the environment both within our office, and at events.

Within the office we recycle and reuse all waste paper products, recycle all used ink cartridges, have switched to energy efficient light bulbs.

We also seek to create a positive working environment for our staff and have recently introduced several oxygen producing plants to the office.

At events we actively seek to minimise our impact on the environment, using recycled carpets and low energy LED lighting. We attempt to re-use stage sets and props, as well and consolidating transport to and from the venue.

We work with our catering partners to recycle all bottles, minimise waste and source sensitively farmed, local produce.

During our 2007 Christmas party season we recycled over 25,000 beer and wine bottles.

Where possible we also encourage our clients to be sensitive to the environment when holding live events,

We encourage our client to reduce the amount of paper they waste through print, and encourage e-invites instead of a printed version
Community

We are active in the community and regularly support charity initiatives as well as offering discounts to health and other key workers.

We also offer event products which have a positive impact on the environment such as out responsible team building events at which you can renovate a local park or decorate a local hospital.

We use ‘local’ crew companies to ensure we are hiring staff from the immediate locality of the event, these crew are encouraged to travel to the event by public transport or by walking/bicycle.

Personal Service

Filed under: Uncategorised — jamie @ 3:56 pm

Personal service is something that many offer, but very few actually deliver.

At Impulse Events Ltd we place the personal service we offer our clients at the very top of our priority list.

Many of our clients have had the same account manager for several years, and some may have only ever dealt with that person.

We don’t believe in sending in a salesperson to sell you an event, then passing you to an operations manager, before a total stranger, your ‘event manager’ greets you on the day at your event.

We passionately believe in building partnerships with our clients, and that the best way to do this is to have one person who manages your events, knows your business and hopefully connects with you on a personal level.

If you are interested in building a partnership, please call Simon Mitchell on 0208 203 7473 to arrange a meeting.

Tax Free Entertaining

Filed under: Uncategorised — jamie @ 2:17 pm

Event organisers will be well aware that Gordon Brown doubled the longstanding £75 annual tax threshold for staff entertainment to £150 a few years ago. While it’s most often associated with Christmas party budgets, it’s worth noting that the threshold can be offset against any form of event throughout the year.

So, if your company employs 100 people, at the end of the accounting year £15,000 (including VAT), could as easily be set against a family fun day as post-work team drinks in your local pub.

For many companies, Christmas is still the main event. Rather than viewing the festive bash as a costly chore, smart companies are taking advantage of the tax break to give each staff member £150-worth of party for just £90 a head net.
