Each and every company has a annual tax allowance for staff entertainment of £150 inc Vat pp. Regardless of the recession, your company is still entitled to this, and if your company is profitable surely it is more efficient to spend this on developing and motivating your team than to simply give it to the tax man?

If you are clever and shop around, you will find that within this budget you can book some truly remarkable Christmas Parties, or you could improve team work, efficiency and morale by booking one of our fantastic team building packages.

If your company is profitable and you are told ‘Christmas is cancelled’ go and see your finance department and ask them why they have chosen to give an extra £150 per employee to the tax man rather than spending it on developing the morale of the workforce?

As of today, the UK economy is now officially in recession. Many people are now asking what role the event industry has in such in uncertain times. I would argue a very important one…

In such difficult times, with many companies facing tough times it is now more important than ever that staff are motivated and working to the best of their abilities, and keeping the clients you already have is more important than ever.

Many people see the annual staff Christmas party as a ‘bit of a jolly’ but done the right way, this is not the case and in fact the party can have an extremely positive and long term effect on staff. Take for example the quote below from the MD of a company which held its 2008 Christmas Party with Impulse Events at the Grand Hall:

Thanks for organising a great party on Saturday night. I know that it always takes much more effort and care than anyone thinks. I loved the Can Can and the gambling and the band and the food and the venue!

It was great FUN and was much enjoyed by all. I was particularly impressed by the way people from all areas of the business mixed so well and I think that events like this always strengthen a company.

‘Events like this strengthen a company’ and they really can! Done in the right way there is no doubt that the Christmas party can motivate staff and help to integrate new staff members. Instead of a power point presentation telling staff what a tough year its been, a genuine, 5 minute, heartfelt thank you from the MD can really make staff feel valued and secure.

Team Building is also a wonderful way to motivate, integrate and improve communication between team members, and we have several cost effective solutions that can be tailored to your brief and specific objectives. We have expanded our list of venues and activiites in 2009 so that we can offer something for every budget.

To meet the challenges that this new year will no doubt bring, at Impulse Events we are going to work with our clients and industry colleagues to deliver outstanding value for money and the same fantastic quality of event. We are currently working on several joint ventures with our catering partners, preferred venues and suppliers to develop cost effective packages for our clients… a kind of one-stop-shop solution, saving our clients both time and money - two very valuable commodities in the current climate!

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…

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.

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!!!

We really enjoyed the show and hope you did too…

Thank you to our existing and hopefully new clients for coming to see at our stand…

We would love to help you create great visual impact at your exhibition, please give us a call to discuss your exhibition requirements…
