Meet Our Founder & Director – Matt Colgan
With two decades of invaluable experience in the events industry, Matt’s career has spanned some of the world’s largest media, publishing, and events enterprises, offering him a great understanding of many diverse industry sectors.
Matt has a relentless passion for innovation and a deep appreciation for cutting-edge event technologies. He knows that embracing innovation is key to enhancing event experiences, making each one unforgettable.
What sets Matt apart is his unwavering commitment to the creation of commercially sustainable events that can not only thrive but also evolve year after year. His roots in business development have honed his expertise and equipped him with an extensive skill set for identifying event partners, sponsors, and exhibitors.
Creating environmentally sustainable events is equally important to Matt and his team. In every event we undertake, we prioritise sustainability, making dedicated efforts to minimise carbon footprint. We understand the important role that the event industry can play in helping the UK get to Net Zero through reducing direct event related carbon emissions but also by educating event attendees on the latest sustainability innovations to accelerate wider societal change.
We take the stress out of events for our clients, offering peace of mind through our holistic event production, sales, marketing, and management service.
We’re always innovating and make use of the latest event technologies to add value before, during and after the events we run. We approach all of our events with a meticulous attention to detail, ultra-professionalism, integrity and calm.
We have more than twenty years of international b2b and b2c event management experience gained from organising events in television, book publishing, counter fraud and property. We act as a trusted partner to our clients, understanding and exceeding their event goals.
