Preston event organiser Glasgows, which has hitherto conducted much of its public sector business with various DTI agencies and regional development agencies, has picked up a number of new Home Office and Cabinet projects.
The majority of the company’s work is derived from government departments in London.
Recent assignments have included staging the Beacon Awards, a ceremony celebrating ‘best of class’ delivery in the public sector organised in association with IDeA, CLG and Revolution Events. Over 600 guests attended the dinner at the Royal Horticultural Halls in London, presided over by MC Floella Benjamin.
The company also managed the annual Zuckerman Lecture on behalf of the DTI at the Royal Society in London. The event calls for an internationally eminent figure to address the ‘cream’ of the UK’s scientific community. This year’s speaker was Al Gore in his guise as US politician, businessman and most recently environmentalist.
The lecture was based on his award winning film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and was chaired by Sir David King, chief scientific adviser to HM Government. Over 250 guests including Sir David Attenborough and the CEOs of Sainsbury’s and Shell attended the diner.
Glasgows has also recently staged a series of consultation events across the UK on behalf of the Cabinet Office’s Equality Review Team.
The final piece of major government work came in the shape of the National Executive Committee of the Home Office, which commissioned Glasgows to stage an event for 500 delegates at an event entitled ‘Race Equality – Does It Really Matter?’
Glasgows was founded by Ron Glasgow and employs 30+ staff at its base in Preston’s former docklands with a further warehouse facility of 35,000 sq ft nearby.www.glasgows.co.uk/ Something to add? Then leave a comment below or email us now.
