The Brief: Transform an active industrial site into a marquee event space for 150 guests
ACO Technologies, a leader in water management and drainage solutions, completed a major site expansion at their Bedfordshire headquarters. They required a full-service event agency to design and execute a high-profile opening event.
Key Objectives:
- Officially launch the new warehouse facility to partners, workers and shareholders.
- Integrate ACO’s core brand values of environmental sustainability and biodiversity into the event theme.
- Provide end-to-end event logistics, stage production, and guest flow across an industrial operational site.
The Solution: Sustainable Event Design and use of Local Organic Produce
