“We wanted to shout about this fantastic evening, as we felt that it was a very encouraging sign that the London events industry is now fully back on track for international clients. After such an unpredictable and challenging time for business and events on a global scale, we are so delighted and grateful to be back in a truly reinvigorated marketplace which now has a vastly increased appetite for in-person events.
The last couple of years have clearly shown, in an age of ever-advancing technological capabilities, that the essence of real face-to-face connection cannot be replicated online. Live events offer an invaluable space for communicating key messages in an impactful multi-sensory way and are an unparalleled resource for relationship building – the very foundation of all strong businesses.
As we look ahead to what is set to be the best year to date for Blue Strawberry Group, we have never been more excited about the road ahead. The resilience we have built into the business with our incredible team and our renewed passion for creating spectacular food and events are paving the way for a very bright future indeed.”
