Last week clear once again helped Business Growth Hub to stage Manchester’s Venturefest event. Based in the quirky Barbirolli Room at the Bridgewater Hall, Venturefest 2017 brought together SMEs with investors, entrepreneurs, innovators and academics to connect and do business.

With top level speakers like Andy Burnham, two competitions for start-ups to pitch for a chance to win £20k worth of funding and a panel debate, the event was very well attended.

Venturefest is such an interesting event we can’t wait to start working on next years! If you want to know more about how clear can support your events email hello@weareclear.co.uk or call us on 0161 448 2424.

It has been a busy start to the Autumn this week, with clear delivering 4 events in just 4 days.

One event took place in Warrington, on behalf of charity Onside, Warrington Youth Club and in association with National Citizen Service (NCS).

Held at Pyramid Parr Hall in Warrington, the event kicked off with presentations and continued with a live debate between former Prime Minister David Cameron and several young people involved in the charity and the NCS. The debate was filmed and edited on site.

In the evening, the NCS held a graduation ceremony attended by young people who had completed the scheme and their families.

The action packed agenda including key note speeches, a graduation celebration and a live musical performance.

Clear provided full event management support including AV and technical operation and creation of all on screen graphics.

The client was delighted with how the event went and sent the following feedback to the team:

Thank you so much for providing such excellent AV services for our event at Parr Hall in Warrington, you were extremely professional and easy to work with on the planning stages and throughout the event even when there were a number of significant last minute changes. The event was described by Michael Lynas, the Chief Executive of NCS Trust as the best Graduation he has ever attended, and this was most definitely in part a result of the smooth and seamless presentation and quality of the audio both of the presenters and the pre-recorded footage. Thanks once again to the team.
