Event Management and Support Services for Small Businesses
Organising an event takes an enormous amount of time and attention to detail. From finding the right venue and managing the guest list to making sure everything runs smoothly on the day, there are a hundred things to keep track of and very little room for things to go wrong.
Red Desk provides event management and event support services for small businesses, organisations and charities across the UK. We draw on years of experience coordinating events and conferences, including large-scale events in the advertising industry, to take the hard work off your plate and make sure your event goes exactly as planned.
Whether you are organising a business conference, a corporate away day, a networking event, a product launch, a charity fundraiser or a private celebration, we can help at every stage of the process.
Venue Research and Sourcing
Finding the right venue for your event is time-consuming work. We research venues that match your requirements, gather quotes and put together a clear summary of your options so you can make an informed decision without spending hours on the phone. Whether you need a city centre conference room, a country house for a team retreat or a private dining space for a client dinner, we will find the best options for your budget and brief.
Invitations and Guest Management
We manage your invite list from start to finish. Whether you are sending printed invitations or using online event management software, we handle the administration, put together any additional information your guests need, monitor responses and follow up with anyone who has not replied. On larger events we can also manage dietary requirements, accessibility needs and delegate communications in the run-up to the day.
Speaker and Technical Coordination
Getting the technical side right is essential, especially for conferences and business events. We liaise with speakers ahead of the event to make sure they have everything they need, from AV requirements and presentation formats to timings and joining instructions. We draw on extensive experience coordinating events and conferences to make sure nothing is left to chance.
On the Day Support
We are happy to attend on the day and manage your front of house. That means welcoming delegates and speakers, making sure everyone has the information they need, handling any last-minute queries and keeping the event running smoothly from start to finish. Having a calm, organised presence on the ground makes a real difference to how a professional event feels.
Post-Event Administration
Once the event is over there is still work to do. We can handle post-event communications including thank you messages, feedback surveys and follow-up emails, as well as any documentation or reporting that needs to be completed afterwards.
