Welcome toPerforming Artistes2017 sees us mark 25 years in business. We’ve certainly come along way from operating out of the spare room of the chairman’shouse, with both the business and industry changing beyond allrecognition. We originally put on events, namely sporting dinners, before focussing on supplying otherpeoples’ events. That heritage of running events still runs through the business and in facteveryone who works for us has run events themselves – we believe you can only trulyunderstand and best service a customer when you’ve been through the stresses and strains of events yourself.
We now supply people around the world, and while our name hints at entertainment – afterdinner speaking and awards hosts are very much a mainstay - half of the events we supply arewhat we would call the serious stuff: people chairing conferences and giving keynote speeches.
PR and Marketing campaigns are also a growing part of the business, be they a simple personalappearance, a radio and broadcast day or even a full blown endorsement/advertising campaign.
While much has changed, the fundamentals remain the same, and our clarion call is still: we workfor you! So whether you are planning your first event, or your hundredth, do give us a call ordrop us a line and we look forward to hearing from you.
The Performing Artistes Team.
