The drpgroup have launched their first response to what
promises to be one of the busiest years for the events and
communications industry, 2012. With the Golden jubilee as well as
the Olympic Games on the horizon, the group have revealed via their
website, www.drpgroup.com/#/twentytwelve, how they plan to use
their midlands and London based facilities and equipment to bolster
their client's 2012 communications plans, as well as providing "a
business as usual" solution for those looking to maintain their
regular communications during this busy time.
The drpgroup's free venue finding service, thevenuepot.com
has revealed that booking venues and hotel space within the M25
during the games period is already becoming an increasingly
difficult task. They are helping clients find last minute deals as
well as looking for alternatives outside of London that can still
meet client briefs.
The drpvideo team are offering their Covent Garden based
edit facilities to broadcasters and production houses that need
editing time and facilities in the capital during the games period.
Team development brand futureteams has begun the delivery of a
series of Olympics-related team development games and days out,
designed to engage their client's people with the excitement the
games are generating. The group are also offering their purpose
built team development lodge in Worcester to clients looking to
escape the capital during this exceptionally busy time.
The drpgroup are working with some of the key Olympic and
Paralympic sponsors such as Sainsbury's, Lloyds Banking Group and
Thomas Cook. The group are offering the expertise delivering
Olympic related events to all clients so they can engage their
teams with the inspiring Olympics theme. The drptechnicalservices
team are also gearing up for 2012 advising clients to book their
extensive warehouse of in-house kit as early as possible along with
the hire of skilled technicians to ensure projects can be delivered
without inflated prices. The drptechnicalservices team are
promising their clients 2011 prices will stay in place until the
end of the year as 2012 promises to push up rates across the
industry.
In house pyrotechnics team CMD is also on full alert for
the celebrations, advising clients to organise their fireworks
displays as soon as possible to secure stock and technicians.
Following recent outdoor roadshows for clients and the
production of the Bridge Bash Festival, the drpevents team are also
proposing outdoor celebrations and festivals as part of their 2012
offering.
Dale Parmenter, group managing director, commented on the
opportunity, "the drpgroup are approaching the challenge of 2012
with the advantage of our in house resource on our side, from kit
to facilities, technicians to venue finding, we can provide a full
events and communications service to clients in 2012 without
hunting around for that last piece of kit available or that last
freelance technician who's not booked. This gives us the
opportunity to help clients celebrate the games, but also provide a
business as usual service to those simply maintaining their
communications throughout 2012."
