Leading Worcester-based audio visual and events company, PSG Events Limited, are celebrating one of their most successful years in which they supplied audio visual equipment, technical expertise, staging and event management skills to some of country's most prestigious companies.

With a clientbase that includes such famous names as Bacardi, Wickes, Philips, Barratt Homes, Siemens, Sainsbury's and Staples, PSG Events carried out over 120 conferences and events throughout 2011. The firm has also increased its clientbase in number of niche industry sectors including healthcare, public sector, leisure and hotel chains including some of the country's leading names such as Holiday Inn, Hilton and Best Western. They also provide technical and event management support to a number of charities including Marie Curie Cancer Care the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Headway.

Over the past year, this family-owned business which can trace its heritage right back to the 1930's in the events industry, has invested over £30,000 worth of new state-of-the-art audio visual equipment and has recently recruited two new members of staff,  Jody Carvell who joins as Sales Manager and Marius (Maz) Goodwin who joins as a Senior Project Manager.

Among the many highlights of 2011, PSG Events organised a number of road Shows including 5 week Road Show for one the country's leading pharmacy chains. They were also involved in supplying equipment and organising conferences for Thomas Sanderson Blinds, the British Heart Foundation, Wickes, Staples and Securitas to name but a few.

According to Keith Istead, Managing Director of PSG Events Limited, the key to the company's success lies in its service, people and understanding of the client's needs.

He says,

"As an events company we are totally self- sufficient. We carry all the equipment in-house without the need to hire it in for events. We are always mindful of budgets, particularly in this economic climate where companies still need to carry out their internal communications function in a motivating and professional manner but without spending the large sums of money that have previously been seen across the industry. Although our capabilities extend to the large events such as award ceremonies and sales conferences, we have noticed that over the past few years, the requests have been for more medium-sized types of events which we excel in organising as a firm. We are also looking to increase the dry hire side of the business in 2012, via a courier based delivery and collect service allowing clients to manage the audio visual equipment themselves. In terms of our service, PSG Events offers a dedicated team of event management experts and every client is treated as an individual. Every proposal we give is bespoke to the client's needs and we offer innovative and cost effective solutions to help make every event a success. We are also at the end of the phone 24/7 for our clients and having developed a number of niche industry specialisms, we have built-up a real understanding of different types of businesses and their event requirements."
