New office for expanding events agency and cake
Sleeks Events has outgrown its stylish home office in Raynes Park, London, since Jennifer Davidson started its trading in August 2015. Her decision to expand from a one-girl-band meant Sleek Events’ second year turnover smashed its first year, rising from a mere £50,000 to over £1 million.
“It’s very rare for all six employees to be at the office at once but my home office was getting a bit cramped! Our new office in Richmond has the potential to accommodate a team of 10. My daily goal is to make clients’ lives easier by creating exceptional and memorable events and having fun with it. And now we can do that without spilling over into my kitchen!”
32-year-old Bournemouth University graduate, Jennifer, has worked as an events executive since 2009 including a property franchise and UK tech giant, Gartner. Her knowledge of tech has paid off, winning huge contracts with one of the world’s largest on-demand cloud computing platforms and growing existing clients from her self-employed days.
“The team love finding out about new cities and venues during familiarisation visits and we have just started a blog to share our findings with followers on social media. We make sure there is something for everyone - whether they are looking to organise an intimate birthday party or a conference for 5,000!”
The team is expanding once again as our first placement student graduates and joins as a full-time employee, “We’re recruiting for our next student role, so anyone interested in joining us for their 40-week placement should get in touch before 30th June on hello@sleek events.co.uk”
