🤩 A big thank you to Anastasia Tore for inviting our High 5 Team for a show round and fabulous lunch at Sea Containers, London.

🔥 An iconic hotel with a design reminiscent of a 1920s transatlantic cruise liner, award-winning food, electric energy, and the very best views of London - perfectly located on the South Bank with easy, accessible transport links to London (& beyond).

🙌 An opportunity to network and get together with our industry peers is always an opportunity worth taking, we never walk away without something to take home with us. Discussing experiences and sharing contacts is something we never get bored of... Plus it's an industry where EVERYONE knows how to have FUN!

🍔 Michelle & Louise recently visited Wyboston Lakes, for The Delegate Wranglers BBQ. The venue showcased their capabilities perfectly... Especially as an outdoor event soon became an indoor extravaganza (British summer, as reliable as ever ☔️)

🛌 With some great 3-4* accommodation on site, along with a training center and event center, it is the perfect setting for a remote location event. It's almost like it was made for team building!

🍃 Their aim to be off-grid by 2025 and their innovative sustainable meeting rooms are inspirational.

🙌 Emma & Louise were very generously invited to experience the Radisson & Radisson Red London Heathrow and Ascot Racecourse.

🤩 With 637 Radisson bedrooms & 258 Radisson RED bedrooms, it is the UK and Ireland's first dual branded Radisson hotel. This gives the opportunity to cater for larger numbers and provide comfortable accommodation for both ends of the budget.

⭐ With a versatile, large conference space and more than 20 smaller breakout spaces. It really is a great venue for creativity and getting the most out of your meetings and delegates.

🏇 They were also very lucky to experience a day of hospitality at Ascot Racecourse and their various event spaces, only a stones throw away from Heathrow. It is a great combination of accommodation & offsite activities.

🙏 Thank you Radisson RED and Ascot Racecourse for your hospitality and we can't wait to share your venues with our clients.

🇫🇮 Helsinki, what a pleasant surprise!

🙌 Louise & Matthew recently visited the city, supporting our client with their EAN congress logistics and the build of their Exhibition Booth & Scientific Business Suite

If there’s one rule in life, it’s always say YES to Nobu

Danielle recently attended the Dubai Europe M&I Study Mission with LevelUp. Dubai is a spectacular destination that provides a vast and modernistic landscape for the development of new and innovative ideas. This three-day trip showcased Dubai’s finest in hotels and event venues, including the Grand Hotel Atlantis Royal, One&Only One Za'abeel, and Madinat Jumeirah. Spring is a great time to host your event in Dubai with pleasant temperatures around 20-25 degrees. It was hard to come back home to 5 degrees in London! The group got a real taste of Dubai with a traditional breakfast of Dubai treats, took in awe-inspiring views at Dubai The Palm, and ventured into the dessert to Terra Solis. Such a memorable opportunity!

Helsinki – a new & exciting pin on the map for High 5 Events Louise Paterson and Matthew Faulkner visited Helsinki last week on a whirlwind site visit to familiarise themselves with the local area, hotels, meeting venues & restaurants before returning with our client's delegation for in June.

Comfort & care for our delegates is key & a site inspection (however brief) is always recommended! Hotel facilities, distance to the congress, proximity to restaurants and amenities, links to public transport, access to the airport (and more)! These are all considered when searching for the best and most suitable location or venues.

Thank you Helsinki hoteliers & colleagues for showing us your beautiful city. Whilst this flying visit to the “not so frozen north” was white & snowy, it will certainly be very blue & green when we return later in the year.

Last week Ailsa Plain had the great pleasure of being on-site in Zürich, flying the High 5 Events flag with one of our lovely clients for their first F2F Corporate Affairs meeting in 4 years. Our base was the fantastic Sorell Hotel Zürichberg , with it's gorgeous views over the city and lake. With two off-site dinners, a team building activity and a last-minute change of agenda (due to the weather!) it was a busy, fulfilling and FUN week. As is always the case following a successful meeting, it was sad to say goodbye to this great group. Until next time...😃

Wishing Everyone a Happy Valentines Day from all of the team at High 5!

We didn’t quite need to step over the mountain of flowers & balloons at the office door this morning (cough, cough!) … however, it was great to welcome in some special doggie visitors yesterday, plus Sara too, lol! Always prefer F2F catch-ups in our crazy virtual working world!

Busy January & start to 2024 at ‘High 5 Towers’!
In a week where we have seen Storm Isha & Jocelyn pass by, it’s great to see our team still has its much-loved sense of humour … !
We found Louise’s boots in the office yesterday afternoon … and couldn’t help but have a chuckle! 😊

Just returned from our Annual High 5 Events Kick Off Meeting with our awesome team!

Due to everyone’s dedication & hard work, 2023 was a challenging but thankfully successful year for us, with many special memories of team collaboration & event successes.
Our January Kick Off Meeting always gives us an opportunity to reflect & fine tune our offering to our entrusting clients. Yesterday’s meeting was brimming over with inspiration, creativity, motivation (… & hugs), all topped off amongst the relaxed charm of the Grade II Pendley Manor. Even the peacocks decided to add their feedback (at one point!) with their chirps … alongside our party blowers, mini trumpets & whistles.

High 5 Team - Thank you for all your ongoing loyalty & for continuing to inspire us on our memorable journey together into 2024.

Have you considered Hamburg for your next event?

Danielle of recently explored the city of Hamburg on this Educational trip hosted by Moulden Marketing and the Hamburg Convention Bureau. During the three-day familiarisation trip, Danielle experienced Hamburg's charms, from jolly Christmas markets to impressive Convention venues. Hamburg offers excellent connections between venues and public transport, facilitating easy travel within the city.

On the final day of the High 5 Christmas countdown, I am celebrating the hard work of all 12 members of our team throughout the year. The team recently took time to celebrate and got all glammed up ahead of the Christmas break 🥂🎄.
Christmas to me is about celebrating the past year, getting ready for the next year and enjoying time off spent with friends and family. Its time we can spend with loved ones without interruption from work responsibilities and everyday challenges. And that time is to be cherished.
Wishing you all a Happy Christmas break and a special New Year! 🎄🎅🥂

CHRISTMAS …… I love Christmas starts the end of November for me. It is the little things that build up to it that makes it magical. Hot chocolates, Christmas shopping, letter writing to Santa, Christmas cake making, candle making, arts and crafts with Owen, then December comes and chocolates, elf on the shelf, emergency panic shopping, nativity plays, calendar hectic LOVE IT!!! Also being informed by your son that Santa isn’t real.. HELLO…nobody told me!!

18/12/2023

For me, Christmas is all about spending time with my precious girls, family and friends. It’s about the little traditions we’ve created; the tree goes up early (end of November!), we see the Xmas lights come on it our little Georgian market town, watch a Christmas film every night throughout December, drink hot chocolate with marshmallows and squirty cream, buy Quality Street and argue about who’s putting the empty wrappers back in the tub! Party, giggle, drink mulled wine and fizz with friends then dive into a GREAT. BIG. FAT. Christmas dinner and settle down to watch ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ whilst in a food coma!

15/12/2023

We’re so close now, 10 days to go!! 🌲
What I love about Christmas is the opportunity to pause, to breathe and to just be able to spend time with friends and family. It’s a time when we can step away from work and enjoy the company of our nearest and dearest without the everyday interruptions.
For me I love getting together with our neighbours for the traditional Christmas drinks and the Christmas day dog walks with our 2 golden retrievers – if we have snow (I can dream) then that makes it extra special.
