Beaconhouse Events, a leading corporate events agency based in Newcastle upon Tyne, has announced the addition of eight new major clients to the agency’s extensive portfolio since the beginning of the year and have welcomed three more full-time team members to support their growth.
New clients include Newcastle Building Society, North of Tyne Combined Authority, Newcastle Carers and international client CF Fertilisers. The announcement comes on the back of BeaconHouse’s goal to grow their portfolio by 25 percent in 2023 following major client wins in 2022, including Fenwick, Bridgestone and a new delivery model with Great Run Company.
BeaconHouse Events has already began delivering work with their new clients, creating two customer events and an annual general meeting in April for Newcastle Building Society and the ‘Good to Grow’ event in partnership with North of Tyne Combined Authority in May, with the latter attracting over 150 business leaders to discuss what doing good business really means. Future delivery will include a celebration for adults, children and young people who care for a loved one in partnership with Newcastle Carers, a two-day community conference with No Code North East for makers and platforms to showcase, learn, and play and a series of staff engagement events across 2023/24 with CF Fertilisers.
BeaconHouse are also working with teams at Dynamo and Sunderland Software City to bring to life TechNExt, a major new week-long festival created to champion and promote the North East’s blossoming tech sector
Recent wins for the agency also include a 3-day conference for a national oral and dental research society, taking place in autumn 2024.
In 2022 the agency saw a 32 percent increase in turnover through a mix of in person, digital and hybrid events for their impressive client portfolio. Sustainability and ESG strategy will form a key pillar of the 2023 work with the team at BeaconHouse Events continuing to support ambitious North East businesses across the emerging tech, education, innovation, architecture, healthcare and creative arts sectors.
Sarah Thackray, co-founder and director at BeaconHouse Events said, “We are an ambitious agency with a client portfolio which stretches across the whole of the UK. The beginning of 2023 has been incredibly busy as we work towards our ambition of a 25 percent increase in revenue this year and we are delighted to welcome new faces to the team as we continue to achieve our goal.
“Post-pandemic we have seen an increase in clients looking for innovative, modern event solutions to engage with their internal teams and stakeholders. Our rapid growth means that we have scaled our team, bringing in new talent to the agency to cope with the rise in demand. Since the beginning of 2023 we have welcomed two new project co-ordinators, as well as an office manager to support delivery of our busy portfolio.
“Earlier this year we were proud to be awarded the Good Work Pledge from North of Tyne Combined Authority. This award recognises our efforts to be a fair employer, our commitment to staff health and wellbeing and our demonstration of social responsibility in the region. We have some incredible projects in the pipeline this year and these ambitious plans will mean more opportunities for new talent to join the BeaconHouse team. The talent in our regional freelance community is fantastic and we are always looking to speak to resourceful and trusted people to partner with us.”
“The launch of our ESG strategy will form the backbone of our future growth. This action plan includes steps to reduce carbon emissions by 5 per cent year on year, with the aim to be a carbon neutral business by the end of 2027 alongside supply chain engagement, research into sustainably sourcing materials, digital solutions to limit single-use print and staff training to upskill the team on the future of events both in-person and online. The inclusion of financial resilience was important to us as a team, without a robust business model you simply don’t have the capacity, skills or resource to invest back into the wider community. Everything that we have planned works in tandem with our growth plans for the coming years and allows us to support our clients to achieve both their business ambitions, while supporting them to reach their own ESG goals too.”
