Welcome to the World of E&MS
Event and Management Services was created on 1st October 1997 by founding director Pete Allison.
Having spent the previous 16 years since 1981 in the professional touring industry as a lighting designer and latterly a production manager, Pete was approached in 1996 to take on a full event management role for a significant annual event client and also a bi-centenary celebration and conference for an internationally based client, all of which took the business into new and broader territory.
Since then, E&MS has grown and developed, forming into two distinct and separate divisions that operate and present themselves in very different ways. These two divisions we have called:
And
E&MS - Brand Events and Communications
Click on the links above to find out more about the two divisions.
In both cases, we deal with one off or regularly repeating events and are happy to be discussing a small, intimate conference and dinner for 20 in a discreet location or an open air event with lecture theatres, exhibitions and festival styled stages with attendance of up to or in excess of 20,000 people.
If you're a corporate client, engaged in brand styled events, in house communications, experiential marketing, product launches, multi-centred conferencing or other similar events, then please look at our Brand Events and Communications pages where we will tell you how we operate and how we can provide the right, cost and time efficient solutions for your business.
If you are an arts or festival based client, engaged in events that will rely on public ticket sales and you need site, logistics and production expertise to help you plan and deliver the right solution for your guests, sending them home with fantastic memories of a well planned and executed event - whatever the content or timescale, then please look at out Events and Festivals pages where we will tell you how our team of committed and dedicated production staff can bring their wide experience to bear on your behalf.
Our Family of Companies…
E&MS belongs to a family of businesses that play important roles in the technical events industry. We have strategic relationships with these businesses and we can call on them for expert advice and consultation where necessary on our client's behalf.
There are no assumptions made that others in the family of businesses will supply services to our clients as a part of our engagement, however we find that the strategic relationships more commonly help give a depth of specialist understanding in certain complicated areas which then brings a huge benefit to the whole team.
For a wider discussion about the businesses in our family and the specialist suppliers with whom we have strategic relationships that support the specialist areas of our operations, please call us.
The areas which we can offer this consultative advice include:
- Sound Systems
- Stage Lighting
- Audio Visual, projection, LED
- Staging systems
- Health and Safety
- Fire prevention and on site management
- Licensing and Legal
- Stewarding and Security management
- Medical support, planning and cover
