Ofcom

We have become, over the last 4 years, a complete one-stop shop for OFCOM, helping them to realise their events throughout Wales.  From one-off events to multiple roadshows, we continue to deliver.

With the events often held in high profile public buildings and areas of high security, we have become extremely adept at working in difficult scenarios ensuring that the public, venue, stakeholders and clients all have the best experience.  All the events are bi-lingual and include the simultaneous translation.

"A professional and polished event from Push4 again.  Thank you for another hitch-free event last week"  Meleri Thomas, External Relationships Executive, OFCOM

BioWales and Innovation Into Action

We were appointed as event managers in the delivery of 2 exciting project within the Wales Innovation Week, funded by WAG.  The project involved Twin exhibition, conference, seminar and brokerage events held over two days.  The purpose of the events was to encourage and facilitate technology transfer within Welsh businesses and academia.

Innovation Into Action, the first and only event to present innovation in Wales to world-class companies and investment partners, showcased inventors and Welsh technical innovators seeking backing and attracted approximately 350 visitors. Biowales, which is the only event of its kind in Wales focusing on bioscience opportunities, involved a conference for 400 delegates and featured a world class line-up of speakers

For the delivery of this project, we liaised with the venues, designed and created an event website with online registration facilities, co-ordinated over 50 exhibitors and facilitated their stand, furniture and presentation requirements.  Over 1200 potential delegates were invited, reminded, attendance confirmed and pre event information issued via email.

Delegate management also involved the design and production of 2 exhibitor brochures, collation of delegate lists and agendas, production and collation of 800 delegate bags and 975 delegate and speaker badges with lanyards. A fully staffed registration desk was provided with bilingual staff and the ability to produce delegate badges for additional visitors.  We designed all event branding with multiple roller banner and pop up displays. 

PR was handled by ourselves, both pre and post event, ensuring maximum coverage in local and national industry publications, event photography, and TV film crew (BBC's Dragons Den) liaison.

We also coordinated the audio visual aspects and liaised fully with all contract suppliers including caterers and printers, as well as conference participants such as speakers and brokerage facilitators.

‘Staff at Push4 are all very professional and were able to accommodate any changes effortlessly and to a high standard. They are very personable and I wouldn't hesitate to use them for future events.'

Picture Financial

Picture Financial was a new company set up in 2004, and was formed by an extremely experienced and respected team in the finance and loans industry.  Investors in the City believed enough in the Picture Financial team and business plan for it to be given the largest financial backing package ever.

We were first approached by Picture Financial to co-ordinate their delegate's entertainment for their launch event.  The event which was under ''The Picture Premier'' banner was a huge success.

Since then, Picture Financial have proved themselves, creating a market leading company in their sector and have continued to use us on an ever-increasing basis - from continuing to use us for their delegate entertainment to organising team building days for the 170 staff.  

The team building days involves creating a bespoke day that reinforces the company's values culminating in an awards ceremony and dinner with the showing of a video that was shot and edited on that day. 

 "When organising an event of this size and importance it was great to have the reassurance of such a fantastic team" Caroline Powell, Head of Customer Services, Picture Financial

"I just wanted to say a MASSIVE and HUGE thanks to all of your team for Thursday night.

It was the best event Confused.com has ever seen...

A special thanks to Kieron - I've heard nothing but praise for him and I must say on every occasion I've met him he's been the consummate professional . The amount of personal energy and dedication he put in to the event was impressive. I really felt like he cared and he wanted it to be just as amazing as we did and that goes far in the client/agency relationship. All credit to him. I know there were lots more people that made it happen (big thanks to Alistair and Becky too and anyone else who I'm not aware of by name) and it was great to see some old faces, especially Lisa! I couldn't believe how many people were running around on Thursday evening making it all come to life. It was pretty impressive and we're all hugely grateful.

Loved working with you guys again (albeit from a distance) it was nice to have the event in safe pair of hands.

So, thinking caps on for next year?!

Thanks again, loving your work. Here's to many more Push4/Confused.com events!"

Millennium stadium

We have worked closely with The Millennium Stadium since 2004.  Just after Christmas in 2004, Paul Sergeant, Chief Executive of the stadium, asked us to work in partnership with them to produce a benefit concert in aid of the Far East Tsunami victims. The result was 'Tsunami Relief', the largest and fastest organised concert ever held in the UK post Live Aid.

In three weeks, we put together an artist line-up and produced a world-beating benefit concert featuring Eric Clapton, Keane, Snow Patrol, The Manic Street Preachers, Feeder, Katherine Jenkins, Lemar and Jools Holland amongst many others.

"Push4 were able to turn round a full production stadium show calmly and professionally for an audience of 61,000 people without a hitch in 3 weeks. Impressive!"

Oakwood

Oakwood Amusement Park, based in Carmarthen, is Wales's largest tourist attraction.  On a busy day, Oakwood can see over 10,000 people through its doors!

As part of Oakwood's entertainment they have strived to provide shows and live entertainment of the very best quality, from Pantomimes to Halloween shows and not forgetting the massive summer showcase where they run ''Oakwood after dark''.  Visitors get to experience the rides in the dark as well as having spectacular themed indoor and outdoor shows culminating in a massive fireworks display.

Since its beginning we have always been an integral part of Oakwood's entertainment.  From giant mirror balls, to retro 70's disco effects to huge sound systems to stunning outdoor lighting, lasers writing on the clouds, dancing water fountains, projected visuals onto water screens, skateboarding display teams ..... the list of amazing things that we have brought to Oakwood goes on and on. 

"We will always use Push4 for our technical requirements as their personnel always excel in attention to detail and customer service."

Corus

In 2005, after a number of major incidents, Corus had found themselves with major attitude, managerial and operational issues.

We were initially approached in September 2005 to create an event for the entire 5000 staff to start the process of change, but after further discussions it was decided that attitudes needed to be changed from the top down, eventually cascading to all 5000 staff. This was achieved through producing an internal communication event aimed at the senior and middle management. This initial event was so well received that we were contracted to facilitate a further 60 similar events to all staff, sub contractors and trade unions over the next 8 months.

"The Journey", as it was nicknamed is now coming into its third year with us recently (Septmeber 2007) organising a finale event for over 700 staff members to celebrate the point in which Corus had reached - celebrating success!

"Absolutely awesome management of a complicated event - 100% off feedback has been positive - people are buzzing! Can't speak highly enough of every single person involved.

I know the amount of planning, logistics and hard work that went in to make everything go seamlessly.... transportation to the branding to the screen show presentations and the auditorium set. It surpassed my expectations. The feedback we've had has been tremendously positive and people feel it was a major boost to our ‘journey' We have succeeded in re-energising people through celebrating success and recognising the challenges ahead... but not without you!"

Intertissue

With just over 2 week's notice, Push4 were asked by Neath based paper mill Intertissue to assist with their 3 events in celebration of the opening of their new factory.  As well as a gala evening held at the Orangery in Margam Park, a formal ribbon cutting ceremony, senior management presentation and family fun day was held at their 320,000 square meter site on the Briton Ferry Industrial Estate in September.

The factory was opened by the Leader of Neath Port Talbot Council, Derek Vaughan and attended by over 300 invited guests, many of whom had flown in from Italy for the occasion. 

The event was a great success with Chris Perry, Commercial Managing Director saying "The team at Push4 have really pulled it out of the hat for Intertissue. 3 Weeks ago the task looked immense but with your help it turned out to be memorable event which left a fantastic impression on all our guests. Thanks for a great event!"

Ethicon Endo Surgery (Johnson & Johnson)

In 2007 Ethicon Endo Surgery asked us to produce an awards ceremony and party in the main foyer of the National Museum of Wales.  The natural elegance and grace of the building mixed with our creative vision made the evening one to remember ...

Following this success, in 2008 Ethicon Endo Surgery approached us again this time to produce a complete week of event for their annual sales conference.  The conference was taking place in Jersey and entailed a week of conferences, seminars, team building events culminating in the awards ceremony.

We pulled together a core team consisting of Production Manager, Support Staff and Camera Crew and after initial meetings with Ethicon Endo Surgery agreed on the brief.

Part of the brief consisted of filming an initial video before the event. Due to the size of Ethicon Endo surgery it was impractical to send the crew around the world instead with a generous amount of ‘blue screen' work the world came to us.

A small team of Push4 travelled to Jersey to manage the week's events and made use of local suppliers where possible to provide the most cost efficient solution for the clients event needs. The local suppliers were constantly supervised by our staff to ensure and maintain the quality of the work.

The finale to the week was accomplished by transforming the great hall into a Grecian haven and the client and guests partied until two in the morning.

We hope to be able to work with Ethicon Endo Surgery again next year and look forward to the new challenges set by them.
