158 | UK Enterprise Awards 2023 Apr23338 Most Creative Events Agency 2023 - UK & Europe Established in 1986, UKSV is a Creative Communications and Events Agency with a robust ethos and foundation built towards innovation and collaboration. Through the team’s delivery of exceptional live, virtual and hybrid corporate events, alongside video and animation creation, it has cultivated a strong reputation for excellence in the sphere. We spoke with Senior Account Manager Neil Coombes to find out more. “We bring visions to life with no short cuts. Our team is a brilliant family, delivering peace of mind to our clients – exceeding their wildest dreams.” Creativity flourishes within UKSV, cultivated at all tiers of the business – from the leadership team, through all aspects of the company. Its internal culture is built on it and focused to a razor’s edge to deliver and exceed all expectations. Working intersectionality across business sectors and industries, UKSV has built a habit of becoming almost chameleon-like, adapting to the unique needs and requirements of the event in question. For Neil, that is the key to the company’s ongoing success, driven entirely by the expertise and experience of its team. “We see our people as our USP - there are many great events agencies in the UK but we feel we stand out because of the team we have. Our reputation is built on our team - how creative they are, how approachable, how professional etc and that is not just our full time employees. We also have a network of industry freelancers who we have chosen to work with because they reflect the goals and values that we have as an organisation. “As a company we made a conscious decision to remain small by choice - this enables us to remain agile and efficient whilst not being encumbered with big agency bureaucracy so any new employees need to have a tangible benefit to the business. Many of our employees have been with us for over 15 years and we believe this comes down to the environment and culture we have developed at UKSV.” This dedication to the ‘long term’ extends beyond the team itself, and into UKSV’s client base. As Neil eloquently puts it, they are focused on “creating partnerships, not just projects.” Of course, to achieve that, the team are well aware that they need to be able to meet any and all requirements and, in a word, wow the client. From there, the partnership almost builds itself. The event then is crucial, and needs to be engaging, inspirational and unforgettable. No small feat – which certainly speaks volumes on the talent at the heart of the business. “Our company mission is to create engaging live, virtual and hybrid experiences for our client’s audience through inspirational environments and unforgettable content that empowers them to act. Any solution we deliver must have a clear goal otherwise you can have no way of measuring its success. We ensure everything we produce aligns with the overall objectives and most importantly makes a lasting difference. After all, if you don’t think, feel or do anything different afterwards, what was the point? “Our values were developed in conjunction with our clients and our people - not just corporate spin that sounds good on paper! This means our values were lifted straight out of what we do, day in and day out. We believe our values set us apart from our competition and the fact that we have many client relationships that span over 20 years pays testament to that fact.” Neil explains in more detail. So, where does all of that leave UKSV now and looking towards the end of 2023? Well, according to Neil, the company has a plethora of plans in the pipeline, including expansion and a recruitment drive to meet the ever-growing demands of their work. “The next year is looking very promising for us already. Due to the nature of many of the projects and clients we work with, we are already planning activity for 2024 and beyond! Whilst events can move this far out, most clients are keen to start generating interest in their events as soon as possible and want to be able to secure venue space (which is still in high demand) so we are pretty confident 2024 is going to be a big year for us! We’ve expanded our team already to give us the capacity to support the additional work we can see and hope to be able to deliver our best year on record.” Company Name: UKSV Contact Name: Neil Coombes, Senior Account Manager Web Address: www.uksv.co.uk Contact Email : neil@uksv.co.uk Telephone Number: 01425 480444
