Thousands of events between us.

The Event Team grew out of TriEvents, and out of a group of people who couldn't leave events alone. Seven years on we deliver ten events a year and around 45,000 participants.

Our values

To present a great event, we act on four things.

Integrity

Honesty, good character and cohesion.

Adaptability

In events not everything goes to plan — and that's okay. We will find a solution.

Leadership

We don't follow what others do. We lead from the front and bring your event the attention it deserves.

Teamwork

We become an extension of your team and act in the best interests of the whole team.

The team

Who you'll actually work with.

With thousands of combined event experiences, we can help you plan and deliver anything from boutique brand activations to mass-participation sporting events.
