Founded back in 2000, we have grown into one of the largest and best-known event management companies. With 23 years of experience, we guarantee an unrelenting enthusiasm for delivering every single event, as if it were the most important event in the world.
Every single time.
Our Story
AOK Events was founded in 2000 by Alex Hewitt, who had spent the previous 10 years working for other event agencies. With Jo Greenstock and Simon Hanbury, they set up shop in a tiny, stiflingly hot office in Hammersmith and initially concentrated on being a corporate hospitality broker, but client demand meant they very quickly fledged into the full-service event management company that we still are today.
OUR TEAM
Our team is our most valuable asset and we really believe that genuinely enjoying what we do shows in our work and sets us apart.
OUR VALUES
Every single member of our brilliant team lives and breathes these values day in, day out. We have created a unique culture at AOK Events that we are enormously proud and protective of – it’s what really sets us apart from our peers in the industry and receiving the recognition that we are officially A Great Place To Work was proof that we have got them absolutely spot on. We bring these values to every single event and try our hardest to align them against those of our clients too.

GIVING BACK
INTRODUCING THE ‘MUH’ FUND
We launched the ‘Make Unforgettable Happen Fund’ as a brand new initiative, focusing on making unforgettable moments happen for amazing initiatives, put forward by YOU. By allocating £500 each month, our aim is to support as many teams, individuals, start-ups or charities across the UK as possible.
DON’T IGNORE THE ELEPHANT PODCAST
AOK Events sponsor the ‘Don’t Ignore the Elephant’ podcast, hosted by Dr Liz O’Riordan as part of our commitment to promote good wellbeing. It’s a podcast designed to help people face difficult topics from anxiety, body image, the menopause and dealing with grief. Hopefully, by introducing the podcast to the widest possible audience, it encourages people to talk about their ‘elephants’
WEIRSIDE RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB
As part of our promise to give back, AOK Events proudly sponsor Weirdside Rangers, Est.1919, an FA Charter Standard Football Club based in Teddington. With our support we are hoping they make it to the Premier League!
WANDSWORTH FOOD BANK
Last Christmas, we donated £1000 to Wandsworth food bank – check out the link below to see how you can help too!
