Wimbledon Vs Royal Ascot Wimbledon and Royal Ascot – two heavyweight corporate hospitality events, both quintessentially English, both with plenty of heritage and both prime summer hospitality opportunities – but who would win if they were put in the metaphorical ring?

It was our belated Christmas party last night and there is only one word to describe it - Herculean.

Two teams were formed – the Hairy Bikers (Alex, Tilly, Kelly, Chris, Ben & Sophie) and the Great British Bake Offs (Jo, Nikki, Sam, Dan, Giles and Vicky), aprons were donned, knives sharpened and after a glass of Chapel Down fizz, we entered the kitchen.

Many clients cannot understand why we don’t charge anything for our free venue finding service but it’s really very simple. Pretty much every major venue in the UK pays reputable agents like us a commission for introducing business and given how long it typically takes to find a venue for an offsite or a product launch, it is no surprise why so many companies use AOK Events. It costs nothing and saves hours so it’s a bit of a no brainer so long as we can back the enquiry up with some quality solutions (we have never failed so far).
