Events Company Launches New Online Presence
A Preston-based event and conference management firm is celebrating the launch of its “future-proofed” online presence, as it gets set for continued growth.
Events Northern Ltd commissioned Chorley-based Thomas Cole Internet Solutions to develop a new “cutting edge” website, with functionality built in to enable it to grow and be developed as the business continually moves forward.
Having worked with Events Northern previously, Thomas Cole already had a good relationship with the company, and after showing they could develop a custom-built site to fit the needs of the events company, the deal was sealed.
Becki Cross, Managing Director for Events Northern, was delighted with the end result, which she claims has surpassed all expectations. She also found the development process extremely smooth, explaining:
“We had very specific ideas about how we wanted the website to look and what we needed it to do, including incorporating online bookings for forthcoming public events and integrating social media including Twitter, Facebook and the Company blog. Thomas Cole were absolutely fantastic throughout. Nothing was too much trouble.”
“Questions that I asked were answered quickly and the team were proactive in suggesting ideas that might work for us. I was impressed that they had really thought through how the website would work for us now and could develop in the future”, she added.
Events Northern provides event solutions and registration management services from conception through to implementation. Since setting up in 2004, Events Northern has arranged numerous conferences, ranging from focus groups for 10 people, through to conferences for over 1,200 people.
The firm has also organised outdoor public music concerts and sporting events for up to 6,000 visitors, gala dinners and awards, road shows, exhibitions and golf tournaments.
