About Us

Don’t just expect MDA to meet your needs, but to exceed them.

For more than a quarter of a century, we’ve been designing, planning and delivering the finest live events.

If you need to build a conference, exhibition, gala dinner, product launch, fund raising event

or awards’ presentation, you will find us creative, professional, attentive and easy to work with.

We will become part of your team, approaching every project with inventive thinking, respect and meticulous attention to detail.

Michael’s been creating events since the time before the Internet and is still at the forefront of the art. From small, intimate resource development events to 400 delegate 7 day sabbaticals on foreign shores, he knows how to deliver the goods. When he does get a moment's break he drives a 400 bhp BMW in the CSCC championship.

Project lead Grace is one of those people you easily underestimate on first acquaintance. As quiet as Clint Eastwood’s ‘Man with no name’ she carries the same steely glare. One look can wither a supplier into sorting any ‘challenge’. She splits her free time between being a ski instructor, (helping yet more people to avoid falling down) and as a Pilates instructor (so helping them to be flexible). Both good principles for dealing with events!

Charlie has been helping with MDA since he was twelve, he now manages the logistics for all our events and works closely with our third party AV suppliers to ensure a seamless installation and derig. He’s so versatile he holds his Heavy Goods Vehicle Licence and can be found driving our truck to events then at the weekend he races a 300bhp VW Polo. (Sponsorship opportunities always available!) Apparently its faster than our white van - but only just.

Venue finding

We specialise in finding the right venue in the right location to ensure the success of your event. Our in-depth knowledge and longstanding relationships mean that we draw on our experience to book the right location to suit the story being told. Whilst researching and sourcing the suitable space we always take into consideration the production elements making sure that it will fulfil your expectations.

Event planning

As an integral part of your event you will have on hand an event manager and director to help you through the whole process from planning, to staging, to post event. They will be on hand to meet at any time leading up to the event. We believe that successful events are built on positive relationships. A lot of our event planning goes unnoticed and that is just the way it should be.

Creative

Without creativity you become formulaic and that is not our way. We like to build uniqueness into every event and adore the challenge when asked to do something a little different. Covering the columns in the highest bar in the world in chocolate perhaps? Making a room smell of the client’s product? How about turning an entire warehouse into a darkroom for a lighting launch? Throughout the process we apply our creative team for the best branding solutions, to communicate your values and bring life to a venue.

Supplier management

From digital media production, catering to cleaning, furniture to carpet, musicians to magicians, lighting to projection we have a network of contacts who we have worked with for many years. Partner companies have been selected on their professionalism, reliability, consistency and being able to deliver to the same exacting standards and solutions, to communicate your values and bring life to a venue.

Never fall in love with an idea. They’re whores. If the one you’re with isn’t doing the job, there’s always another.

Portfolio

 No photograph capturing a moment in time can give the full flavour of an event lasting hours, or even days, but here is a sample of what we do. A better option is to let us take a look at your brief and produce a proposal. There is no charge for this and it provides real insight into our thoroughness and capabilities.

WE WILL MAKE YOUR BRAND FLY

Look at some photos of corporate events and the happy faces could be working for any company, anywhere. We will transform the venue to represent your brand and make sure its in the mind (and photos) of your attendees.

We’re Punctual

This seems obvious, but it’s amazing how many times we get told agencies can be a bit lackadaisel with the clock. We are the opposite. You’ll find us at the venue before everyone else and there after everyone else.

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

With 25 years of experience we’ve done it all, from helicopters into Monaco to the highest bar in the world in Hong Kong. Don’t be afraid to relate your wildest dreams.

THIS IS PERSONAL

Working with us isn’t just a business transaction, for us it’s personal. We have a genuine concern about doing the best job for you that we can

We’re responsible

We know budgets aren’t starting points. We don’t price projects low in the hope of adding extras. You will only be charged for what you have asked for, nothing on the invoice should surprise you.

We're Friendly

Events are exactly that, a special activity out of the normal workflow. It should be a good experience for everyone and working with a team who are patient and friendly makes a big difference.
