Seventa Events

You can hand one agency the venue search, the contract negotiation and the running of the event, and if your site is a beach or a car park roof, it can build the space as well. Seventa Events publishes work ranging from meetings of 10 delegates to a beach reception for 4,000 guests. Its head office is a 20,000 sq ft warehouse in Bournemouth, with a second office at Tobacco Quay in London.

Services

You can buy a single stage of the work or the whole job, so you need not coordinate separate venue, AV and build suppliers.

• Venue sourcing, including rate and contract negotiation. The agency says its teams have visited and worked with thousands of UK venues.
• Conferences, including stage sets, AV, presenter support and accommodation booking.
• Event management, covering design, build and on-site management.
• Event production from an in-house creative team that designs, builds and runs the event.
• Brand activations, designed, built and managed for consumer audiences.
• Event furniture, bars, props and structures for hire through its sister brand, Innovative Hire.

Sectors and clients

You can test the agency’s record against organisations like yours, because its site names most of them. They cover healthcare (Nuffield Health), insurance (LV=), cosmetics (LUSH), higher education (Arts University Bournemouth), local government (Bournemouth Council), housing (Magna Housing), charity fundraising (Ultra White Collar Boxing for Cancer Research UK) and drinks brands (Peroni, Asahi and Rekorderlig). On its venue sourcing page, the director of Ultra Events says Seventa secures venue costs better than the company could get by dealing directly.

Recent work

These pages show you how the agency handles repeat programmes, large conferences and difficult sites. The figures are the agency’s own, and most pages are undated.

• Nuffield Health. Venue sourcing, booking and event management for 30+ locations, with over 320 events since 2016 for between 30 and 2,000 guests.
• LV= Big Event. A two-day event for 1,500 people at Poole Lighthouse, with temporary exhibition stands, 45+ crew and 30+ suppliers. Separately, Seventa has handled LV= meeting bookings since 2011, about 500 a year, through a dedicated inbox with booking requests acknowledged within three hours.
• Ultra White Collar Boxing. Venue sourcing and contract negotiation since 2014 for over 400 events a year in 90 UK locations, seeking charitable rates where possible.
• Arts University Bournemouth graduation. A reception for 4,000 guests in a 50m x 25m marquee on Bournemouth Beach, with Safety Advisory Group meetings and vehicle access limited to two daily windows. Seventa has organised this reception since 2015.
• Skylight London at Tobacco Dock. A concept from Interact Branding and Tobacco Dock, which Seventa built on a derelict car park roof over 10 weeks with a crew of 40, using a 95-tonne crane to lift materials into place.
• Christmas in Bournemouth. A five-year contract from 2025 across the market, rink and gardens. The agency reports footfall of over 5.4 million and a build crew of 75+.

Company

You get a supplier that says it runs its own events across the UK as well as clients’ events, so it should understand the organiser’s side of the job. Its site says it was founded in 2011. Companies House shows Seventa Events Limited (company number 10863014) as active, incorporated on 12 July 2017.

Its CSR page says it reduces or bans single-use plastics and donates leftover catering to food banks or shelters where possible. Its site publishes no rates, minimum project size or industry memberships.

You are dealing with a small core team. The company’s accounts filed at Companies House for the year to 31 March 2025 report an average of 6 people employed each month, directors included, the same as the year before. Its own site gives no head count, and its build case studies cite crews of 40 and 75+, so larger jobs rely on people from outside that core team.

What to ask before you appoint them

• How are venue commissions and the “preferred rates” mentioned in the Nuffield Health case study treated in your quote, and will you see the venue’s own price?
• Can you have the same arrangement as LV=, with a dedicated account manager, a dedicated inbox and a three-hour response target, and what does it cost?
• If your event falls in November or December, who works on it while the team is also delivering Christmas in Bournemouth?
• For an outdoor site, will Seventa prepare the event management plan and attend the Safety Advisory Group, as it did for the Arts University Bournemouth graduation?
• With 6 people employed by Seventa Events Limited, who would form your crew on the day, and are they staff of a sister brand such as Innovative Hire or freelancers?
• Which current clients of your size can give you a reference, given that many case studies carry no date?
