A 20 Year Landmark Reached

The Finishing Touch was 20 years old on 1st April 2009, a truly fantastic landmark and one that we are all very proud of. Managing Director Mel Atkins says "It's an incredible achievement and very hard to believe that it has been twenty years. There are so many memorable events that we have staged and it is almost impossible to capture the highlights. Certainly the amazing Summer Balls that we staged in the late 90's using large marquee structures at stately venues will always stand out. We have staged events in every corner of the United Kingdom and in most countries in Europe. We have witnessed so many changes and considerable growth in the Events Industry and we are very proud to have played a leading role in this. Here's to many more years of successful events."

Malaysia's Capital Kuala Lumpar

The Finishing Touch is delighted to have been selected and awarded to manage an international regional conference in Kuala Lumpur for a global client.

The worldwide event for their globally based senior personnel, takes place at the end of April 2009, which encompasses on-site management, air logistics, transfers, offsite dinners and of course no visit to Kuala Lumpur is complete unless you have experienced the Petronas Towers! An exciting destination that offers measurable cost efficiencies, excellent flight access and an ever expanding portfolio of hotels and dining options.

This month we are loving Andaz

Liverpool Street, being the funky corner of London, provides the perfect backdrop for ‘this sleek, contemporary design hotel with an arty, edgy vibe’. The quirkiness that defines Andaz begins in the Living Room (the lobby) where there is no reception desk, instead guests are met with hosts armed with portable computers making check in a relaxing affair. This casual luxury combining the best of contemporary with that of a 5 star can be found in every detail.
