Last Wednesday, Event Merchandising celebrated its 40^th anniversary and MD Jeremy Goldsmith’s 50^th!

It’s been an incredible four decades and Event is proud to have hosted some incredible moments in history. From the music events to expanding and branching out into the world of global omnichannel retail success, current clients include UEFA and James Bond 007.

Amidst the business (and busy-ness) of client meetings, summer festivals and other live events, the office managed to get out into the sunshine for a couple of hours. All enjoyed pizza, Champagne and tiramisu at a nearby London pizzeria.

The whole team enjoyed the scorching 26-degree weather, including our “Bond Girl” Dannielle from the 007 office!

After many slices of wood-fired pizza, speeches were made by Paul, Jeremy and founder, Martin Goldsmith. Jeremy retold how he left his 13^th birthday party and Bar Mitzvah to attend the iconic Live Aid as made possible by none other than Event Merchandising back in 1985.

Having reminisced, pored over a photo album of Jeremy (pre-EML career) and caught some rays outside with dessert, everyone headed back to work (and another slice of cake) feeling refreshed, relaxed and ready to drive Event into an exciting new era!

Jeremy Goldsmith and Event Merchandising – a very happy birthday to you both.

At Event Merchandising we’re excited to celebrate the summer and the many festivals that come with it! First up, we have HOG Rally Portoraz (9th-12th June) showcasing the newest and shiniest Harley Davidson models. 

Carfest celebrates its 10th anniversary this year at its North and South ventures in July and August respectively. Named the UK’s largest family fundraising festival in the UK, this is so much more than a 7-day festival for petrol geeks!

Carfest North in Bolesworth, Chester from 18th-25th July and Carfest South at Laverstoke Park Farm in Basingstoke (23-29 August) both look forward to performances from Rag ‘n’ Bone Man, Paloma Faith, the Bob Marley Revival and many more besides.

Cambridge Club Festival (8th – 13th June) and Strawberries & Creem (15th -20th June) will take place in the same iconic and historic city. For The Cambridge Club, expect names including Diana Ross, The Jacksons, Nile Rodgers and Chic, Level 42 and Corinne Bailey Rae, complete with street food, family-friendly areas like the Imagination Station or after-dark DJs at the Party Time Continuum.

Sail GP goes international in Plymouth, Denmark, France and Spain, and Noughty Nineties lands in from Brighton 25th – 29th August for a taste of nostalgic vintage pop and garage.
