Delivering a High-Impact End-of-Year Awards Ceremony

Each year, our client goes big to celebrate their success and 2025 was no exception. Rather than hosting a traditional Christmas party, this offshore financial investment company brings its entire global team back to the UK for a dedicated end-of-year awards ceremony. The event is designed to recognise performance, celebrate achievements, and reflect on the year’s results.

From the outset, this was about creating a statement event, one that matched the scale of the business and the success being celebrated.

Venue Sourcing & Early Planning

Our involvement began well before production design. With the client based overseas, we supported them with full venue sourcing, shortlisting three suitable venues and preparing detailed proposals for each. We worked closely with venue teams to assess capacity, technical feasibility, guest experience, and overall fit for the brief.

As part of this process, members of the Beagle team attended menu tastings on the client’s behalf, sampling food and feeding back recommendations. This was not only useful for a client working overseas but was also great fun for us too! The final choice was The Peninsula London, a stunning property and a standout venue for an event of this calibre.

A One-Team Approach

The Peninsula proved to be a fantastic partner throughout. Rather than working in silos as “venue” and “production company,” we adopted a true one-team approach. Everyone pulled in the same direction, tackling challenges collaboratively as they arose. That level of synergy is invaluable on a project of this scale.

Event Design & Technical Delivery

The event itself was centred around a large-scale stage build with a striking, high-gloss black finish. Achieving this level of finish is no small task and the end result looked exceptional.
The technical specification reflected the ambition of the event, including:

• Large high-resolution 2.6mm LED video wall
• Barco screen management system
• WATCHOUT media server
• Sony 4K cameras
• Robe moving lights
• BarnColour fibre transmission system
• NEXO STM line array audio system
• Avolites D9 lighting desk
• GreenGo comms system
• Acme Tornado lighting effects

Every element was carefully integrated to deliver a polished, high-impact production that supported both the company content and live entertainment.

The Toaster Platform Reveal

One of the most memorable elements of the stage design was a “toaster platform” reveal – imagine a slice of toast popping out of a toaster but instead revealing the CEO as the main host of the evening. A high-pressure moment, and one that had to be executed flawlessly.

Before proposing the idea to the client, members of the Beagle team travelled to Hull to view the platform in person, take measurements, understand its mechanics, and ensure it could be safely and effectively integrated into the show. We wanted to be fully prepared, confident, and experienced before putting the concept forward. It was a bold creative moment, and a lot of fun to test, but most importantly, it worked perfectly on the night.

On-Site Delivery & Team Management

The scale of delivery was significant. Over three days, we operated with a team of around 100 people per day, covering build, show, overnight operation, and de-rig.
To manage this, we had our Senior Leadership Team on site, overseeing logistics, welfare, and operational flow. A dedicated producer managed all talent and entertainment, which we also sourced, booked, and contracted in-house, ensuring performers were supported from arrival to final performance. This structure allowed everything to run smoothly, even under the pressure of long hours and tight turnaround times.

The Peninsula London

In one of our most ambitious projects to date, Beagle Create was honoured to deliver a spectacular event for a leading international financial advisory company at the prestigious Peninsula Hotel in London. This was a bold brief for a bold business.

From securing the venue to executing every detail, our team worked tirelessly to turn the client’s vision into reality. With just three months from concept to completion, a remarkably short timeline for a project of this scale, we rose to the challenge.

The process began with a clear understanding of the client’s brief. We developed concepts, visuals, and ideas that were swiftly approved. Our team handled everything from organising the bar and a dynamic choreographed dance routine for the opening sequence to custom centrepieces and coordinating a show-stopping illusionist performance. This culminated in the CEO appearing magically before the audience – bold, creative, and unforgettable.

From finding the perfect venue to booking the event ballroom and securing accommodations for guests, we ensured every detail was thoughtfully managed to create a truly unforgettable experience. By taking the lead on securing The Peninsula London, we guaranteed a setting that not only aligned with the client’s vision but also reflected the prestige and scale of the event. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, showcasing Beagle Create at its finest.

This event exemplifies what Beagle Create does best: taking a vision and elevating it with creativity, precision, and flawless execution. It was hard work, but the results were worth it. A huge thank you to everyone involved for making this landmark event an extraordinary success.

Micebook Awards Ceremony

We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Micebook, specialists in conferences, events, meetings, and more, for the prestigious Micebook Awards. They approached us for our expertise in delivering exceptional award ceremonies and event coordination, and we were excited to be a part of this exceptional event.

The ceremony took place in June at the luxurious Landmark in London, a truly stunning venue that is celebrating it’s 125th anniversary this year. It was a brilliant showcase of collaboration between our team and Micebook’s show coordinators and producers. Together, we delivered a seamless production featuring back-to-back videos and a beautifully crafted backdrop. The concept and design was rooted in the client’s vision, Beagle Create brought it to life with our creative touch, utilising our products in innovative ways to maximise it’s impact.

This event marks the beginning of a strong partnership between us and Micebook. It was a fantastic opportunity that not only highlighted our capabilities but also gave Beagle Create valuable exposure within the industry.

Conference and Awards Ceremony

Our Client, provide some of the world’s most advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions with a skilled workforce of 93,100 people in around 40 countries. They chose Beagle Create to produce their annual leadership conference and the first following some exciting restructuring and acquisitions.

There would be multiple days of presentations with detailed slides and bold videos all closed with an awards ceremony. They wanted something impactful that didn’t give their delegates presentation fatigue and brought this yearly event back with a bang.

Held at The Grove Hotel – London’s Country Estate, we were challenged with transforming the event space so that 200 delegates could all see the slides and video content. We designed a solution which not only delivered uncompromised views for every delegate but cut through the abundance of natural light flooding into the amber suite.

A 22-metre (roughly the length of two London busses) high-res super widescreen LED video wall was installed. It included three straight sections of LED, all linked with curved sections cunningly molded behind the pillars.  Everyone could see everything, with ease – mission accomplished.

Since this event was their 1st business anniversary as the new Digital Intelligence brand, they were open to rethinking the format of their awards evening and Beagle Create offered up an experience of how things might flow better for them and deliver a better experience to their guests.

After a long day and a large meal, we wanted to bring the energy levels up, ready for the awards ceremony so we commissioned a 5-piece LED drumming flashmob to perform. They were not only loud, visually stunning and slightly strange to look at, but interacted with the audience and closed their act to a huge round of applause.

A Night to Remember for a Finance Company

This financial advisory firm is based all over the globe and supports individuals in meeting medium and long-term financial goals.

They came to us with one ambition: give their team the best night of their life!

This included probably one of the best requests we’ve ever had – their CEO wanted to be flown over his guests before landing on stage.

The awards ceremony, held in Grosvenor House Hotel, London, began with an opulent Champagne reception for the 500 guests. This was followed by a seven-course meal with roaming close up entertainers circulating tables. Comedian Jimmy Carr had everyone in histerics (with the occasional ouch) and our opening sequence included a bespoke performance by a ultra-violet aerial hoop act, acrobatics, a stunning dance troop and framed perfectly by a Beagle lighting, laser, special effects & graphics production.

Once the CEO had made his spectacular entrance and presented the awards, the after party got started with performances from Girls International and rugby legend James Haskell Djing with dancing continuing into the early hours.

We were responsible for every detail of the event from booking the talent, lighting, staging, set and providing the LED video screen to organizing custom centrepieces for the tables.

With panto season in full swing, and only two weeks notice, sourcing the required equipment for the flying stunt was challenging – but one we smashed with our awesome partners in crime and leaning on some long term relationships.

Hybrid Awards Ceremony

This international finance company required a hybrid awards ceremony for hundreds of in-person attendees as well as many more around the world watching via a live stream.

The prestigious event was held at Aqua The Shard, London, an impressive venue that comes with some unique challenges. We overcame them and received one of the best compliments you can hope for in this industry.

This financial company required a hybrid awards ceremony with guests in-person, that would also be streamed to virtual attendees internationally. They wanted something impressive and chose to host it at Aqua The Shard in London.

The client is based abroad and wouldn’t be in the country leading up to the event. After the initial brief we had minimal contact with the client – the logistics, plan and details were in our hands.

We were happy to take on all in-person responsibilities so the planning could go ahead. In their absence we chose the menus, arranged the food tasting with the venue and took care of every detail, down to the flowers and branded bar coasters.

The Shard – although a fantastic venue – did come with its challenges. There is very minimal storage space and limited access to the building. Naturally with such a prestigious venue there were rules to follow. We had tight build times and ‘tools-down’ intervals of four hours. Even the shape of The Shard can be challenging to work with as it isn’t square or symmetrical.

Renault Arkarna Car Launch

Ignition – Renault’s training partner – needed a covid-safe product launch that would live up to the innovative Arkana. Despite not having any in-person attendees and having limited studio space we delivered with an engaging and impactful virtual event. Read how below.

Ignition are a multi-award-winning specialist automotive agency, counting Renault UK as one of their client partners. They asked us to work with us to produce the UKJ product launch of Renault’s all new Arkana, voted UK’s Best Hybrid Car (when/by whom).

The event took place during covid restrictions which meant we were challenged with how to create an engaging product launch without having any in-person attendees.

To achieve a covid-safe product launch we worked closely with the Ignition team to create an interactive virtual event. It would be streamed live to the Renault dealer network so viewers could ask questions from home and have them answered in real-time – as if they were there in person.

During the event the car would be presented via a live stream to a virtual audience. Part of our remit was to design the studio this would take place in. It needed to be attractive for the viewers at home and deliver a dynamic look and feel; matching up to the innovative product Ignition were presenting.

We needed to come up with a solution which would deliver for the viewers and logistically work in Ignition’s chosen location of the Concept Building at Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire. Taking into account social distancing for our team, presenters and clients, we needed to plan to the millimeter. We did this prior to the event using our CAD software and from this produced photographic-like visuals for our client to truly see what we can achieve for them.

The livestream took place three times a day over three days – and simply nothing could go wrong once we were live. But some careful planning, a few site visits, a team effort from us, our client Ignition and the venue and we were there.

The result was an impressive virtual event that showcased Renault’s all new product to the public, despite restrictions, in an interactive and engaging way.
