About Make Events

Founded in 2012 by industry powerhouse Holly Moore, Make Events began with a simple yet ambitious mission: to raise the bar for corporate events and experiences - with creativity, excellence, and heart.

From day one, Make Events set out to craft unforgettable experiences - not only during the event itself but also before and after. Holly’s vision extended to ensuring every client, colleague, supplier, and venue felt valued, cared for, and part of something special. From this passion, a vibrant brand was born.

What began as a bold idea in Manchester has blossomed into one of the UK’s leading events agencies, trusted by the world’s most iconic brands to deliver moments that truly matter. Whether crafting immersive conferences, seamless incentive trips, global brand activations, or unforgettable parties, we create events that cut through the noise and leave lasting impressions.

Our legacy is defined by passion, personal connections, and an obsessive attention to detail. We're recognised not just for our high standards and trusted partnerships but also for a collaborative team culture that brings magic to life. Our producers, creatives, strategists, and operational masterminds each bring unique strengths to the table, united by a commitment to excellence, infectious energy, and making even the most ambitious events seem effortless.
