Case study:
CEMEs like a good idea
Academic venue makes the grade with Christmas party graduation
CEME was
established in 2003 as
part of a £400m regeneration
programme in East London with the
task of bringing prosperity and
employment to the area via the
regeneration of the manufacturing,
engineering and technology sector. Since
that time the venue has made waves in the
events industry. With capacity for up to
350 delegates, CEME is a player in
the burgeoning academic
venues sector.

Case Study
A Corporate Christmas Party
was held at CEME by The
London School of Academics,
which booked one of CEME’s
Classic Winter Wonderland
Christmas parties. The school
wanted to combine it with its
student Graduation evening.
The request needed CEME’s
events team to be able to
combine the delivery of high
quality festive hospitality with a
carefully staged and
choreographed, awards
evening.
Over 150 students graduating
from the School were presented
with their certifi cates and were
still able to participate in an
evening of fi ne festive fayre and
experience the dancing,
entertainment and partying of
the Winter Wonderland themed
Christmas evening.
Ranjith Kumar, events
manager at CEME, explained:
“Because the Christmas parties
are so full-on with a tight
programme for the meal service
and entertainment schedule,
accommodating the awards
ceremony as part of the
evening’s celebration required
exact timings and full
compliance from everyone in the
events team. Exceeding our
customer’s expectations is one
of CEME’s values, so, of course,
all the team were exceptional in
ensuring the very best service to
every guest making the evening
a huge success.”
The client booked again and
demonstrated that CEME’s
commitment to the highest
standards of event service and
customer care provide ‘an
assurance of excellence’ with all
the hundreds of events that they
deliver every year.
