Paloma Faith helps celebrate
25 years of Travel Counsellors
Paloma Faith, Gary Barlow,
Dara Ó Briain and Vernon
Kay provided the evening
entertainment at a 25th
anniversary celebration
held by the Travel
Counsellors at EventCity in
Manchester as part of their
exhibition.
The three-day event was
attended by 2,000 people
from all over the world
and saw business updates,
supplier exhibitions,
breakout speaker sessions
and a gala dinner.
Head of internal events,
MICE and group travel,
Cat Rainey, said: “The
messages and feedback we
have received surrounding
the conference have been
absolutely mind blowing
and we couldn’t have
pulled this off without
each and every member of
the EventCity team – they
were always just a call or
text away. We had last
minute requests which were
handled with such patience
and ease, the team really
did pull out all the stops,
with constant smiles on
their faces!”

After a decade in the
events sector, Rocket
Print and Promotions
has rebranded to
‘reflect the company’s
growth and area of
expertise’.
Founded in 2009,
the company will now
be known as Rocket

The company helps
clients through the
concept, design,
manufacture and
installation of
exhibition stands.
Founder and
managing director,
Noel Reeves, said:
“We’re celebrating
our achievements
over the last decade
by rebranding to
reflect our current
trajectory. Our name
change reflects our
sphere of work and
also comes with more
refined branding,
matching the high
quality our clients
expect.”
The rebrand has
come with a new
website, and the
company is seeking
to grow upon its £1.5
million turnover.
