S
egway Events was established
in 2010 and is the market
leader in Segway experiences
in the UK. Their Development Manager
Lauren Greaves took the time to tell us
more about what they are able to offer.
Involvement
She started by telling us about her
involvement, saying, “I have been
involved in the company for 9 months
as the Business Development Manager.
I was attracted to work for the market
leader of Segway experiences in the UK.
What we have to offer is very exciting,
dynamic and adaptable to every event
type so I was enthusiastic to take on
building relationships with a number of
nationwide and worldwide clients.”
The Role
“The most rewarding aspect of
my role is tailoring the private event
packages to our clients and exceeding
their expectations on its success. It’s

always nice to come in to a number of
positive feedback emails from organisers,
participants and even their own clients
after we have just ran an event.
It is challenging sometimes finding a
way to give the client exactly what they
want or picture ensuring that our health
and safety regulations are fully adhered
to. Health and safety is key to us, all of
our clients must feel safe and confident
to ride. All of our venues and new venues
we work with are risk assessed, all of our
riders are fully insured and all participants
receive 1 on 1 training; with over 150,000
customers safety processed.”
Segway Events
“We were established in 2010 and
are the leaders of Segway experiences in
the UK. We operate across the country
offering gift experiences, Segway rally and
private corporate events at 16 locations
nationwide. Each of our corporate events
are specifically tailored to each client and
we offer a number of bespoke packages.
We can run events for unlimited
numbers of people as well as small
groups for private parties, weddings etc.
We also regularly offer our Segway’s for
media events and have had our fair share
of television appearances, including the
London Paralympic Games and Sky One’s
‘A League of Their Own’.”
Segway Polo
“Segway Polo is one of the games
that we have to offer within our Segway
Events corporate packages. It is a 5 aside
game which is similar to horse polo or
5-a-side football though you play on
Segway’s. The aim of the game is to work
within your team using mallets to get
the ball into the opposing teams net. It
can be a brutal game. It is fast paced and
competitive but good fun and rewarding.
It works brilliantly within our games set
for team building events.”
Taking Part
“Our advice would be to practice on
a Segway first as doing the game on a
