'...key events in the corporate calendar'
At Best of British Events, we pride ourselves on creating memorable experiences for our clients and their guests. From the quality of our celebrity speakers, to the standard of the food and service levels at our premier hotel partners, we have our guests’ experience front of mind in all we do.
Whilst continuing to showcase the very best in British sporting talent, we have been fortunate to work with the likes of Dame Judi Dench, Samantha Bond, Colin Salmon & David Dimbleby as we move beyond solely putting on sporting legends at our events. Watch out for many more stars of stage & screen (and sport of course!) in the coming years. Our special guest speakers, including sporting heroes such as Mike Tindall MBE, Kevin Keegan, Frank Bruno, Phil Tufnell and Jon Barnes, will always make our events an even more memorable experience for your guests. British sporting legends (sadly no longer with us) Sir Henry Cooper AND Gordon Banks shared the stage at our very first event in 2009 and we’ve maintained that level of star studded standard ever since, much to the delight of our returning clients; sponsors and guests.
The vast majority of our events comprise of corporate tables of 10. We very rarely sell individual tickets, nor do we promote or advertise our events to the general public. We are a vehicle for the regional business community to come together for the perfect client hospitality guest experience and therefore senior level networking opportunities at our events are boundless. 90% of our clients will automatically re-book for the following years event without hesitation. Just see what some of our clients have to say on our Testimonials page above.

I have been a BBMC member since the club was launched. It has been a great forum for building relationships with other senior leaders in the business community and it feels like those relationships continue to strengthen. All the Best of British events are well run with engaging speakers and above all great fun. Ryan and the team bring a high level of enthusiasm and positivity to all they do. I am looking forward to many more years to come!
