This is a double celebration as it marks the completion of the build and the first Scape Venture project with the client. With over 120 VIP clients in attendance, this event was used to showcase the project and bring in new business.

An unmissable opportunity to have a sneak peek at this modern, interactive new Visitor Centre, which will be a gateway to the legendary home of Robin Hood and the historic Sherwood Forest.

The Event:

Centred around the Robin Hood theme with The Robin Hood and his outlaws alongside a minstrel cart providing atmospheric music.  Food was a rustic spit roast and potatoes with a pop-up bar for refreshments.  The event ended with an impressive fire artist who wowed clients and guests with whips of fire. As the event was held at dusk massive light up letters were used to provide the back drop for photos.

Delivering a targeted event to showcase the National Space Centre Project, Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS), Scape Venture and the client. The event marked the launch of “sent into space.” and positioned the client as considerate and caring contractors at the forefront of CCS innovation – involving the Chairman of CCS

The event provided a behind the scenes look at the project and space centre.  It gave back-story and publicity to the official opening.  It has a double celebration, 1st Ultra Site status for a project under £1m and 1st Construction company to send an object into Space

Production of a viral video of the launch was filtered in bite size clips over social media to provide momentum and keep interest up. Over 10,000 impressions on social media channels were recorded.

A tailored ‘Classtronaughts’ programme for a local school was also incorporated in the day involving tracking the balloon and calculating the landing.

 The Event:

A bear and a bolt were sent into space (the edge of our atmosphere) and recorded the curvature of the Earth.  The package was then recovered, the bear was used with the school and the golden bolt was placed in a special encasement in the build (the foyer) of the National Space Centre with a plaque for perpetuity.

Working closely with the marketing team to create a buzz for a high-end product with local competition and higher than market average price tag. Generating an air of luxury and a friendly neighbourhood vibe to pull in potential purchasers.

The Event:

A traditional feeling ‘street party’ with iconic Union Jack bunting and old-style marquees from local shops providing free treats and samples alongside a pop-up bar and canapés to relax the visitors.

Pulling in over 120 high quality potential clients, gathering crucial interest and information for future sales.

Selling 2 houses on the launch day plus a further sale during the week because of the open day. One of these purchasers had already reserved with a local competitor but cancelled at a £10,000 cost in order to buy a home on this development. A minimal budget event that provided invaluable information and further sales in the months following.

The work won on Bolsover Model Village which consisted of 194 two and three-bedroom existing properties, the work involved internal and external works across 138 Council-owned properties and external works on the remaining 56 privately owned properties. Internal and external works to each property were programmed to take 12 weeks, but are batched efficiently into 6, 16-week long phases to ensure that all works are completed in time to meet a funding deadline. Both workstreams require differing subcontractors working collaboratively within a tight site.  In order to meet the HLF requirements a social value team needed to be in place to carry out a full programme of activities.

The Event:

A fun-day hosted by Bolsover Model Village and the Friends of New Bolsover, we provided a pop-up dome and activities aimed at children along with refreshments and snacks.

Love NG3 was a fun day provided by NCH in which we provided a pop-up dome housing a craft activity aimed at children.

As well as cementing permanent bonds with the client this event proved that other priorities than profit were to be considered, this led to further work and new business.

This project was supported with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, who contributed £818,000 towards the works, community events and building a body of volunteers who will steward the park to secure its long-term future.  A key driver of the scheme was to complete the works in time for the 100-year anniversary of the year end of WW1.
