The Live Group has announced a
new vision into 2025 based around continued expansion and new investment.
Over the next year the business aims to expand both in the UK and Singapore, grow its team, and further invest in cutting-edge audience engagement and event technology.
The news follows the group’s announcement
of a £2.8m injection of funding from private equity group Foresight
Group earlier this year. The investment has been earmarked for
research and development within the Live Group’s digital
event products. The business is already investing in the latest technologies
with a view to accelerating a suite of products that increase audience
understanding and engagement.
“Anyone that knows
Live Group has seen how much our business has grown and transformed in just a
few years, however we know our heritage sits at the sweet spot between
production excellence, smart technology, and market leading audience insight,” said Stephen D. Pickett, managing director of Live Group. “Technology advancement gives us an opportunity to
accelerate our audience-led learning, and this can only be good for the events
we produce.”
In
addition to the developments in event technology, Live Group continues to expand
and seek new talent, both in the UK and its Singapore office,
which launched last year. The group envisions leading the industry
in creating inclusive and accessible event environments. This vision is
already attracting talent from diverse backgrounds, both within and outside the
traditional events industry.
At the same time, the group has recently achieved ISO accreditation in
Event Sustainability20121: 2012, in addition to its Quality Management,
Information Security and Cyber Essentials Plus credentials.
“The credibility of
our growth has always been as important as its speed,” added Pickett. “The
event technology and audience profiling technologies we have produced are
highly effective and have taken years to perfect. We’ve some really exciting
plans in the offing that have undergone the scrutiny we needed them to.
They’re nearly ready, and we can’t wait to share them with our clients.
“This is about having
the best people, the right products and an exceptional workplace, for Live
Group to solidify its position as a leading international event brands, and one
that is growing responsibly, sustainably, and with equity and innovation at its
core.”
