Unseen Annual Business Awards
A purpose-driven awards evening dedicated to action against modern slavery.
The Challenge
Unseen UK, a leading charity working to end modern slavery, were looking to host their annual Business Awards at an iconic London venue that would align with its values and further clarify the significance of their mission.
​
The goal was to bring together 140 guests from across a range of industries to network and recognise their outstanding efforts in tackling modern slavery, all whilst delivering an evening that was meaningful, impactful, and memorable.
The Approach
To kickstart the design and delivery of the full event experience, we sourced and selected the stunning London Stadium (West Ham United Football Ground) and negotiated reduced charity rates for hire and F&B.
​
Working closely with the team at Unseen, we curated a smooth-running programme that balanced recognition and networking, managed all event production, catering, guest experience details, and created a warm, engaging atmosphere for attendees whilst keeping the focus on the charity’s mission.
​
The event not only celebrated the success of those organisations and people making a real impact within the modern slavery space, but it also featured a keynote from MP Jess Phillips, an insightful and educational panel discussion, and a charity auction consisting of donated gifts.
The Result
The Unseen Business Awards successfully delivered an evening that was both informative and celebratory, bringing together businesses, policymakers and advocates in a shared commitment to tackling modern slavery. Attendees left with a deeper understanding of the present issues, inspired by real stories and practical examples of good practice, while the awards and raffle helped raise awareness and vital funds for charitable work.
​
Overall, the event reinforced the importance of ethical business practices and demonstrated how powerful events can be when purpose, content and delivery are aligned.
