The story of a company from start to amazing.

Opening Night

The sales team had been looking into venues for our opening night. They visited various sights and gave a presentation to the rest of the company on their top 3. The company then took a vote on their favourite venue which led to an almost unanimous decision.
Our choices were:
-The Drop Forge resturant/bar in the jewellery quarter
-St Paul's Gallery, also located in the jewellery quarter
and the Custard Factory, located in Digbeth and know for vintage/boutique fashion
The group felt that the Custard Factory was too far away to attract a lot of interest. We wanted somewhere close to School and close to the people in the jewellery quarter that we were hoping would come along. The site was also very expensive to hire which put a lot of us off.
St Paul's Gallery was free for us to use but, as it's an art gallery with permanent pieces, our work would be displayed alongside the work of other artists/designers.
The Drop Forge was a clear favourite for most people. It was free, has a beautiful space and would enable us to have a fun and vibrant atmosphere as it's a bar! As well as being an opportunity to sell our work, our opening night will be a celebration of our companies hard work all paying off.
We're still going to have St Paul's Gallery as a selling venue but had to rule out the Custard Factory because of the price.
