Jc Events Goes From Strength To Strength

It's amazing what goes on behind closed doors.

In a little corner of South Shields there’s an unassuming warehouse, which from the outside has nothing to distinguish it from its counterparts.

But open the doors and you’ll find yourself in an Aladdin’s Cave – a world where you rub shoulders with full size lions and zebras, with exotic lighting and tableware, with elegant Roman columns and giant mirrors.

Welcome to the world of JC Events, the company run and masterminded by experienced events organiser, Jacqui Chapman. Jacqui recently opened the doors to her amazing collections of props, which previously had only been used to accommodate the eclectic needs of her vast client base.

But now she has added another string to her bow, by recognising the potential for hiring out her catalogue to other events companies, party and wedding planners.

Of course this is the newest – and the smallest – part of what JC Events offers, a company which continues to grow and now has a nationally acclaimed reputation. Clients include everyone from Greggs to Lookers, from the NHS to Tesco Underwriting, while also supporting North East charities such as the Alan Shearer Foundation and Children North East.

Conferences, exhibition stands, themed dinners, balls – there’s a never ending list of work which comes through the doors of the office at Trinity Green, which sees the team heading out to cities and towns across the country on a regular basis. It’s the ability to be original, proactive and creative which Jacqui believes is at the heart of the company’s success – coupled with a big dose of generosity.

“It’s a combination of our expertise, our ability to come up with really creative and innovative solutions and our reputation which has helped us keep our existing clients but also continually win new business,” said Jacqui.

Along with providing a whole range of audio visual services, JC Events also has its own manufacturing arm which makes props or bespoke staging and exhibition shells to fit clients’ specifications. “What clients seem to appreciate is that we can look after every aspect of their requirements so they don’t need to go anywhere else, plus they like the fact we will always go the extra mile,” said Jacqui.

“We are aware that we operate in a very competitive market so it’s important that not only must we have a reputation for delivering but for also exceeding our clients’ expectations.”
