Freddie Meynell’s unrivalled ability to create masterpieces of fun, imagination and entertainment, makes him one of Britain’s top Event Management Consultants.  His reputation for conceiving ideas and then realising them is second to none.

 Over the past 30 years, he has managed some of the most prestigious occasions including:-

Chatsworth

One of the largest and grandest private Balls in the UK for the Duke & Duchess of Devonshire followed four years later by the Tercentenary.  This much celebrated event involved three nights of 3000 guests per night for Dinner employing 800 staff and crew, 500 actors, singers and dancers for an Open Air Musical Masque each night

- “something which will never, ever be equalled by anybody, anywhere. You really are, without any possible shade of doubt, our greatest genius in producing elegant, wonderfully paced and hugely entertaining events”

A Private Event

 

One of the most famous private parties of the late ‘90’s.  Freddie and his team created an exotic Indian Palace terraced on stilts on the side of a hill.  To produce this spectacular event, Freddie brought together all his most trusted designers, lighting, constructional and technical teams, flew in bands from around the world, combined some 300 other entertainers in a whole host of imaginative and innovative roles, resulting in yet another miraculous occasion.

 “All who were lucky enough to be present that night will remember it for the rest of their lives”.

........... and again in 1997 & 2002, Freddie created two special evenings for two 21st's. Completely transforming the indoor riding school to give three quite separate “reveals” into the Golden Age of Hollywood or a James Bond theme.

Royal Banquets on HMS Ark Royal and HMS Invincible

Two Banquets for 2000 guests provided a real challenge.  With one day to build the sets, 30 different firms of contractors hoisting equipment aboard, a day for the event and a day to disembark it all.   

Your control of the incredibly complex logistics was simply awe-inspiring, but it all still showed that lightness of touch and inventiveness for which you are justly renowned.”

JCB 50th  Anniversary Spectacular Freddie created a song and dance show using dressed up, dancing and singing diggers to the delight of JCB and their guests, following 3 nights of wonderful Dinners for 600 each night.

“……..the breadth of your vision and imagination was just incredible. But not just that. You had every one of us rocking with laughter one minute, dancing in the aisles the next and then moved completely to tears at that stupendous finale”

Safeway Series of Suppliers Balls

For many years Freddie has produced this annual event for over 1000 guests at such fabulous places as Blenheim Palace, Highclere, Luton Hoo, Waddesdon, Chatsworth, Longleat & Leeds Castle.  Each year creating a different look and theme reflecting the venue, resulting in this series acquiring its unrivalled first place in the food industry calendar of events.
BPAmoco Festivals of Opera

Three nights of “World Class Entertainment” of the Welsh National Opera followed by highly sophisticated Dinners for hundreds of Amoco’s guests including Ambassadors, Senior Politicians, Heads of the Leading Companies of the Oil and Gas Industry.  After careful analysis, research and design, Freddie created a stunning scene in the newly re-opened Raphael Gallery in the V & A Museum for the Dinners. This is the third BPAmoco Festival of Opera Freddie has managed.
LIFFE’s 5th, 10th and then their 15th Anniversary Party with a superb Dinner for 3,000 followed by a devastatingly spectacular show
Boodles Club Centenary  for 1800, Syon Park.  A stunning set of marquees and a lavish Dinner in the beautiful Capability Brown gardens of the seat of The Duke of Northumberland
