As a founder member of the Corporate Event Association (formerly the Corporate Hospitality Association), the UK’s primary industry body for corporate hospitality – and having provided two past chairmen, the company has continued to be at the forefront of the industry development – continually striving for higher standards and levels of service.

The company has a blue chip client base of regular hospitality buyers, from a myriad of industry sectors. By operating an account management principle the company has developed long standing relationships with a number of key clients.

Lilley & Gillie offers these clients access to a comprehensive range of events from sporting through to cultural, internationally as well as nationally – in some cases as a nominated official provider, or alternatively through pre-purchasing significant allocation of hospitality packages.

Major Event Experience

Lilley & Gillie was a partner in the organisation that sold and operated the official corporate hospitality programme for the 1999 and 2003 Rugby World Cups. In 1999 as part of a consortium of agencies, Lilley & Gillie provided the Chairman of the Central Operations Executive, which had specific responsibility for the fulfilment of all hospitality provided including 6000 covers at the Final itself.

In 2003, as a joint venture with Sodexho Prestige, Lilley & Gillie were responsible for the central co-ordination of the official hospitality programme., with Dr. Chris Bruton (Lilley & Gillie director) acting as Chief Executive based in Sydney, and overseeing in excess of 53,000 hospitality packages across 11 stadia.

Hospitality in Partnership

Following the success of the company’s involvement in the 1999 and 2003 Rugby World Cup, Hospitality in Partnership was created as a vehicle to offer rights holders, event organisers and governing bodies, the benefit of their expertise in maximising the standards of delivery and financial returns from the provision of hospitality to both sponsors and non-sponsor corporate clients.

The company was appointed by Clipper Ventures, the owners of The Clipper Round The World Yacht Race 2005-2006, as their official hospitality provider. This is a worldwide appointment offering shore based and ‘on board’ hospitality opportunities at stopovers around the world.

The company is currently tendering for a number of other projects, and has recently been appointed to operate the official hospitality programme for ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 in the West Indies.
