What a great evening! Last night Camilla Marcus-Dew - PIEMA - Reframing 'Business' 🌈, Tyler Murphy and Warren Rogers attended the Social Enterprise UK #SocEntAwards24 at the Roundhouse Trust to celebrate the incredible work of social businesses and their supporters through initiatives like the #BuySocialCorporateChallenge. The passion for a better business model for people and planet in the very large room was palpable and is truly inspiring 💫 and Stitch is excited to bring its sustainable event solutions to a plethora of productions next year. Huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees 🙌🙌🙌

🌍 Proud Partners for Positive Change 🌱 We’re thrilled to share more about our recent collaboration with Design Council as their production partner for Design for Planet Festival – a world-leading hybrid event designed to inspire action on the climate and nature crises. 📍 Taking place in Manchester, the event welcomed 162 in-person guests and 2,229 online attendees tuning in from 112 countries. Its mission? To “upskill, inspire, and galvanise the design community to put the planet front and centre.” With inspiring keynotes and presentations curated by Design Council, featuring Minnie Moll, Patrick Grant and Sophie Thomas, it was impossible to leave without a renewed sense of purpose. We certainly did! At Stitch, we’re passionate about bringing circular-enabled production to the mainstream, and this event was no exception. The results?  ✔️ 96% circular-enabled production from Stitch   ✔️ Nearly 500 hours of direct social value generated Collaborating with clients like Design Council, who are deeply committed to making a difference for both people and the planet, is what fuels us.  Special thanks to Design Council, Matthew Burgess, Senior Events Manager and Harriet Packer, Senior Digital Content Manager for bringing us on this incredible journey. Here’s to more events that make a lasting impact! 💚 #SustainableProduction #DesignForPlanet #SocialValue #ClimateAction #Stitch #DesignCouncil

Can a room full of designers change the planet's trajectory? What a great morning so far....a room full of people who CAN design the future. Upskilling all designers to design FOR the planet is the enabler we need, (as almost everything needs redesigning for our future). Pleased to join the vital conversations at Design Council's #DesignforPlanet Festival produced by Stitch at The Manchester Metropolitan University. Fantastic line up of speakers like Tanya Popeau, Katie (Katharine) Hill, James Vaccaro, Martyn Evans Hon FRIBA, Patrick Grant and many others. Key takeaways so far ... 1. Endogenous growth cycles to drive efficiencies and make sustainable choices also pay off financially - James Vaccaro 2. Starting with the challenge, spend time really understanding this before you aim to design a solution - Tanya Popeau 3. bcorp a vital movement. Is a movement to change the economic system. But we can't change the world in time, company by company, it's not sufficient, given the number of companies globally so we also need to change the system - Katie (Katharine) Hill but it does demonstrate what is possible! 4. Challenge orthodoxy and when we succeed at that, then suddenly. if you believe in the power of design and you push it to the front of the table, that's the only way the solutions happen. Give the designer the room, and everyone will be proud they solved the problem creatively. - Martyn Evans Hon FRIBA 5. Just stop the fashion industry, everyone would be ok, and we'd save 10% of global carbon. - Patrick Grant Nice job Harriet, Minnie Moll, Alex McCorkindale, Matthew Burgess and all the DC team alongside Tyler Murphy, Liz, Artur, Krystian Jones and the rest of the Stitch team. Looking forward to the afternoon workshops!

Today's the day!

Yesterday I went along to the #SustainableEventsShow with Charlotte Scotland and Mathias Berry which put people + planet on the agenda for event professionals. I enjoyed sharing a bit more about the story of Stitch - spawned from Connection Crew CIC in recognition of a market need for production services with social impact built-in. Alongside addressing environmental challenges within the event industry, Stitch supports people affected by homelessness to access living-wage work by generating crew work, creating career pathways and funding training places via Connection Crew. It was uplifting to meet the people pushing the industry to do better- and all learning from each other. Looking forward to the next one already, this year's obligatory cheesy pic of me included!! prestigeevents prod
