Before diving into the events sector, Matt worked in hairdressing. Though not directly connected to events, its ethos was rooted in exceptional customer service, building meaningful relationships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. That ethos, combined with an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire for autonomy fuelled Matt's search for the perfect venture.
His introduction to events came via a friend; collaborating on events initially before independently exploring new event concepts. Among a plethora of ideas, running corporate events on the River Thames really stood out; fusing exceptional event management service with London's iconic landmarks. West End on the Thames launched in 2012, and Vespa has been active in supporting Matt and his team since investing at pre seed stage.
West End on the Thames is an event management service that specialises in private and corporate functions on London's iconic waterway. With access to the best vessels on the Thames, they cater for a range of functions up to a capacity of 500 people, complimented by the astounding backdrop of London’s iconic skyline.
In the last decade, the business has earned its reputation as the primary destination for corporate hospitality on the River Thames, collaborating with illustrious brands such as NASA, Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi. They're also now beginning to establish themselves as the go-to for wedding receptions too.
