Former SO Group and Essa chairman creates agency
Steve Barratt, former SO Group and Essa chairman, has created a new agency, Full Circle Events, which will offer event theming, stand design, technical services and feature areas. The company has acquired Neuvision, a design and build company fronted by Darren Heyes.
Steve Barratt is optimistic that the agency will fill a gap in the market: "Full Circle represents an exciting opportunity for organisations in the industry to develop a meaningful partnership with an experienced team who understand the market and genuinely care about the shows they work on.
"I am very passionate about this industry and the people who work in it. There are now two global players in the UK market and I believe there is a strong case for a third option. We know from researching the industry that clients want a strong, independent force that can combine modern advances in technology with real-world experience and a personal touch.
"This new organisation will bring back everything that was good about Early Action Group whilst making sure that the processes and services we offer lead the way in today’s changing industry. We really have come full circle and I’m optimistic about the opportunities and potential for this organisation and very excited about the future," he concluded.
