The Event Co moves into new 16,500sq ft building at Airport Business Park Southend

The Event Co has moved into a new purpose-built 16,500sq ft building at Airport Business Park Southend (ABPS) as the business continues to grow.

Airport Business Park Southend is being delivered by HBD, part of Henry Boot, in partnership with Southend City Council.

The Event Co is a successful event and exhibition AV production company with clients including London Fashion Week, Tommy Hilfiger, Very and The Shard. The company is also a supplier to some of the largest exhibition venues in the UK & Europe such as London ExCel and The NEC.

The new unit includes various state-of-the-art facilities, including demo space for its clients to visit and view the latest technology to bring their events to life.

Hamer Boot, Interim Managing Director at HBD, said: “The Event Co has been part of the Airport Business Park Southend community since 2023 and has grown considerably. Supporting ambitious businesses like The Event Co is exactly what the scheme was created for, providing high-quality space that enables companies to scale, create jobs and invest in their future. We’re pleased to see them take this next step and look forward to supporting their continued success at ABPS.”

The Event Co Director Jamie Clarke added: “Moving into our new building marks an exciting phase in our growth. The space gives us greater capacity to service our expanding client base, while providing a best-in-class environment for our team.”

Located next to London Southend Airport, ABPS provides a range of high-quality industrial and commercial space designed to support growing businesses. With strong road, rail and air connections, it has quickly established itself as one of Southend’s key business destinations, attracting a diverse mix of occupiers and bringing new investment and jobs to the city.

HBD has now delivered a total of 370,500sq ft at the scheme, with further development planned across the site. Another 290,000sq ft of space is to be brought forward, 77,108sq ft of which has planning consent.

The agents for Airport Business Park Southend are Dedman Gray, Kemsley and Cushman and Wakefield.
