“The Ultimate Balloon Company provided us with some fantastic balloon displays including arches, columns and to surround a display board to celebrate the launch of a new airline. The balloons enabled us to create a covid-friendly atmosphere of celebration and some great photo opportunities for us to generate promotion. I had some initial ideas but Jacqui's advice and expertise made sure that we made the best of her talents and created a great display!”

Get it right, first time, with someone who has 32 years of doing exactly that. Corporate event décor comes with pressure a birthday party never does — a boss to impress, clients watching, and no second chance if it doesn’t land. Hand it over, and it gets designed, installed and taken down without you lifting a finger. No chasing, no surprises, no drama on the day.
Being the person responsible for how an event looks is a tough job, full stop. Your boss expects perfect, and your clients are watching. Because there’s no dress rehearsal, it either works on the day or it doesn’t — and you’re the one who signed it off.
That’s exactly the pressure I’ve spent 32 years taking off people’s shoulders. First, you tell me the brief, the brand colours, and the effect you’re after. Then I turn it into a room that gets a reaction, so you can stay focused on the parts of the event only you can run.
Launch days, showroom refreshes and seasonal displays that turn a forecourt into an event. A Thursday-evening call from DM Keith Motors became fully dressed Halloween showrooms across three dealership sites within a day and a half — brand colours, on brief, on time.
Photo-worthy entrances and stage dressing for the day families remember for years. They’re warm, celebratory, and built to photograph well in every light a ceremony throws at it.
Award nights, product launches and VIP functions where the room has to do some of the persuading. ITV brought me in to bring their 70th birthday concept to life exactly as pitched, wrapping a row of ugly steel columns in silver balloons for a party hosted by DJ Martin Kemp.
When Doncaster Sheffield Airport and Wizz Air needed to welcome passengers back to the skies, arches in Wizz Air’s pink and purple turned a fairly clinical terminal into one of the best photo spots in the building.
For Westfield Health’s “Westfest” family fun day at Canon Arena Sheffield, I dressed the arena across 20 tables and built an entrance arch and branded photo moment in their exact brand colours — orange, cream, ice blue and grey — despite the venue turning into a wind tunnel on the day.
First, you tell me the brief — brand colours, the venue, what the day needs to achieve. Next, I come back with a design, a price, and a plan. That way there’s no back-and-forth over specification you don’t have time for, because that’s my job, not yours.
On the day, I arrive, install, and I’m gone before your guests notice I was ever there. Afterwards, everything comes down and leaves with me, so there are no balloons left drifting round the venue and no clean-up for your team the next morning.
With over 32 years of experience, and having worked with everyone from small local businesses to the Rolling Stones, Coca-Cola, Vodafone, Amazon, Coronation Street and even some very special Royals, I’ve built the judgement to get a brief right without needing to be told twice. For a guide to what a brief needs, see my FAQ page; for costs, the 2026 balloon décor cost guide.
Corporate décor doesn’t have to sit awkwardly against your sustainability commitments, because mine is built to support them. I work in biodegradable natural latex, never release balloons, and take everything away and recycle what can’t be reused through a national company that specialises in recycling balloons. Even the helium is recovered as a by-product from MRI machines rather than freshly mined. Are balloons bad for the environment? has the full honest answer.
That’s a genuine line for your event report, not a marketing claim bolted on afterwards. So if your organisation has to justify décor spend against an ESG policy, I can give you the honest detail to put in writing — because it’s true, not because it sounds good.
Balloon décor transforms a room for a fraction of the cost of flowers or built structures, and it scales from a single branded photo moment to a full venue transformation. Whatever the budget, I design the brief to make the most of it, so your finance team stays happy too.
In short, corporate event décor has to work first time, because there isn’t a second one. Thirty-two years of doing exactly that — for names like the Rolling Stones and Coca-Cola, and for dealerships, universities and hotels the same week — is what “hand it over” actually means in practice. So tell me the brief, and I’ll take it from there.
Car dealerships, universities, hotels and venues, airports, and staff/family days — anywhere a room needs to make an impression on a brief with no room for error.
Yes — it transforms a space for a fraction of the cost of flowers or built displays, and scales to fit any budget without compromising the look.
Yes. Natural biodegradable latex, no balloon releases ever, everything taken away and recycled through a national company that specialises in recycling balloons, and helium recovered as a by-product from MRI machines.
As soon as the date and venue are confirmed, especially for launches, dealership events or awards nights — but I’ve turned a request around within a day and a half when needed.
Yes — clients include the Rolling Stones, Tina Turner, Coca-Cola, Vodafone, Amazon, Coronation Street, Royal events, ITV, Wizz Air and Westfield Health, alongside independent dealerships and local businesses.
