Social scene: Hawthorn celebrates 30 years in business

Leicestershire-based company Hawthorn celebrated turning 30 in style on Saturday February 4, when more than 500 clients, suppliers and colleagues partied the night away at its Old Dalby headquarters.

The full service technical production company drew on its expertise to transform its 105,000ft warehouse space into a glamorous party venue where guests enjoyed a night of fun, food and drink.

Guests were kept well entertained throughout the evening with live entertainment, as well as fun including karaoke, retro games and roving entertainers. Delicious food was served by Smart Hospitality and guests were treated to a menu of special themed cocktails kindly donated by Ambersphere.

Hawthorn is currently celebrating a record year, turning over £18m in its last financial year.

Martin Hawthorn, managing director of Hawthorn, said: “After 30 years we have so many long-term customers and felt it was important to thank them for their business and recognise our valued suppliers.

“I’d like to say a huge thank you to our partners and colleagues who have been so generous in their sponsorship for our 30th anniversary party, helping us to really make it a night to remember.

“Our thirty-year anniversary is a great opportunity to not only share and celebrate our history but also look to the future. Hawthorn continues to grow and that’s a true testament to the hard work and creativity that the company bases itself upon.”
