Collyer Lessick International (CLi) was tasked with conceptualising and organising an exciting function for this occasion and came up with a theme of F1 racing - “Don't stop us Now”.

Prior to the opening of this exciting fast paced affair, staff gathered in the pre-function area that was strongly branded with balloons and F1 Barclays flags. At registration, desk staff handed out T-shirts, head bands, and handheld flags to staff who sipped on cocktails and snacked on canapés as they eagerly awaited the official opening.

Once the green light was given, the ballroom doors opened and the guests were confronted with an impressive stage which featured a F1 chequered backdrop and flags in the Barclays blue and white throughout the ballroom. The crowd was welcomed and addressed by a senior member of staff and a few speeches followed along with a presentation. A motivational video which was specifically filmed for this event, and cast the management team in F1 gear on a racing track was shown to the audience.

This was followed by a F1-clad dance troupe who entertained the guests and invited them on to the dance floor which was DJ'd by the well known Abhijeet.

Following on from the award ceremony and interactive drumming session lead by the ‘Dubai Drummers' took place.

Dancers once again took to the stage and opened the dance floor to the guests. All these activities were followed by an impressive buffet with live cooking stations which gave the guests a much needed energy boost to continue with the fun late into the night!

CLi very successfully coordinated all aspects of the event from venue and supplier sourcing to managing the various entertainers and catering components, delivering a highly successful and motivating event for the retail sales team!
