Venues and Events International

What Venues and Events International does

veSpace International Limited (trading as veSpace, previously Venues and Events International) is a UK-based corporate event management agency founded in 1989 by Anita Lowe and Chris Lowe, headquartered in Swindon, Wiltshire. The company delivers end-to-end event services to enterprise clients across five core product lines: Global Sourcing (venue finding), Event Management, Event Production (AV and show execution), Incentives (travel and reward experiences), and Delegate Management, supported by a proprietary Client Booking Portal at vespace.myeventsportal.co.uk. In early 2024, the company launched a dedicated Delegate Dynamics sub-brand to address rising customer demand for delegate management services.

The business operates a sales-led, direct B2B model, delivering services through in-house account management, sourcing, and production teams rather than through resellers. The client base spans financial services (AXA, Capgemini, Finastra, Quilter, Rathbones), professional services (PA Consulting, Dentons, Dechert), energy and industrials (BP, ENGIE, EQUANS, Balfour Beatty, QinetiQ), automotive (MAN Truck & Bus, Mercedes, Vertu Motors), pharma and healthcare (Ego Pharmaceuticals, Spire Healthcare, Steris), and consumer brands (AVON, Nestlé Purina, Accor, Sage), with case studies evidencing event delivery across the UK, Vietnam, Norway, Portugal, Iceland, and Munich.

veSpace generates revenue through professional services fees on a quote-based, project-by-project pricing model, with no publicly disclosed pricing or financial metrics. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and operates without institutional investment or a parent entity. It has received industry recognition including M&IT Awards wins (2025) and finalist status (2026), C&IT A List and Agency List placements, micebook Power 30 sustainability recognition, and Greengage ECOsmart accreditation. The firm does not disclose any AI/ML capabilities, patents, API offerings, or product technology beyond its booking portal.
