BMA House: Setting the Standard in Sustainable Event Planning
As environmental responsibility takes centre stage in the events industry, BMA House remains a top-tier, sustainable venue in London, blending historical charm with forward-thinking environmental practices. From conferences and meetings to summer parties and festive celebrations, BMA House has cemented its position as a leader in sustainable event planning, continually evolving its services and offerings to promote eco-conscious choices. Below, we explore how BMA House’s dedication to sustainability permeates every aspect of its operations.
An Iconic Venue with a Green Heart
Nestled in Bloomsbury, BMA House’s Grade II-listed architecture, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911, reflects British heritage. Yet, behind the historical facade lies a venue on a mission to redefine sustainable events. Awarded Gold accreditation with Green Tourism, Platinum ECOsmart status with Greengage, and a regular award winner in the Sustainability category at the London Venue Awards, BMA House is a standout example of how heritage venues can adapt to the needs of the modern, eco-conscious client.
Devon Screen Company: Sustainable Style Meets Functional Versatility
The Devon Screen Company is changing the way we think about sustainable display solutions with its innovative product, the Displayory. This modular, eco-friendly system combines sophisticated design, practical function, and a touch of natural beauty to enhance any setting. Whether you’re creating a standout display for a trade show, planning an unforgettable event, or designing an inspiring workspace, the Displayory offers endless possibilities.
At the heart of the Displayory’s appeal is its versatility. It isn’t just a static display—it’s a dynamic tool that evolves with your needs. A key feature is the wide range of innovative attachments that enhance its functionality and visual appeal. From pegboard organisers for organising retail products to planter holders that bring life and greenery to spaces, the attachments are as practical as they are stylish. Need a custom shelving unit for showcasing products? Or perhaps a flexible frame for event signage or photo backdrops? The Displayory can handle it all, seamlessly adapting to each unique scenario.

GES UK: ESG Progress Report
A year on from the appointment of our very first Head of ESG, Kate Holliday, we continue to work hard blending innovation with environmental responsibility under her guidance. Kate has helped us to focus, not just on what we have achieved, but also on what needs to be done on our pathway to Net Zero.
During the past few years GES has made substantial strides toward reducing its ecological footprint, adopting green technologies, and fostering sustainable business practices across its operations. But we also recognise how important it is to ensure we are ready to meet the challenges ahead. So, this year, for the first time, we brought together both our achievements and aspirations in our inaugural Progress Report. The report has allowed us to pause and take stock, celebrating how far we’ve come but also acknowledging how much further we need to go. It also serves as a pre-cursor to our forthcoming roadmap which we are taking our time to create to ensure it is both ambitious and achievable.

The Stage Bus goes from strength to strength

These solar-powered stages are perfect for all kinds of events, from sporting events, festivals, road shows, brand activations and good old live music concerts with PA systems covering from 500 up to 10,000.
