Our take

HeadBox was founded in 2010 with the intention of making booking and planning events easier for businesses. Over the years, the company has built up an impressive list of high-profile business clients, such as EY, Skyscanner, EDF and Sky.

HeadBox's edge lies in its simplicity. Its services streamline the often convoluted planning and booking processes, which appeals enormously to large companies looking to prioritise tasks effectively. HeadBox brings booking, managing and delivering together on one easy-to-use platform.

Traditionally, HeadBox has specialised in in-person events, allowing organisers to book venues in locations such as the National Gallery in London. However, HeadBox has also embraced virtual events, allowing businesses to craft engaging online experiences.

While traditional events companies have struggled in recent years, HeadBox has done well. Its virtual experience services will no doubt prove valuable in the years to come and will appeal to multinational companies and remote working organisations.
