CHAMPAGE corks were popped in London last week as a Basingstoke based events management company officially launched their business.

Joined by dozens of celebrities and various industry experts, H-Productions curated a lavish showcase event that demonstrated exactly what the newly formed firm is all about.

Taking place at Old Street Records in Shoreditch, the capital's home of live music, entrants to the party were treated to a stunning programme of entertainment, champagne and food.

Entertainment for the evening came from Basingstoke's own alternative rock outfit FlashFires and Hackney soul singer Albert Gold and was enjoyed by a host of celebrities including Quadrophenia's Gary Shail and influential industry figures from companies such as Amazon, Experian, Loco Talent Agency and Buzz City.

H-Productions is a comprehensive event management and production company, providing high quality entertainment, technical support, catering, security, lighting and stages for a wide range of events.

Their services include booking acts and entertainment, promotion marketing and day-to-day event management.

Helen Freeman, event director, said: "It was an amazing night with great performances from some very talented musicians who we will be technically supporting in the coming months.

"We were overwhelmed with the support from a wide range of industries in attendance and we are looking forward to work with various parties in the future."

You can next enjoy a H-Productions show as at this weekend's CarFest South, the company will be collaborating with another talented group - FatBoyz Dance Company.
