What does Makeithappen do?

We produce, manage and market live events.

How do we work?

We provide a project team to match the job, drawing on a large pool of event personnel with broad ranging experience including technical production, box office services, health & safety, hospitality and catering provision, logistics and operations, marketing and PR.

How will you work with my organisation?

Many clients already have an in-house event team — we will work your team, across departments, pulling in specific project-based resources as appropriate — most importantly, we act as a catalyst to make your event happen.

Who is behind Makeithappen?

Makeithappen was founded by Louise Burton, a freelance project manager with 15 years experience in events. For each show we draw on a network of specialists from across the entertainment industry.
