Testimonials
"Thank you very much for all the hard work you did to help the Beatification Mass at Crofton Park such a success.
We have been told that the Pope himself was deeply moved by the Mass and hugely impressed with the
arrangements at the park. The Church and the Foreign Office have also said how thrilled they both were by the event."
Mark Wallace, WRG, Chairman.
"We’d been thinking about a music festival at Wisley for a long time, but you made it happen. For the uninitiated, putting on a festival is a daunting proposition. You guided us through the process admirably and worked well with our staff. I hope you were pleased that all your hard work was incredibly worthwhile and very much appreciated - roll on next year!"
Alan Roe, Formerly Commercial Director, RHS Garden Wisley.
"Once again you have done us proud! Thank you so much Rick for making everything work so brilliantly last night – you and your team were absolutely wonderful. It all went so smoothly, and you made even the most difficult things seem effortless. You really are the "bricks and mortar" to this event – all of us here at Macmillan London Special Events appreciate you more than I can say. "
Mrs Toby Jessel, Chairman.
"Louise Burton is one of London's most dedicated and effective marketing, events and PR professionals. Her firm is very aptly named. She makes it all happen – on time and on budget."
Michael Johnson - Communications Director, ICO Global Communications.
"Rick Burton, who managed all the rehearsal sessions and with his many years experience in the corporate area, presented throughout the semi finals and grand finals events both professional, approachable and jovial attitude throughout, which really helped put the teams at ease and was recognised by many of the participants. Throughout all events, the show ran with military precision, ensuring all shows ran to time. The Brussels venue did present many challenges for the team, however they delivered a fantastic set that complimented rather than hid a very historic and beautiful venue."
Tony Deadfield, BT Challenge Cup.
"Thank you Louise for the way every show was delivered at Kew. Every artist, manager and agent was happy and it was a pleasure to work with you. I have worked with many event producers over the years and you were certainly the coolest! Every time I saw you, you had a smile on your face! Well done to you and your fantastic team and here's to the next season." Neil O'Brien, Neil O'Brien Entertainment.
"I worked with Louise on six Summer Swing at Kew concerts (2004-9). She was employed as the overall project manager, liaising with external contractors and internal stakeholders. I found her to always be professional, hard-working and diplomatic, the latter being an essential skill when dealing with a large, bureaucratic organisation like Kew Gardens. Much of the success of the Summer Swing Concerts can be attributed to Louise's work. I am sure she will get on well with my successor."
Paul Gray, formerly Head of Events at Kew Gardens, now Operations Director at Tate Margate
"The Ascot Authority have asked me to pass on their thanks for another wonderful set of concerts continuing the Ascot Jazz tradition. It was great to have someone around to deal with our needs and queries so promptly as and when they arose – we really appreciated it. It was also very re-assuring to have your assistance with the local authority."
Jason Brautigan, Formerly Head of Marketing, Ascot Racecourse.
"Louise dealt with the fulfilment of sponsor benefits at the events - I was impressed by her ability to accommodate their needs and ensure their objectives were met."
Emma Chappell - Sponsorship Director, Sodexho Prestige.
"The band thoroughly enjoyed the gig. It was a lovely day and the crowd was fantastic. We were delighted by how well everything was organised and the manner in which the band were so well looked after. Hope to work with you all again soon."
Stephen Taylor, Tour Manager, Jools Holland.
"…a big THANK YOU from everyone here for all your help over the past few months, not to mention on the actual day itself! It was great having someone of your ability around to deal with our needs/queries so promptly as and when they arose – we really appreciated it. Congratulations on a job well done!"
Liz Forbes, General Manager, Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.
"Louise first worked for me and one of my companies on one of my shows at the Royal Albert Hall, The Cathcart Spring Proms. She initially became my assistant producer and when on to run the department. She is capable and highly skilled. She will stand up for what is right and articulate her position with great results. She has a detail of care that so many do not possess and this drives results in what is a highly competitive industry. I have no hesitation in recommending Louise"
Christopher Palmer-Jeffery, formerly Chairman, European Events Ltd now Senior Partner at Initiative Partners.
"Kew the Music was a huge challenge this year with all the changes we implemented. You were outstanding." Nickola Savage, Head of Commercial Events & Venue Hire, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
