Recently one of TGBEco team visited Lille for a short break and some creative
stimulation, hoping to find a bit
of France not too far away where bread, patisserie and vino flowed and some chill down time after a busy summer season..

As we wondered the streets of Lille on one of the sunniest days for a while, we noticed
that even though the buildings were architecturally stunning they were often
complemented by some very simple but effective styling. It seems that everyone has a little bit of creative in them. And why not!?
Inherent in almost every event we produce is the creative element. We have worked with some of Europe's best stylists and some of GB's own creative food artists, so we know a little about what works and what is possible. Often it's simply the furniture positioned to the side, with some backlighting effects up the walls and 'voila!' there you have it. Nothing is possible without a good supplier to hand however. Our rule of thumb is - if the supplier 'gets' what you are asking for over the phone then you just know they have the creative wherewithall to make it possible! Failing all else, go back to basics like we found in Lille, paper lanterns - simple yet effective!
Last year Great Hire supplied a lot of top quality furnishings for all types of events. We recommend them if you can't find a better local supplier to match your needs!
