Our Story

How it all started...

In 2005, Preetinder Singh, Jo Cochrane and Nicky Gabari started Simon Smith Events Ltd. After many years working in a large corporation within the events and hospitality industry, Preetinder made the decision to start out on his own. He wanted to set up a company that provided quality, bespoke events tailored to the needs of each individual. A priority for him was to team up with clients and develop relationships with them in order to provide a service that is pervaded by shared interest and excellence. Preetinder, Nicky and Jo executed, and the company - named after Preet’s salesman alias ‘Simon Smith’ - was born. Over the years, the company has continued to grow simply through recommendations, personal relationships and by providing an unbeatable service that speaks for itself.

What can we do for you?

Source

Over two decades of experience and a trusted network of global relationships, allows us to source the very best off-the-shelf tickets, hospitality and event experiences at all major sporting, musical and cultural events. If you want the best, we know where to find it.

Advise

Our extensive experience and knowledge within the events and hospitality industry means that we are in the know about everything from the rise and fall in ticket prices, to which seats in major venues are really the best. This means that, not only can we source the best tickets and packages, we can advise you on which options will best suit your needs and budget.

The terms ‘surge’ pricing or ‘dynamic’ pricing are new terms which define price rises. Pricing is defined by supply and demand, this is common practice among Hotels and Airlines and Rail Companies where peak periods incur significantly higher prices for a package that stays at the same value.

If an event is sold out, and the only way to access is offering a willing buyer a price they are comfortable with, then we can act as a connector and facilitator if it’s outside our own inventory, we can find you a solution by inducing a willing seller with an offer they can’t refuse.

Tailor

Sometimes the humdrum of your average corporate event just doesn’t cut it. The majority of our clients have been there and done that and are bored with the usual tickets and catering that most events provide. That’s where we come in, to source and create exclusive access to carefully selected luxury events allowing our clients to enjoy the full VIP, ‘backstage’, money-can’t-buy experience.
As well as delivering amazing events for individuals, we work with businesses, including many leading financial institutions, to help them pull off corporate events that will leave a lasting impression on their clients. That’s why our motto is ‘We deliver your promise’ – we provide innovative, bespoke solutions for businesses, tailored to their clients’ requirements and budget.

Enhance

We can also assist with extra features and options to take an event to the next level. Whether you need us to provide luxury food and drink hampers to enjoy with a cricket match, hand-deliver tickets, arrange transport from a hotel to an event venue, or source sports-stars and celebrities to interact with you or your clients at an event, we’ve got you covered!

Create

Sometimes what you require is something completely novel, which is why, here at Simon Smith Events, we are also able to build events and parties from the ground up. We’ll source the venue, arrange the décor and lighting, put together the perfect menu and do whatever it takes to create an exquisite event for you.

Manage

If you are a celebrity or famous sports personality, then we may be able to help you. Be it a meet-and-greet, ‘dinner with the squad’, brand endorsement or sponsorship opportunity, our talent management and consulting expertise can facilitate valuable partnerships, connections and opportunities, that can help elevate your profile and personal brand and bring you more opportunities.

Testimonials

Some kind words from our customers

I have used Simon Smith Events for my hospitality needs at Music and Sporting events for a number of years and they have always delivered for me both corporately and personally. I have got to know the guys very well and would recommend their services for whatever you require.

- Martyn Holman

Jo at Simon Smith Events has been looking after our ticketing needs for years. He never fails to understand what we’re looking for and provides fantastic packages. We’ve never been let down and know Jo will always go the extra mile to make sure we’re happy. He’s our ‘go to’ provider.

- Philip Greenhalgh

Everything went very well. We had a great day and the facilties were first class! Very well organised! Should get some good business opportunities from it too!

- I - Global Energy Management Company

Jo: Tickets were great- thank you for another perfect event. La Tribune (hospitality on day 1) has the best location as it is right next to Court 1 and Phillippe Chatrier. Le Pavillion is a nicer set up (and has air conditioning) but a far walk and you have to go through security each time as it is actually off the grounds. We liked both, but giving you details as I thought you would like to know for other clients. We absolutely loved the French Open and will go again. Thank you!

- VIP guests from the United States

Hi Preetinder I hope you had a good weekend! I wanted to drop you an email and say thank you so much for helping us organise the concert on Friday. The bloggers loved it and the hospitality area was perfect – it was great to be able to treat them to the food and drink before and after the show. The whole event went really smoothly and Beyoncé and Jay-Z were amazing! We are definitely keen to organise some more events for later this summer.

- Leading online retailer

I just wanted to thank you for your help in making Friday a major success for us. As you know, it was a very important mix of people attending and essential that everything possible went to plan. As promised, you delivered a great evening – relatively stress free. The staff we had were excellent – very used to serving in a confined space. If we can keep a note of their names so that we can request them again? Valet Parking worked very well We now have a format to work with Good news all round
