A MESSAGE
FROM ROCK AND RUBY DIRECTOR, GEMMA STONE...
Well I guess
we’ve held your interest for you to
peruse this far, I hope you like what you
see. |
|
I
have to say, in the hope of not sounding like
a pushy mum, I’m really proud of our company.
Each and every person directly or indirectly involved
with our events make them happen, yes I can take
credit for bringing the right people in but they
make themselves invaluable. I stand by my theory
that an events manager by definition should be
modest, we should not be seen or heard, we are
the cogs that keep the motor running, if you are
aware of your events manager then they aren’t
getting it right.
I’m privileged to say
that I love what I do, a rarity amongst my peers.
Looking back, I started my career at an early
age – I just didn’t know it then!
My old dad says the nights out I organized for
my friends, the accommodation I booked at chez
Mr & Mrs Stone and acting as our personal
chauffeur made him prematurely bald! I say this
was early work experience.
It’s simply what I do,
who I am and where I want to be. I can tell you
why you need us but I prefer our experience to
speak for itself, check out the fabulous events
I’ve managed at pre Rock and Ruby…..” |

Lord Melvyn Bragg, ‘The
South Bank Show’
The Event Management
of The South Bank Show Awards must be second to
none, ensuring each and every guest is welcomed,
looked after and leaves having had a wonderful
time. Gemma Stone and her team were well organized,
prepared for all eventualities and have assisted
in putting the event on the A-list of social events.” |
|
 |
Charles Allen CBE, Chief
Executive, ITV plc
Gemma Stone was a committed,
creative member of our events team ensuring all
the finer details were in place, she welcomed
each guest with a smile and guaranteed them a
great time. Gemma was required to turn her hand
to a variety of events from media seminars for
the community to televised awards shows attended
by A-list stars – each she handled with
professionalism and faultless organization.” |
|
 |
Jackie Spreckley, Project
Director, ‘Whose London?’ Film Festival
I have no hesitation
in recommending Gemma Stone as a highly competent
and thoroughly professional events organizer.
Thanks to her skills and attention to detail,
the launch of London Weekend Television's Whose
London? video project in 2002 with a government
minister as guest of honour was a huge success.” |
