 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. Since our incorporation in 2004 we’ve secured Granada Television, Tesco, IKEA, Imperial College as loyal clients and been awarded preferred supplier status with Deloitte. 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 chauffer 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 we manage in pur case studies…..” |

We feel the value of a Rock and Ruby managed event isn't there to be analysed - it's to be experienced. For that reason we encourage potential and actual clients meet with us to see what we do, and how and why we do it.
OK, we know that’s not exactly original - but even the most creative people borrow ideas sometimes…
If you are interested in discussing your event requirements with a member of ROCK AND RUBY please feel free to make contact through your preferred option in the Contacts section. Alternatively you’re more than welcome to contact our Director Gemma Stone; she’ll always make time to discuss your needs.
