We are a friendly, experienced team who love making a difference to the way our clients engage with their customers, partners and employees. The core team of Harvey, Alice and Jane are constantly reinventing what we offer to our clients because we genuinely get a kick out of meeting new people and being at the cutting edge of what’s new in our market. We collaborate with a wide range of specialist suppliers on a project by project basis. This means we are flexible, fast and responsive to our client’s exact requirements.
Harvey has been in business for over 18 years. He founded his first business venture with Tim Rodber in 1996 which he later sold to Williams Lea in 2003. Harvey Thorneycroft Limited was founded shortly after. At the heart of each business is Harvey’s ability to look after existing and new clients. Harvey is driven by a desire to understand the strategic drivers of his clients and uses his extensive network of people, unrivaled knowledge of locations and years of event experiences to help address the issues that his clients are facing. Harvey enjoys meeting new people and ‘paying forward’ the experiences and the contacts he has gained throughout his business career.
Harvey's love for events goes back to 1996, when he arranged a group of English and South African players to take part in a final one-off tour of Ghana. He organised this project to celebrate the end of the amateur era and raise money for injured rugby player Max Brito. A documentary was recently made to honour the spectacular occasion.
