We’re always on the lookout for the next incredible incentive destination… and Corfu has just jumped straight to the top of the list! 🌊☀️🇬🇷

We were lucky enough to visit two stunning properties on the island - Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection and Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa - and the wow factor is real.

Both venues offer everything you’d want from a truly special corporate incentive trip. Think azure waters, breathtaking clifftop views, world-class spa facilities and the kind of setting that makes people feel genuinely rewarded for their hard work✨

And when it comes to activities? There’s something for everyone:
⛵ Sailing & boat tours
🤿 Snorkelling in crystal-clear waters
🐴 Horseback riding through olive groves
🧖 Spa days and total relaxation
🏛️ Exploring the magical UNESCO-listed Old Corfu Town
🏖️ Simply unwinding on the beach

Whether your group wants adventure or pure relaxation, or a mix of both, Corfu delivers in style.

Messages like these make everything worthwhile 💙

We pour so much love and energy into every event we manage - when a client takes the time to say thank you, it genuinely makes our day (and our week, and our month! 😄)

These two messages landed and we just had to share them. Knowing that our clients feel supported, valued, and well looked after is exactly why we do what we do ✨

A huge thank you to the incredible clients who sent these - you know who you are! Working with you is an absolute pleasure, and we can’t wait for the next event 🥂

If you’re planning a corporate event and want a team that genuinely cares about getting it right, we’d love to hear from you 👇

Just back from Tuscany 🇮🇹✨ and what a trip it was…

We had the absolute privilege of running an incentive trip for a truly special group of people, based at the breathtaking 5⭐ Hotel Le Fontanelle in the heart of Chianti - and every single moment of it was unforgettable.

The programme was packed with the very best Tuscany has to offer. Hands-on cooking at Le Pietre Vive cookery school, truffle hunting through the Tuscan countryside, wine tasting at the stunning vineyards of Vallepicciola, and a showstopping dinner at Il Visibilio - a 1 Michelin-star restaurant with a surprise seasonal tasting menu that had everyone talking 🍽️🌟

This is exactly why we love what we do. Incentive travel is about so much more than logistics - it’s about creating experiences that stay with people long after they’ve landed back home.

Thinking about an incentive trip for your team? We’d love to help make it happen 💙

We love being ahead of the curve… 👀✨

Months before Maria Restaurant in Sheffield even opened its doors, we'd already spotted its potential. During the renovation stage, we booked it for a client - and last Wednesday, a full day before the official opening, we hosted 60 guests for what turned out to be a truly special evening 🍝🥂

Maria is the brand new restaurant from Ronnie and Jack, the duo behind the much-loved Bench Sheffield chain. A heartfelt homage to Ronnie's Italian heritage, the restaurant takes its name and its soul from his grandmother, drawing inspiration from Italian trattorias and the warmth of southern European cooking.

A restaurant for every occasion and every guest, Maria is the kind of place that feels like a discovery… intimate, characterful, and genuinely delicious. Our client's guests certainly agreed.

When a client brief lands with an Olympic theme, there’s really only one place to start the search… 👀

We headed to London Stadium in Stratford, the iconic home of the 2012 Olympic Games, on a scouting mission for a client planning a 250-person, two-day conference with an Olympic theme.

Built to host the London 2012 Olympic Games, the Stadium has been transformed into a spectacular events destination. The spaces have been designed to incorporate the history of the Olympics whilst also looking to the future, which for a client with an Olympic-themed conference, felt almost too good to be true✨

The Forge particularly caught my eye, a sophisticated space seating up to 250 for a conference, with floor-to-ceiling views over the City of London.

And the location couldn’t be more practical for a two-day residential event. The Stratford Hotel is just a short walk away and boasts a magnificent triple-height lobby, a rooftop sky terrace, two bars and a restaurant - this was my personal favourite of the hotels in the area!

With St Pancras International just 6 miles away and 58 trains per hour from Stratford station, getting delegates in from across the country is easy too.

What a great find! 🙌

We've just been to visit one of London's most extraordinary venues… and it did not disappoint✨

8½ London at Dowgate Hill, home of the historic Skinners' Hall, has just reopened after an extensive renovation project, and the result is truly breathtaking.

The original 'Copped Hall' on this site was first leased way back in 1295. Destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, it was rebuilt and completed in 1672 and has been hosting dinners, gatherings and events ever since. Now Grade I listed with ancient monument status, the building has been lovingly restored to bring it firmly into the 21st century, whilst preserving every ounce of its incredible character.

And here's the bit that really sparked our imagination… 👀

During the renovation, previously unknown rooms were discovered in the basement. Hidden for who knows how long, quietly sitting beneath one of London's most historic streets. How incredible is that?!

The spaces themselves are stunning - versatile, beautifully finished, and surprisingly accessible.

Whether you're planning an intimate board meeting, a theatre-style conference for up to 250 delegates, a prestigious AGM, or even a civil wedding ceremony, 8½ London has a space to suit.

It's the kind of venue that impresses from the moment your guests arrive, and stays with them long after they leave.

Get in touch with the Steel Events team if you'd like to explore this remarkable venue for your next corporate event, conference or celebration.

We’re back with Part 2 from our Lille venue hunt 🇫🇷… and it just keeps getting better!

In our last post, we shared details of the three fantastic conference venues we visited. Whilst in Lille we also visited five hotels – all within easy walking distance of the city centre.

But it wasn’t all business… 🧇

We were treated to a truly special lunch at the iconic Méert, one of Lille’s most beloved institutions. The dining room is absolutely gorgeous – think elegant, intimate and quintessentially French. And then came the highlight: heading down to their cellar to learn how to make their legendary traditional waffles. One of those unique experiences that reminds you just how much a destination has to offer beyond the conference room ✨

The evening ended perfectly with a cosy Raclette dinner at Grand Hôtel Bellevue - Grand Place, Lille. 🧀 – the ideal way to wind down after a full day of exploring.

A huge thank you to Paul from Amplified Hotels and Marion and Claire from Wiziu Hotels for showing us the very best of Lille. Your knowledge, warmth and hospitality made this such a memorable trip 💙

Lille truly is a gem of a European conference destination - and we’re already excited to start matching it to the right client briefs!

We’ve been on the road again.. this time venue hunting in Lille, France 🇫🇷 & exploring large conference venues in this fantastic European city.

Just 1 hour 20 minutes on the Eurostar and you arrive right into the heart of Lille, making it incredibly accessible for international delegates. From the moment you step out of the station, everything is within walking distance – and the city itself is absolutely beautiful.

First stop: Lille Grand Palais
An impressive venue perfect for the largest of large conferences, exhibitions and corporate gatherings. The scale and flexibility of the space immediately gets the ideas flowing for major international events.

We also visited the stunning 5⭐ Hôtel Barrière Lille, complete with its own casino on site. A fantastic option for conferences looking for integrated accommodation, meeting space and evening entertainment all under one roof.

And finally Cité des Echanges – just a 10-minute drive from the city centre. Set within a peaceful park setting, this light, bright and contemporary conference centre offers a refreshing environment for large meetings and corporate events.

Such a pretty, vibrant city and a brilliant option for a European conference destination.
