🌟At the Heart of Felixstowe Businesses – A New Chapter with the Chamber🌟

I’m absolutely delighted to share that I’ve partnered with the Felixstowe Chamber of Commerce team!

I’m proud to be stepping into a role where I can broaden my work in the local community. My focus will be on organising networking events, supporting fellow members and creating opportunities that help Felixstowe businesses thrive—together.

Over the past year, launching and growing my own business has given me invaluable insights into the power of connection, collaboration, and community. The relationships I’ve built through local networking have been game-changing — not just for business growth, but for personal confidence and shared success.

📸 This photo was taken at my very first event in the role, and it couldn’t be more symbolic. It features the new Mayor of Felixstowe, who held the same role I’m now stepping into. I’m proud (and a little nervous!) to be following in such inspiring footsteps.

If you're a local business looking to connect, collaborate, or simply explore what the Chamber can offer, I’d love to hear from you!

💛 Here’s to new opportunities, and building stronger business together.

🏆 Bespoke Event Management Company of the Year – London & South East! 🏆

I’m beyond proud to share that Bateman Elegant Events has been named the 2025/26 Bespoke Event Management Company of the Year for London & the South East — all within my first year of business. 💛

It’s hard to put into words what this means, but one thing I do know is that this wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible people around me. To every client who’s trusted me, every friend and family member who’s cheered me on, every company who’s collaborated with me — thank you. From the bottom of my heart. 🐝

This award is part of the Prestige Awards, with judging based on client feedback, online presence, company values, and a formal submission — all reviewed by an expert panel. To have stood out amongst so many talented businesses across the region is truly humbling.

The official announcement will be made in the coming months, through both national publications and a formal awards ceremony — so this is just a little teaser for now!

There’s so much more ahead… but for today, I’m taking a moment to pause and celebrate this milestone. Thank you again for helping me make this dream a reality. 💫
