2018 British Business Awards: Event Production for British Chamber

The 2018 British Business Awards is a biennial event, organized by the British Chamber of Commerce Beijing to honour outstanding British businesses performing well within China. The event also recognizes women who have created a positive impact in both China and England whilst doing business. In addition to this, companies who have contributed positively towards global sustainability, education and innovation were also acknowledged.

2018 marked the 10th year of celebrating this event. On November 15, 2018, the awards were hosted at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sanlitun. 300 guests representing a variety of British and Chinese companies from different industries gathered to celebrate the event. A total of 9 awards were presented to the finalists.

The event design of the space needed to provide guests a place to gather and take pictures. The red and blue colors which represent parts of both the British and Chinese flags, mixed together to create a purple tone in the logo for the event, which perfectly represents the intermix of these two cultures in the business environment of both China and England.

5 Star Plus Retail Design created a backdrop that tied together the famous skylines of London, Beijing, and Shanghai to symbolize the connectivity these two countries have in the world of business. In addition to this, the lighting and branded features of the venue were important considerations to create a dynamic effect for the event.
