Read more about Stanley Events
Stanley Events is a not-for-profit social enterprise based in the County Durham town whose name it carries.
The brainchild of director Carl Marshall in 2011, his initial concept for the firm was a vehicle to inject the feel-good factor into the town.
Anna Marshall, manager of Stanley Events, was brought in and helped turn events like the “Burning Rock Festival” into huge successes that bring thousands of people into the town.
The annual Stanley Fireworks Spectacular attracts 10,000 families to the town every year and the hugely successful delivery of a host of music festivals and family fun days has seen Stanley Events recruited by councils and private companies to deliver events.
Now fully established and boasting a wealth of experience, Stanley Events wants to make your event, an event to remember.
Carl said: “We are a not-for-profit company, meaning any surplus we generate is reinvested straight back into the organisation.
“We have over 60 casual event and SIA accredited staff alongside myself, Anna, leisure staff and a devoted team of community volunteers, all dedicated to increasing vibrancy in Stanley.
“Stanley Events wants to deliver great events while providing jobs and opportunities to the people of County Durham – we provide a range of services including events management, equipment hire, event stewarding, mobile staging, SIA licensed staff and promotion.”
