Business Pillars 

SUSTAINABILITY

INCLUSIVITY

WELLBEING

INTERACTIVITY

COLLABORATION

I wanted to create a personable business that stemmed from true authenticity and a desire for positive change. The event industry has been making great strides but we cannot become complacent and performative and Pink Onion Creative is a brand that clients can truly trust, be guided by and support contributing to a better world whilst also achieving their goals.

At the core of Pink Onion Creative lie sustainable and inclusive practices, not as separate entities, but as fundamental elements that enrich the event experience. We believe that the key to a truly successful event is the seamless integration of these principles. They aren't mere add-ons; they are intrinsic to our event design, creating an immersive and enriching experience that shows Pink Onion Creative at the forefront of thinking and event leadership.
