Ian, our MD, was kindly invited to the finals of Miss Newcastle 2009 – The Year of Burlesque, by Richard and Denise Dobson-Cudmore, Lynn Sanderson and Sam Trainor from Dandy Events.

We have recently completed the re-branding for Dandy Events, who are the north’s leading event decoration specialists.

They have over 20 years of experience in planning, designing and coordinating the finest weddings and events in the North East of England and throughout the UK.

The event was held at the Newcastle Marriott Hotel, Gosforth Park on Friday 22nd May and was sponsored by Nu-Age Medical Spa.

All proceeds were donated to Charlie Bear 30/60 Appeal.

Sunderland’s Annual Civic Ball is renowned for being a grand evening. This year Rufus helped to create the 1970s themed ballroom dressing for Sunderland City Council and Dandy Events, with disco-posed silhouettes, florescent vinyl records and branded event literature.

Over 500 guests attended the charity fundraising event, which was held at Crowtree Leisure Centre in Sunderland on Friday.

The Sunderland Echo Portfolio Business Awards had a brand new look this year. Rufus were invited to rebrand the awards, to modernise the visual image and in turn create more interest in entering, sponsoring and attending these prestigious awards.

Each year the awards celebrate the achievements of the Wearside and East Durham business community. More than 330 people attended this year’s awards ceremony which took place at the end of October at the Stadium of Light. The number of guests attending increased on last year’s numbers and overall entries were also up by 15% on last year.

As part of the rebrand Rufus also designed the entry packs, invitations and bespoke winning trophies, which are made from solid glass individually etched with the new logo and winners’ details.

The overall winner, ‘Sunderland Echo Portfolio Business of the Year 2008′, was Calsonic Kansei, who design and manufacture heater and air conditioning systems, engine cooling systems and exhaust systems for the automotive industry, employing over 2000 people mainly throughout the North East.

Other winners included Tom Barraclough, of Thompson Building Centres, who won the ‘Employee of the Year’ award (sponsored by Gentoo Group) and Barclays for ‘Employer of the Year’ (sponsored by Fusion).

We invited Dandy Events, Sunderland City Council and Business Link to join us on our table for the evening, where we were wined, dined and entertained by the legendary Red Dwarf and Brittas Empire star Chris Barrie.
