Black Book Events Celebrates Six Years in Business
Events agency Black Book has reached a significant milestone this year, celebrating six years since its founding in 2020, having grown from a single-founder venture into a seven-strong team delivering venue finding, event management, incentive travel and bespoke experiences for corporate clients across the UK and internationally.
The agency was founded by Joe O'Connell in 2020, built around a commission-based venue finding model that meant clients would never be charged a mark-up for the agency's expertise or contacts. That founding principle has remained unchanged through six years of growth, even as the business has expanded well beyond venue sourcing into full-service event delivery, all while operating as a remote-first team.
Over the past year in particular, the agency has continued to build out its team, with several new hires joining across venue finding and client solutions, alongside ongoing investment in the internal systems and processes needed to support a growing, distributed team.
Reflecting on the milestone, founder Joe O'Connell said: "Six years in, we're still guided by the same idea we started with, that events are better when they're built on honesty and genuinely good relationships. It's been a real privilege to work with the clients and partners who've been part of that journey."
With the team now firmly established and continuing to grow, Black Book heads into its sixth year with an expanded offering and a track record spanning conferences, international incentive travel and bespoke corporate events for clients across a range of sectors.
