The client
Born Free Foundation
The date
June 2007
Client outcomes
Our client was looking to raise as much money as possible for the international wildlife charity and to accommodate sponsors including a full sized Land Rover Terrapod ride and the four millionth Land Rover which was being donated to Born Free. South Africa was the very apt theme for the event and everything from food and beverage, entertainment and theming had a distinctly South African flavour.
The solution
‘the room’ by the river provided ample space outside in the garden to host the Land Rover plus the drinks reception for maximum sponsor exposure. The Fortesqueue’s team helped wherever possible to create the maximum amount of impact for the least amount of cost.
The creative idea
A South African menu was created especially for Born Free using locally sourced ingredients so as to have minimum environmental impact – not an easy task but one the Fortesqueue’s team got thoroughly stuck into.
Client feedback
“An enormous thank you from all of us at Born Free for†all Fortesqueue's did to make last Friday’s ball such a success. The feedback I am getting is that your team is the nicest we have worked with.” – Virginia McKenna, Born Free Foundation
