Supplier Spotlight: Oxygen Event Services

At Story Events, we value trusted suppliers like Oxygen Event Services, one of London’s top event production agencies. Recently, they expertly handled all production elements for our flagship exhibitions, including power, lighting, AV, and set design. Founded by Paul Edwards in 2004, Oxygen has grown into a leading production supplier known for its exceptional logistical and technical planning.

What sets Oxygen apart is our commitment to not only deliver on the technical and logistical elements of an event, but also bringing a creative, bespoke touch to every project. We deeply understand that no two events are alike, so we approach each one with fresh ideas and customised solutions. Additionally, we pride ourselves on our collaborative approach—working closely with our clients to truly understand their vision and goals. Whether it’s a corporate event, product launch or beautiful party, we combine cutting-edge technology with a personalised service to create unforgettable experiences.

One of the most memorable events I managed was a Town Hall Address for the US Embassy at Lindley Hall, featuring President Obama and 500 young leaders. The event was unique due to its high secrecy and a tight turnaround of just four days. Despite the stress, coordinating an event for President Obama was a once-in-a-lifetime experience—truly a “pinch me” moment!

This year, we’re embracing exciting trends to elevate our events, starting with LED screens and advanced content creation to bring live visuals, social media feeds, and presentations to life. We’ve also seen a rise in demand for sustainable event production, prompting us to adopt energy-efficient LED lighting, recyclable set materials, and waste reduction practices. Our focus is on creating impactful, innovative experiences while prioritising sustainability.

Collaboration with event management agencies is all about synergy and open communication. We work closely with agencies to understand their vision, goals, and challenges, then offer the technical expertise and creative input to bring their ideas to life. As an extension of their team, we align our processes to ensure seamless execution from concept to completion.

Come prepared with a clear understanding of your event goals, budget, and timeline. Open discussions about your vision, needs, and challenges help us determine if we’re the right fit. The more details we have, the better we can tailor our approach to meet your objectives and desired impact. Be open to collaboration—we often provide creative solutions you might not have considered.

In a competitive market, we’ve mastered balancing budgets while delivering high-quality production. It’s about smart planning and prioritizing elements that create the biggest impact. Creative solutions like intelligent lighting or LED walls can transform a space without costly set builds. Flexibility with timelines, such as booking early, can also lead to significant savings.
