Every year Andrew Reynolds has at least one Entrepreneurs Bootcamp.
Over the years these have been held in different arenas, such as the Brighton Centre, BIC and the Wembley Conference Centre. In 2010 Andrew Reynolds and his team staged the biggest bootcamp of all at the 02 Arena.
The phenomenal success of Andrew Reynolds Entrepreneurs Bootcamp at the 02 Arena led to an exciting conclusion for Andrew and his team. The Entrepreneurs Bootcamp won the SILVER award for Business Event of the Year at Visit London Awards 2010.
Andrew Reynolds inspiring leadership which led to this award was won over finalists including the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson for his launch of London’s new ICC at the Excel Centre, BT Wholesale and Peugeot for their RCZ launch.
The Star studded awards ceremony was held in the interesting setting of the Bloomsbury Big Top.
Andrew Reynolds received the award from Dame Kelly Holmes. Also receiving the award with Andrew was Rick Stainton MD of Smyle Events.
Rick Stainton and his team at Smyle Events managed all the production aspects of Andrew Reynolds Entreprenurs Bootcamp at the 02 Arena. This was no mean feat, as there were many technical challenges involved in creating the largest indoor projection screen ever used in the UK and a first for the 02.
This is what Andrew Reynolds said as he accepted the award, “To receive this award is a very great honour, especially given the ‘Big Business’ events we were up against for this award. For our Entrepreneurs Bootcamp event to be recognized within the UK conference and events industry as one of the top two Business Events in London is great recognition.
The event was a huge success and praise has to go to the team at Smyle Events who managed all the production aspects of bringing our vision for the potential of this massive event to the stage of the 02 Arena.”
Andrew Reynolds stepped aside as Rick Stainton of Smyle Events added, “Many attendees of the Entrepreneurs Bootcamp went online at C&IT and voted for the event, we were bowled over by the hundreds of comments left by those attendees who wrote from their heart about what a massive positive impact the Bootcamp event had on them.”
During the award ceremony Twiggy was recognized with an outstanding achievement award. Aleisha Dixon was presented with the Sound of London award. Andrew Reynolds and his team, with Rick Stainton and his team, sat amongst the other guests listening to performances by Aleisha Dixon and Mica Paris who sand with the London Community Gospel Choir.
