Celebrating Excellence with Stagecoach at the London Transport Museum
Stagecoach, the UK's largest transportation operator, hosted 80 employees for their annual Excellence Awards at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden. Guests arrived by coach and were welcomed with drinks and canapés provided by The Ripe Avocado team. The event featured bespoke table centrepieces, each representing one of ten iconic London tube stations, adding a creative and thematic touch that paid homage to the transport industry. The evening commenced with a welcome from the CEO, followed by a three-course meal interspersed with award presentations. After dessert, guests enjoyed drinks, music, and networking. We loved working with Stagecoach on these awards and how our values align with theirs when it comes to recognising excellence within their teams.
