Event Management Specialists

Our Mission

Over the years, we’ve shifted our focus to heavily look after the organiser of events. Whether that’s a maid of honour, mum, groom-to-be, or birthday girl, we want to make life as simple and easy as possible for them. As well as using our expertise and tricks of the trade from experience, we also implement the latest technology to make organising straightforward and even fun! Individual payment options, automated itineraries and 24/7 website access all help to look after the organiser first.

• Make event organising simple
• Save the organiser time researching
• Offer the best experiences
• Save the whole group money
• Develop lasting supplier partnerships

Diversity & Inclusion

At Funktion Events, we’re committed to our workplace culture, including making everyone feel valued and respected. Our priority is to create an all-inclusive environment for people to flourish irrespective of their gender, age, gender identity, status, sexual orientation, disability, race, gender expression or religion.

Mental & Physical Wellbeing

With every 1 in 4 people affected by a mental health problem in England, supporting colleagues with long and short term physical and mental well-being is more important than ever. As a company, we’re constantly evolving our internal support network, such as using tools like Syndi Health for our employees.

LGBTQ+

Funktion Events are a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community, always eager to celebrate colleagues and promote important LGBTQ+ issues. Often, our events include working with large groups of diverse individuals, and we focus on creating a safe space for celebrations, work events and more.

2008

The newly formed Funktion Events managed to survive the 2008 financial crisis by adapting the business and expanding into several areas of events.

2011

The business built and launched its first proper website where we could showcase our activities and packages for hen parties, stag do’s, and birthday events.

2014

Big moves happened – literally! The business upped sticks from north of Manchester to the beautiful city of Chester to set up a tiny office in its centre.

2017

We expanded our locations into new territories, including over 25 European destinations! Now we’re offering cities in Germany, France, Spain & more.

2020

COVID-19 and the pandemic ruined everyone’s plans for the foreseeable future, and Funktion Events went home to stay safe during this unprecedented time.

2022

2022 – All the team were firmly back in the office, grateful to be safe and working again. This year, we’ve seen more growth, taking on 6+ new staff members and offering flexible working for more vulnerable staff!

Committed To Our People

As well as customer service, excellent recruitment and retention of our staff has been the driving force behind continued year-on-year high growth. We’re lucky to have built a team of positive attitudes and ambitious staff passionate about the industry and its goals. What makes Funktion Events unique is that the business believes in giving people a chance and chose to partner with Cheshire College to take on multiple appren­ti­ceships. From that, the company was awarded the Business Apprenticeship Ambassador of the Year, a significant milestone!

In such a fun, leisure-based industry, the team get the one of a kind opportunity to have family trips and test the activities we offer organisers and groups. This means all team members are better educated on what we offer to answer customer questions, and it also gives time for team bonding and making memories.
