When a storm forced the cancellation of a Royal Marines recruitment event in February, this company provided a virtual one instead — useful experience for when lockdown was announced the following month. The East Sussex firm organises and produces events, most of which it is now holding online. The company is led by Michael Gietzen, 35, and sales hit £20.4m in the year to August, bolstered by projects such as helping create the government’s “Get ready for Brexit” campaign. Other clients include Sky, ITV and Marks & Spencer.
