Alive-X

A-Livex was born out of the spirit of events itself, its resilience and its agility, but it’s also about testing new formats. The event was run over a single day at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London W2 2TY with limited capacity in a Covid-secure environment, yet with one major difference – the booths were the hotel rooms.

Sustainable merchandise and promotional items Karl set up the Media Hut stall in one of the hotel rooms and spent a profitable day there discussing sustainable promotional merchandise and Covid safe supplies such as hand sanitiser stations, hand gels, branded face masks, etc.

November 2017 - Our Technical Manager Tim Miles-Hayler has now completed 20 years service!

He started way back on 21st November 1997 as a Multimedia Developer. At that time, Media Huts business model was putting demonstration software onto CD-ROMs, these were then distributed with new PCs, modems, and games controllers. Tim was charge of the multi-media software development.

As the internet slowly replaced the CD as a distribution medium, Media Huts business turned to creating corporate presentations. Tim was at the centre of this, and developed a number of presentation projects for some major clients. Over the years, Tim's focus changed to in-house CD/DVD duplication and maintaining the in-house computer network and PCs. For which he's proved to be invaluable.

Well done, and thank you Tim!

We don't know what the digital landscape will look like over the next 20 years, but hope you'll be there to help us through it!

October 2017 - Our General Manager David Dickinson has now completed 20 years service!

He started way back on 8th October 1997 as an Accounts Clerk. He took on a number of roles over the years in sales, administration, and production control, before finally becoming General Manager.

As a key member of the team, he can often be found with our Sales and Marketing Director Karl Dukes manning an exhibition stand, and usually setting it up while Karl is 'networking' in the bar.....

Although Davids duties have seen him travelling as far as the USA and even Australia, he manages most of the business operations on a day to day basis. The smooth operation of our company is down to the efforts of David. Making him an especially valuable employee.

Well done, and thank you David!

We all look forward to working with you for another 20 years!
