East Midlands agency sets up shop at Here East following contract win

Periscope Live, the Daventry-based events agency, is setting up a new London office following a two-year contract win with the High Speed Sustainable Manufacturing Institute (HSSMI).

The agency has taken space at the HSSMI’s Stratford headquarters, located on the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and will join the London Hub of Advanced Propulsion Centre (APC) and the Digital Engineering and Test Centre at the Here East innovation campus.

Periscope Live has worked with the likes of Innovate UK, Cenex and the Proving Factory on events in over 20 different countries.

The firm’s Business Development Director, Philip Styles, commented: “Being a Midlands-based agency, opening up an additional office in London is a fantastic opportunity. The location and facilities on offer at Here East are superb, and being close to innovation and technology focused organisations like HSSMI, DETC and APC fits exactly with our sector focus and our plans for growth.”

Dr. Leslie Lee, executive director of HSSMI, added: “We are delighted by today’s announcement, which represents a significant milestone in the delivery of our mission to deploy innovative new technologies, tools and methods to support the UK manufacturing sector.

“Our strategic partnership with Periscope Live will allow us both to reach a bigger audience, as well as demonstrating our regional strength in the West Midlands and Scotland.”
