Lesley Dempsey is AP's operational manager for the event, in charge of ensuring that both the client and her staff are looked after correctly. "It's the fourth year I've been overseeing things here," says Dembsey. "AP's main function for the evening is to make sure that everyone is safe."
This event sees the college Quad and surrounding buildings turned into the venue for a night of celebration featuring four large music arenas, a fairground with traditional sideshows, casino, chocolate fountains, chill-out zones and a Pimms Tent.
"UCL Summer Ball, in terms of the venue, is not an easy event run," says Mark Williams, UCLU events manager. "We have a very difficult site with plenty of potential hazards to avoid. On taking over UCLU Events in 2007, I found AP's knowledge of the site and the event invaluable."
