Last month we gathered to celebrate On Verve’s third birthday and the amazing achievements of our incredible team. Now that we’ve reached this incredible milestone, we wanted to celebrate the Power of 3! Three years of delivering outstanding service, three years of making people’s day, and three years of trailblazing the industry and growing our business to new heights.
We gathered at Mr Fogg’s House of Botanicals in London to host our DreamMaker Awards and 3rd birthday celebrations.
As part of the celebration, we held a fundraiser for Cancer Research, a cause chosen by our incredible DayMakers. Attendees were able to support the charity by purchasing from an exclusive line of on Verve merchandise, including T-shirts, bags and other swag. We’re delighted to announce that we raised an amazing £800 to help fund cancer research that prevents, controls and cures over 200 cancers. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported us during and after the event for your generosity and for making a difference.
Bianca Angelico, our Chief DayMaker said: “Just like last year, our birthday celebration has been magical. It is an amazing opportunity to celebrate everybody at On Verve, from our incredible DayMakers, to our clients, to everyone else that attended. This year, our team has pushed themselves to go further than ever before, growing our business while retaining our impeccable standards of service. It was a buzzing atmosphere, and so rewarding to see our team celebrated.”
