Overview

Extra Mileage to Your Milestone!

HISIDE Events, South Africa’s premier corporate event management specialists, delivered extraordinary “extra mileage” to M’nB’s 30-year milestone celebration, transforming a standard corporate gathering into memories like pages in a favourite storybook for all of the 350 guests at Sandton Convention Centre.

When new leadership inherited the responsibility of celebrating three decades of business excellence, they needed more than just an event planner – they needed to partner with experience to ensure extra mileage was added to this monumental milestone.

“A huge thank you both of you & the entire HISIDE team. As usual, everything came together like a well-oiled machine, it looked amazing & we have had such incredible feedback from our franchisees, they have loved the entire experience. Your suggestions for the MC & music were spot on & the detail was incredible.

You are always so professional & organised & it takes so much pressure of us & thank you for being so patient with all our demands!. I hope the rest of your week flows seamlessly & that you take some well-deserved time off next week.”
