Supporting CCF and Keyline with two standout business conferences

At Harris Creative, we love getting stuck into a project that brings people together – and what better opportunity than two major business conferences for two of the UK’s leading specialist distributors?

We were proud to support leading building products distributor CCF and civil and drainage specialist Keyline, both part of Travis Perkins plc, with the planning, creative and delivery of their annual colleague conferences. The two events were held back-to-back in the same week and required months of planning, creative input and logistical support, showcasing the skills and hard work of our project management and design teams.

From the initial brief through to the big day, our team worked closely with each business to create a truly memorable experience.

Setting the tone with a strong theme

Every great event starts with a great idea. For both CCF and Keyline, we helped shape clear, engaging conference themes that aligned with each brand’s personality, goals and values. These themes then ran through every element of the event, from the staging and content to the smallest printed details.

We developed bespoke visual identities for each conference, with tailored creative designed to generate excitement, spark conversation, and give each event a unique look and feel.

Attention to detail, from inbox to event day

With the themes and visuals locked in, we got to work bringing everything to life – producing a full suite of collateral that spanned both digital and physical formats.

This included:

• Clean, clear presentation slide decks to support key speakers and ensure messaging landed effectively.
• Official save the date and invitation designs, delivered digitally.
• A series of targeted eMarketing campaigns to build anticipation and keep colleagues in the loop.
• Storyboard development and scripting for each conference’s high-impact opening video.
• Fully branded venue graphics, covering both print and digital applications.
• Name badges and lanyards, with a sleek, professional finish.
• Thoughtfully designed dinner menus, table plans, centrepieces, and table numbers to tie into the wider brand aesthetic.

No detail was too small and with two different events to manage, the week called for exceptional planning, collaboration and flexibility.

A true team effort

Events like these don’t come together without a lot of passion and hard work behind the scenes. Both CCF and Keyline brought energy, enthusiasm and absolute commitment to the process, and it was a pleasure to work alongside such dedicated client teams.

We’re incredibly proud of the results – two distinct and dynamic events that not only reflected each business’s identity, but also celebrated the brilliant people behind them.

Whether it was shaping stories for the stage, crafting a seamless guest experience or making sure every slide, badge and centrepiece hit the right note, this was Harris teamwork at its best.
