As the summer officially came to an end, a perfectly timed break in the weather allowed us to gather with friends and colleagues at our Summer Soiree.
Thursday 18th September 2025 saw industry partners, colleagues and friends gather at our Clever Association HQ for our September Soiree.
A fortunate turn in the weather, amazing cocktails from The Reserve Cocktail Bar, Neapolitan pizzas from Yorkshire Pizza Co, and a stunning line up of cars from Redline Specialist Cars helped make the evening one to remember.
Showroom Opening
This gathering marked the official opening of our refurbished showroom, a space dedicated to showcasing integrated technology and design.
It was a privilege to share this milestone with clients, partners, and friends of the business. We’re very excited to start sharing details of the finished showroom with you over the coming weeks; the design, installation, and interiors, as well as the incredible work from our team and partners who helped bring this space to life.
Eats
Yorkshire Pizza Co kept their fabulous Neapolitan pizzas coming throughout the evening, with the Clever Association team selecting our own choice of toppings before the event, including locally cured meats.
Sarah and her team have over ten years’ experience and understand that every event is unique. What started as a passion for great pizza back in 2012 lead to them taking a leap of faith in 2015, founding Yorkshire Pizza Co. Their dedication to quality and passion for great pizza is immediately clear, with a strong commitment to serve happiness by the slice!
Drinks
The evening also had expertly crafted cocktails; designed, mixed and served by Michael and his team from The Reserve Cocktail Bar. Michael is a local at heart, but spent ten years in London perfecting his craft alongside some of the leading bartenders in the industry at venues including Harvey Nichols, Soho House and the world-famous bars in The Savoy Hotel.
Michael lives and breathes hospitality, his passion encouraged him to go mobile and set up on his own, something that we’re all grateful for!
Music
The Technics turntables were dusted off so that some of our team could bring the party vibes, playing a wide range of music, all on vinyl. Funk and soul favourites got the party started, with the musical journey moving forward throughout the evening into deep house tracks. Songs that once graced the White Island could know be heard ringing out across a business park in Yorkshire!
Thank you to all who joined us, we’ll definitely be doing it again, so watch this space!
A special thank you also goes out to our brilliant team; this event was as much a celebration of you and your commitment as it was our showroom launch.
