Official opening

Landlords and property investors in Paisley were guests of honour at the official opening of the local Merchant Lettings office in early November. The Extra Time Partnership team laid on an informative and relaxed event with plenty of refreshments at this sociable evening at the Watermill Hotel in Paisley, helping to establish a positive profile for the lettings agency and forge new links with local business people. Arranging this convivial evening was just one element of a programme of promotional work extratime is carrying out for Merchant Lettings.

Glitz, glamour and fast cars

An annual ball and awards ceremony with added Va Va Voom was required, and that’s what extratime delivered. This October, 450 excited guests gathered at the famous Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh for the Peter Vardy annual ball. It was an unforgettable evening and an opportunity to bring together colleagues and VIP guests to celebrate all the achievements made by this successful car dealership throughout the past year.

“Congratulations on the ball – a real success!” and “Great job guys – what a night” were typical of the feedback we received. See the extratime partnership facebook page for pictures and details.

Guests were greeted on the iconic Murrayfield trackside by four of the latest cars, a big screen welcome and a full pipe band. Once inside, they were cocooned within a stage set evoking the corporate style. There was dancing and casino action, as well as the announcement of prestigious company awards.

The extratime team can’t wait for next year’s bash – there’s plenty of time to work out how to make it even more spectacular than this one!

Magic launch for new Mini Coupe

elaine — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 13:02:40 +0000

The new Mini Coupe is all the rage at the moment – it’s even on the Jonathan Ross show – and the extratime partnership played a big part in the hotly anticipated launch. On the big day in October we whipped the cover off a shiny red Mini Coupe at our inspirational event for Peter Vardy at their showroom in Edinburgh. Our launch party marked the arrival in Scotland of this much vaunted new addition to the Mini range. See all the photos on our Facebook page

To give it a unique twist, the extratime team came up with a ‘Mini magic’ theme, carrying this through from the ‘No Illusion’ tag line to the celebrity magician, and fire-breathing champion cocktail maker. Kevin McMahon, star of Faking It reality TV show, performed amazing tricks for the crowd of invited guests. Every detail had been meticulously planned, from co-ordination of the branding and product placement to welcoming and inspiring the guests. All in all it was fun, stylish and magical – just like the Mini Coupe!

24 Heures Du Mans

elaine — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 22:40:18 +0000

Extra Time Partnership were delighted to host the Peter Vardy Challenge Cup incentive programme at 24 Heures Du Mans. This was the 79th Grand Prix of Endurance held at the Circuit de Le Sarthe. It was an amazing weekend of international motorsport enjoyed by the Challenge Cup Winners. The race started with the fly past from the French air force. On site and on circuit we enjoyed some great camaraderie with our fellow campers and along with some great motorsport, plus the amazing Razorlight in concert on Saturday evening. The survivors made it down to the Mulsanne straight during the night for an essential part of the Le Mans experience. Supercars driving in the darkness at speeds of up to 200mph through trees, speed brake into Arnage corner before negotiating the Virage Porsche and finally sweeping through Virage Indianapolis. Look out for some footage to follow on the website shortly. We observed the race finish from the terrace, a real panoramic position overlooking the end of the pit lane and looking down on the scrutineering process – the type of access motorsport enthusiasts only dream about. Naturally, there were lots of beers along the way!

MOBO Magic in Glasgow

elaine — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:23:53 +0000

Wednesday 30th September saw a great night for events in Glasgow with the MOBO Awards being held outside London for the first time in 14 years.

With acts like N-Dubz, Mr Hudson, Chipmunk, JLS and Tinchy Stryder all performing live, and the inimitable Keri Hilson and Reggie Yates as presenters for the evening, it was always going to be a dramatic evening with everyone looking for tickets and wanting to be a part of it. Elaine Hamilton was a guest at the Awards this year, and details her experience below.

I arrived at the MOBOs just in time to walk along the red carpet as both Tinchy Stryder and Mr Peter Andre (presenting backstage for the MOBOs) exited their cars. I was astounded by the hype and excitement generated by the Glasgow crowd, everybody dressed up to the nines and super super stylish in the way only Glasgow could be at 6.00pm on a chilly Autumn evening.

As I enjoyed all that the event had to offer, lucky enough to have access to the VIP area and later, a table close to the stage, I was hit by what a fantastic showcase this was for Scotland and for Glasgow. The acts were exciting and entertained throughout, the tribute to Michael Jackson was, of course, significant to everybody at the SECC in their own way, but most importantly for us as event organisers was the demonstration of what we can take on and what can be delivered by the exceptional talents in Glasgow and across Scotland.
