ENTREPRENEUR
GLOBAL EVENTS
BUSINESS & TRADE
Joe Blackman MBE is a British entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience creating extraordinary events and building businesses around the world. Today, his work spans global events, international business and advisory work.
Over the years, he has worked with business leaders, private individuals, celebrities and members of royal families.
Today, Joe continues to create events around the world while working with businesses on international growth, new markets and opportunities across borders.
His approach to both is much the same: bringing together the right people, ideas and opportunities to make ambitious things happen.
“I’ve always been drawn to big ideas and the challenge of making them happen.”
“Whether it becomes a business, an event or an opportunity, the exciting part is creating something that didn’t exist before.”
Member of the Order of the British Empire
In 2022, Joe was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, recognising his services to business and charity.
The accolade is one of the UK’s highest national honours, formed part of The Queen’s New Year Honours, awarded on the advice of the UK Government.
Events by
Joe Blackman MBE
Discretion has always been central to Joe’s work.
Trusted by members of four of the world’s royal families, celebrities, global business leaders and private clients, he understands that the most personal occasions require absolute privacy, sound judgement and meticulous attention to detail.
EXTRAORDINARY EVENTS. REMARKABLE PLACES. UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES.
Every event begins with a place, a purpose and the people at its heart.
Having travelled and worked across 74 countries, Joe brings an international perspective to creating events in some of the world’s most remarkable settings.
That might mean transforming an empty landscape into a temporary venue built entirely from the ground up, taking over a palazzo on Lake Como, welcoming guests to a private estate in the Hamptons or reimagining a hotel in England. No two celebrations begin in quite the same place.
From an intimate dinner to an ambitious multi-day celebration bringing together hundreds of guests from around the world, each occasion is created around the people at its centre.
Exceptional design, world-class entertainment, extraordinary food and meticulous production all matter, but so does the feeling of the event: the arrival, the atmosphere, the surprises and the moments guests are still talking about years later..
“The most memorable events have the ability to transport people somewhere different, even if only for a few hours. It is about creating an atmosphere, building anticipation and bringing together design, entertainment, food, people and place so that everything feels part of one complete experience. “
