Birmingham-based direct mail fulfilment and print management services provider, Baker Goodchild, was proud to be the main print and wine sponsor for this year’s prestigious Direct Marketing Association’s (DMA) West Ball 2016, held at Manor By The Lake. 

For the third year in a row, Baker Goodchild was a main sponsor of the event, producing all the printed promotional material for the occasion, as well supplying the wines. Baker Goodchild was responsible for producing the printed invitations, menus, place cards, wine tags, and table plans. The firm also supplied a mixture of Red, White and Rose wines as part of its sponsorship.

The West Ball is billed as one of the must attend social events of the year for members of the DMA and service providers to the sector, and each year is staged in a different location and with a different theme.

This year’s event was held at the atmospheric location of Manor By The Park in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, formerly the home of aviation pioneer, Sir George Dowty. The West Ball also adopted a 1940’s theme, with big band music from the era, coupled with a 1950’s speakeasy bar to culminate the evening’s entertainment together with a champagne bar.

Set in seven acres, the palatial Manor By The Lake has six function rooms which can host up to 250 guests, with 12 luxury bedrooms and suites, the locations boasts its own original jazz bar and opulent multi-room Rock Bar, with a vintage style jukebox, games room and private club room.

Speaking about the print and wine sponsorship for The West Ball, Baker Goodchild Managing Director, Lorraine Burnell, stated, “We (Baker Goodchild) are proud to be associated with this unique and must attend event for the DMA, and delighted and honoured to have produced all the printed material and provided the wine for this social occasion. This is the third year in a row we have provided sponsorship, continuing our excellent relationship with the DMA.”
