About Capability Events

The Capability Mission

"To perpetuate the values of our namesake, the legendary Capability Brown, by applying creative vision to every event and, in so doing, provide magical occasions that live on in guests' memories long afterwards."

Ben Leeke (owner)

Ben Leeke started organising events at fifteen and quickly established the now legendary 'Hellfire' club. The growth continued until in 1999 he produced the massive Black and White millennium ball. With top name acts, performing on a stage built onto the front of a huge country house, the event was attended by 3500 guests. He then worked as an exclusive event consultant for some of the UK's leading country houses. He soon started to notice a genuine need at the higher end of the event market for bespoke mobile bars and after a short period of research and development he launched 'Capability Events' in May 2003. It was a smart collaboration of all the contacts and knowledge that Ben had collected over fifteen years. Within two months clients included Virgin, The BBC, a wealth of high end celebrities and individuals. The bars Ben had created were unique to the UK market and soon Capability Events were being booked by clients all over the country. Their flexibility and ease for transport, construction and branding meant clients could mould the bars to their event, creating the desired atmosphere and establishing Capability Events as the leading mobile bar specialists in the UK.

Ben still produces events worldwide.

In his spare time Ben is a part-time fireman, plays rugby for the local 1st team and treads the boards in various semi-professional theatre productions.

Ben Wilson

After an explosion of business. 'Capability' decided it was time to expand and brought Ben Wilson on board. (Left) Ben W is primarily from an advertising and marketing back ground, and coupled with Ben Leeke's never ending production knowledge it was the beginnings of a successful partnership. Ben W has previously worked for the Telegraph' and spent 4 years between London and New York working for clients such as Diageo, Apple Mac, BA and the BBC.

In his spare time Ben W is an avid musician.

 

Kate McCreanor:

In June 2007 Kate joined the expanding team at Capability Events. A media and communications graduate, Kate brought some much needed organization and key communication skills into our newly located office. She is responsible for the daily running of the office and is on the front line dealing with old and new clients!
On events, Kates' friendly and approachable manner means she is ideal to liase with and entertain clients. She has quickly become an indispensable member of the Capability team and a much needed calming influence on the rest of the team!
In her spare time, Kate loves all things fashion, fancy dress, cheese, thunderstorms, shoes, films, popcorn and dancing like a fool.

Lorcan Lynch:

Lorcan first worked for us in October 2006 and has become a strong member of the team since then. Having started in the warehouse and as a bar staff member, he has worked his way up to being one of our main event managers. His understanding of event production and polite manner with clients means that as of January 2008 he has also taken over a desk in our new office. Aside from working on events, Lorcan will now be using his experience to help with our ever increasing sales from new clients.
Lorcan is very sociable and plays first fifteen rugby for his local team. He loves Brechtian theatre and is an established break dancer.

Our testimonials speak for themselves:-

Ben,
Two weeks on, time to reflect. Many thanks indeed for Capability events contribution to the success of the above party. Your understanding of the needs and behaviour of the target audience, and ability to satisfy and control it on the night, does you immense credit. Well done! Your additional input into the vexed question of electrical equipment safety, was very much appreciated. I feel you have the right ingredients to make a very successful service company and I wish you the very best for the future. Should you wish for a more formal endorsement or any further support, do not hesitate to contact me. 
Best regards 
Mike Tunnell

Ben, 
Just a quick note to say thanks and congratulations for the splendid job Capability Events performed at our recent Village Bash which was a huge success. 
Feedback from your staff on the night confirmed that commercially it was a success and we sincerely hope that you'll be able to work with us again next August Bank Holiday. 
Please pass on out thanks to all concerned.
Regards, 
Gary
