Bringing sustainable production to the mainstream.

We’re working with multi-nationals to micro-businesses to direct event spend toward real sustainable outcomes. Pushing clients to demand more sustainability, with every decision.

Our Story:

Stitch is powered by Connection Crew which has been a social enterprise since its inception in 2005. In 2015, we joined a cohort of high-performing social enterprise suppliers through SEUK's Buy Social Corporate Challenge, which pledged to spend £1 billion with social enterprises. 

Soon after, we were asked to provide exhibition and event production solutions which could evidence genuine social and environmental impact. Recognising this market need, we expanded our service portfolio to meet it. And so Stitch was born.

Since then, Stitch has developed circular-enabled production solutions that deliver both direct and indirect social impact. 

We have designed, built, and delivered thousands of square meters of low-footprint exhibition stands, created biodiverse-rich welfare areas on flagship construction sites, conducted multiple virtual and hybrid events, won awards for service excellence, and removed hundreds of tonnes of carbon — all while advancing toward Net Zero and combating homelessness. 

We extend our appreciation to the organisations that encouraged us to do more. As a result, we continue to expand our services, client portfolio, and impact to meet the growing demand. 

We’re on a mission to end homelessness and reduce inequality.

Supporting people to access living-wage work that works for them in the long-run. Stitch is powered by the team at Connection Crew, a certified social enterprise providing teams of talented people to solve production solutions. In 2024, 29% of our crew has been affected by homelessness or faced barriers into work.

Putting sustainability into Practice

We’re committed to doing the best we can for people and planet. We’re working hard to reduce emissions across all our activities and influencing good practice across our communities. So far, we’ve:

Measured our carbon footprint, have a net zero plan and are working toward our 2030 net zero target.

Outlined environmental terms in contracts and agreements with suppliers.

Taken the Sustainable Procurement Pledge with SPP. Earth and the UNFCCC Race to Zero.

Encouraged 90% of crew and staff to bike, walk or use public transport in our day-to-day operations.

But it doesn’t stop here. We’re working both up and downstream to drive systemic change with all our suppliers and clients, towards becoming a circular-economy business, and nudging sustainable decisions from the inside out
