🥳Verity Noon: Celebrating 10 years at Nineteen! 🥳
Verity’s Nineteen story began ten years ago with a freelance contract, a cupboard-sized office, and just two shows: CCR (all about Botox and bum lifts) and Transec (focused on counter-terrorism and security). Quite the contrast!
She quickly went full-time, helping evolve Transec into today’s award-winning International Security Expo. 🔐🏆
Since then, she has seen Nineteen grow from a team of 10 into a bustling international business spanning three floors and nearly 20 events and counting.

Flour Power: The Ops Team Bakes Up a Treat! 🧁👩🍳
Our favourite Ops team headed to The Big London Bake for a day out putting their culinary skills to the test! Organised by our friends over at The Ops Nest, the day was a fantastic opportunity to get to know colleagues from across the sector that little bit better!
Armed with flour-dusted aprons and questionable piping skills, the team put in a stellar effort that would make Paul Hollywood proud - each creation deserving of that coveted Hollywood Handshake! 🤝🌴
But Emily Patel absolutely stole the show by snatching bronze with her mysterious "is it cake or is it a fab lolly?" creation!
Amazing work, Emily! We know exactly who to call for our next birthday cake orders now! 🎂 ✨
