On 14th September 2024, MSCM marked a milestone a quarter of a century in the making: 25 years in business. More than 180 guests — employees past and present, alongside their friends and families — came together to celebrate everything the company has built since 1999.

Twenty-five years, marked in MSCM blue — the silver-anniversary theme ran through every detail of the day.

The celebration was held at the stunning Bisham Abbey, set in beautiful grounds on the banks of the River Thames. A marquee dressed in MSCM’s signature corporate blue welcomed everyone with a blue-carpet arrival and a champagne reception and, with clear skies and sunshine all afternoon, the riverside setting could hardly have been better.

More than anything, the day brought people together. Colleagues past and present swapped stories and memories, reflecting on how far MSCM has come from its early beginnings. Guests were treated to a barbecue feast served through the afternoon, and the relaxed outdoor setting gave everyone the chance to unwind, catch up and enjoy the occasion.

As the afternoon rolled into the evening, a live band took over and the dance floor quickly filled. From timeless classics to modern favourites, the music kept spirits high and the celebrations running well into the night.

Thoughtful touches marked the milestone throughout the venue — bespoke balloons, celebration cakes, confetti, branded napkins and keepsake favours, all chosen around the silver-anniversary theme. The illuminated “MSCM 25” letters pictured above became a favourite backdrop, drawing guests for photographs all evening.

Speaking to the room, CEO Mark Lowther thanked everyone for their part in the company’s success:

“It is fantastic to have so many of you here with us to celebrate this special occasion. Reaching 25 years in business is an achievement that every member of the MSCM team should be incredibly proud of. I would like to thank all our employees, past and present, for their commitment, hard work and dedication over the years. Their passion, professionalism and loyalty have been at the heart of everything we have achieved. As we celebrate the last 25 years, we are also looking forward with excitement to the future.”

As the sun set over Bisham Abbey, guests carried on enjoying the food, drinks and dancing. A stunning venue, glorious weather, great entertainment and even better company made for a fitting tribute to a quarter-century of success — and a celebration not only of what MSCM has achieved, but of the people who made it possible.
