Temple Roberts Ltd is a unique events company, founded on many years experience in the planning and running of profitable events in the UK and all over the globe.

The company was founded in May 2008 by its two directors, Emma Ramply and Shan Wildblood. Between us we have a wealth of 22 years experience working on a vast range of high profile events targeting both the corporate and public markets in the UK and all around the world.

Emma Ramply
Emma has been involved with the event and hospitality industry for 15 years, working for the majority of this time in London running and managing the logistics and sales of some of the major events and venues held both in the UK and Europe.

One of Emma’s largest events included handling the sponsor and corporate hospitality programme for the largest outdoor concert for over 20 years; the Masters of Music concert in Hyde Park in June 1996. Acts included Eric Clapton, Alanis Morrisette, The Who and Bob Dylan and attracted crowds of over 150,000.

In 2001, at Battersea Power Station, she managed the logistics for 12,000 Cirque du Soleil hospitality guests (over a 5 week run). At the time, this was the largest ever cultural/arts event in the UK.

In 2004, Emma was asked to be the Consultant Hospitality Manager for UEFA Euro 2004 in Portugal. For 18 months in the run up and during the tournament, Emma was overseeing the package content, sales, logistics, facilities and ticketing for over 40,000 hospitality guests.

During her time at Langston Scott Ltd in London, she played a key role in securing major contracts with clients such as RBS, Deloitte, KPMG and PWC, streamlining their hospitality event booking and authorisation processes.

More recently Emma was working with TEAMORIGIN, the British America’s Cup Sailing Team, headed up by Sir Keith Mills as their Event Manager.

Shan Wildblood
Shan’s 9 year’s of success in the event industry falls predominantly under the commercial banner; selling and managing event contracts and sponsorship in the UK, the US and across the Asia Pacific.

Shan started her career in London selling & managing sponsorship across Marketing Week’s global corporate event portfolio. Her events included the US Branding Summit in New York, The Fashion & Cosmetics Marketing Show in Paris and their flagship event for worldwide marketing directors, The Marketing Week Summit in London, each attracting approximately 1,000 senior delegates.

The wealth of contacts and the quality of the relationships she built with her clients, namely marketing directors of global brands, whilst working at Marketing Week has contributed vastly to her ongoing success in selling and managing sponsorship worldwide. Shan then went on to work for the Australian Institute of International Research (IIR) in Sydney, managing their Financial Services Portfolio for Asia Pacific, where she grew the annual sponsorship revenue by 300%.

Shan also managed the sponsorship logistics team, who together organised golf days, yacht cruises, barrier reef trips, opera in the Hunter Valley and many other special events for her major sponsors which led to their unwavering loyalty year on year.

What We Do

We develop and promote new and original High Profile Events for Yorkshire (music, arts and sport).

Using our experience and influence from having working on a variety of major music, arts and sporting events in the UK and around the World, we are now exploiting Yorkshire’s potential to house a wider range of similarly high profile events.

We work with specialists in the entertainment industry to bring impressive talent to the region and to help us promote the event extensively both locally and nationwide.

Our philosophy is to create the comprehensive event experience; optimum entertainment; original décor; an ideal setting; good hospitality; commercial opportunities and an opportunity to showcase the region’s finest food, drink and local talent. The type of events we are committed to developing not only enhance what Yorkshire has to offer as a region, but also help promote Yorkshire as a desirable destination to the rest of the UK and internationally.

In achieving this we also:

Stately Homes
Temple Roberts represents a number of the most prestigious and most handsome stately homes in and around Yorkshire. We work with estates to develop a high profile and well balanced event calendar throughout the year and assist with their sales and logistics on both existing and new events.

Temple Roberts’ portfolio of idyllic venues is suited to accommodate a vast array of events. Some are perfect for large scale concerts, festivals and sporting events with the necessary access points and acreage; others provide the ideal setting for elite, intimate, prestigious events located either indoors or out. All are suitable for product launches, filming and are open to accommodate other creative media ideas.

Event Promoters
Temple Roberts’ mission is to encourage and work with valued promoters to bring more high profile events to Yorkshire and to the North, recommending stately homes as some of the finest venues the region has to offer. We will work with the Event Promoter to establish the most suitable venue for their artists or clients based on mutual requirements. We liaise between the Event Promoter and the venue in reaching the most mutually beneficial agreement, then act as a central point of contact for both parties to ensure a smooth operation from start to completion of the project.

Corporate Clients
Clients come to us to discuss their specific event needs, hospitality aspirations and marketing objectives. We then offer unbiased advice in recommending the best opportunities across our portfolio of estates and events.

We offer a vast range of high value sponsorship and hospitality opportunities, be they musical, sporting or cultural, throughout the calendar. Profiled in remarkable settings and experiencing first class entertainment, our clients couldn’t ask for a more elevated platform to promote their organisation and entertain their most valued clients.

Yorkshire Forward / Welcome to Yorkshire
Yorkshire Forward and Welcome to Yorkshire’s most current key strategy is to bring more investment to the region and promote local businesses and industries through major events (music, sport and culture).
