Richard Dodgson is the owner and Creative Director of Timebased Events, a boutique London-based agency that specialises in creative event design and delivery. The name Timebased is a reflection of the company’s focus on 'time’ - the premise being that the only limitation on the events that the company can produce is time, each event has a beginning and an end.

Since its inception in 1996, the company has gone from strength to strength creating a vast catalogue of unique and innovative events for a wide variety of brands across the UK, Europe and Asia. From ground-breaking launch events, slick fashion shows and memorable pop-up experiences, to glamorous film premieres, parties, perfectly executed awards ceremonies and bespoke press days, read about the company's impressive case studies by visiting www.Timebased.co.uk.

RICHARD'S FAVOURITE SITES

Just Opened London – For me, London is the best city in the world. There is so much to enjoy and this website is an excellent place to find out the latest and best new restaurants and bars to visit.

CN Traveller - I have always enjoyed travelling, and as Timebased expands its international partner network, I am also travelling regularly for work. Condé Nast Traveller is a great guide for visiting new cities and finding the best places to stay and explore.

Sky & Telescope - The universe is fascinating and this site provides current information on star gazing and brilliant updates and insight into astronomy. The Sky At A Glance is one of my favourite features.

metcheck – At Timebased we regularly need to monitor the weather forecast ahead of events, in case we need to organise contingency plans. This site is a very useful guide both for the UK and beyond.

The Cool Hunter - This well established and eclectic blog is a great place to look for creative ideas and inspiration from all over the world. Jammed packed with innovative, original and unique discoveries.

Rio Guide - Timebased has recently established a business partnership in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This site is really useful for cultural information on Rio and insights into activities in the city.

Collins Dictionary - I have a keen interest in linguistics and this site is a great resource for languages and translations, as well as unusual or difficult words.

And my favourite app... Evernote - You can use this instant note taker on any device and I find it extremely useful for organising my day-to-day schedule of tasks and planning events – from taking briefs and planning schedules, to compiling asset registers and scripts.
