History
Peel can trace it’s roots back to Daley Partnership, formed in 1993 by Susannah and Mollie Daley. This company combined Susannah’s theatrical and writing expertise with Mollie’s knowledge of drama and history to offer bespoke live interpretation installations to major UK visitor centres, including Bronte Parsonage, Tetley’s Brewery Wharf, Blackpool Tower, National Museum and The BBC Experience.
In addition, Daley Partnership also produced a wide range of educational theatre projects and corporate entertainment events, including work for clients such as British Telecom, First Direct and Norwich Union.
Partnership Entertainment Events Ltd (Peel) formed in 1999 as the company began to explore the opportunities for developing cruise ship entertainment. This largely traditional industry was ripe for innovation and a fresh approach and Peel followed several highly successful seasons for First Choice Cruises with groundbreaking contracts for Island Cruises, Festival Cruise Lines and Thomson Cruises.
Today Peel is the exclusive production company for the Thomson Cruises fleet of five ships, providing packed programmes of production shows, games, sports music and comedy to over 150,000 guests per year.
The most recent chapter in the company’s history is the joint founding of The Broughton Open Air Festival. in conjunction with The Broughton Hall Estate. This biennial arts event, set in the beautiful grounds and Gardens of this beautiful North Yorkshire stately home, enjoyed a highly successful inaugural festival in 2006, with a spectacular professional production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. For 2008 the plan is to build on this firm foundation, whilst maintaining the unique feel of the event, particularly with respect to the surroundings and history of this beautiful part of the Yorkshire Dales. A full client list for both Daley Partnership and Peel is given below.
