Legacy Through Learning: A Theme That Resonated
With Legacy Through Learning as the guiding theme, the event captured the spirit of the day. Families, industry leaders, and guests filled the room with energy and optimism. To bring this concept to life, Big Sound Marketing collaborated with DAF Trucks UK, embedding the theme across every element, from visual branding to guest engagement.
