WHEELING, IL: Image Apparel Solutions (IAS), a company that is widely known as one of the top athletic apparel decorators in the country, is proud to announce it has acquired Tailored Events, a Northbrook-based event management company for corporations and charity organizations.


Tailored Events has an extensive roster of well-known clients and oversees a variety of events for them, including golf outings, galas, grand openings, corporate conferences, and other large scale events from inception through the day of the event. Francie Portrey, the owner of Tailored Events, founded the company in 2013 and took great pride in having a first-class team that oversees every detail to ensure their clients’ important events run seamlessly.


“I am pleased to announce that Image Apparel Solutions has acquired Tailored Events, one of the leading event management companies in the Midwest,” noted Tim Kelliher, President of Image Apparel Solutions. “This is a great way for Tailored Events to expand the breadth of products IAS can now offer to their existing customers, providing them with much deeper options.”


IAS is well known for their extremely skilled team of people, providing an exceptional level of customer service that is unparalleled within the industry.


“I am so excited to be working together and offering each of our client base new opportunities to enhance their business,” says Portrey.


About Tailored Events


Francie started Tailored Events after many years working at The Merchandise Mart, Chicago Bears Football Club, CBS Radio, and Anything’s Possible Events. Of all her positions, she realized that her love of events were the most memorable aspects of each of her previous jobs. In 2013, she decided to go on her own and created Tailored Events. Their clients include MillerCoors, United Airlines, Jesse White Foundation, Tony’s Fresh Market, Caputo’s Fresh Market, Noyes, and other companies and organizations of varying sizes.


The new acquisition and partnership will significantly enhance the services Tailored Events can offer its customers. Francie Portrey will serve as a Regional Manager of IAS and continue to oversee the day to day operations for the events segment of the business. Likewise, it will also supplement the services IAS can offer their clients in terms of new events, where there was not an opportunity to do so before.


“Francie and Tailored Events have a great portfolio of existing clients which they have worked with for years, and now there’s so much more to offer their clients than simply the event,” said Kelliher. “Now, it’s much more of a one-stop solution, and we can offer IAS clients event management services.”
