How we can help you
Being privately owned and run, our aim is to provide all of our clients with a personal & extremely high standard of service & expertise.
We are always pleased to meet you to discuss your requirements & happy to assist you with the planning of your conference or event.
A Free Service
Our event sourcing & venue finding service is FREE!
How… because once your event has taken place we earn a commission from the venue. We work on your behalf to identify the ideal venue & negotiate competitive rates to encourage confirmation with us! Ultimately our service greatly reduces the administration time & effort required to source & book your event & venue.
Event Management
If you require more assistance than just a venue for your event, we can help. Event management can mean as little as on-site assistance to complete co-ordination of your event from start to finish. We can assist in the UK and internationally too. We also specialise in medical conference management.
Medical Events, International Medical Conferences, Advisory Boards, Medical Secretariat…
