Testimonials

I've known Abi Ross for many years, from her Director of Sales roles in local hotels to her current partnership. In all that time Abi's energy and enthusiasm for the MICE industry has never waned and she continues to provide a five-star level of service to all her clients and venue partners. Two years ago Abi became the preferred venue finding contact for the Visitor Management and Marketing team at the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead. Our internal resources are such that we needed additional help to drive MICE business into the borough. Abi's knowledge of, and great relationship, with the local area and its venues, her understanding of how the industry operates from both the venue and client side and her deep rooted desire to make sure every meeting or event she manages is perfect in every way meant she was the perfect choice to work alongside my team. It's a partnership that's working brilliantly and will hopefully continue for some time to come.

In the first instance of working with Abi spoke to the chosen venue on our behalf, negotiating costs which ultimately matched those from the previous year (after the venue initially suggested a price increase). Prior to the event itself, Abi was always available to discuss details, to ensure everything was prepared to our standards. Meeting us on numerous occasions, at various locations throughout the UK to discuss our requirements. All our questions and queries were responded to in a timely manner, retrieving the information from the venue on our behalf. A good knowledge of the event business was displayed throughout, helping guide us through the event planning process. Abi was present during the event itself, thus meaning she could deal with the venue on our behalf, to ensure the event ran smoothly and to our satisfaction.

For our second event Abi has used our requirements to research a number of venues and provided us with a detailed price comparison, allowing us to discuss which option is our preferred. We are currently in the planning process of the second event with Abi, and so far they have once again been available and efficient with retrieving information from the venue and assisting us in planning the event.

We connected with Abi through her work as director of sales at Sopwell House, where we have held some great events. Abi's team has taken all the hassle - and crucially, the expense! - out of venue finding, detailed planning and negotiating with our venues. Abi has utilised her expertise and contacts on our behalf to not only bring down the cost but also to reduce the risk and stress inherent in running large events.

She has also made my work easy, providing figures and costings to display to my Chief Executive just how much we have saved through her input. We are looking forward to many more events with Abi on board, as a key supplier to our small team.

Abi has alwasy hit our venue brief perfectly, considering our target audience and coming up with some great venue options, whilst bearing in mind our event sizes and locations. 

Due to Abigail's great connections and working relationship with venues, we were able to cost save and increase the number of venues to budget due to the amazing reduction they provided.
Overall, Abi is friendly, professional and most importantly helped us reduce our venue costs, to deliver regular regional meetings. A pleasure to work with.
