KEY REASONS WHY ORGANISATION SHOULD BE USING US PLANNING AN EVENT
When an organisation plans an event, quite often the spending is from its profits, and on top of this, the HMRC will charge the company a benefit in kind tax. Ouch. What makes us unique is that we can convert the same event into a tax-qualifying product. This means that the cost of the event can be deducted from an organsations Corporation Tax. 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Making the right impressions starts from the point strangers meet. For our clients, this is often the point of departure. It’s the ‘DEPARTURE AIRPORT LOUNGE’ where all travelers unite. On a journey lasting over two hours, it makes sense to allow bonding to start earlier. It lets group members become friends on the plane, not at the ‘ARRIVAL POINT’ when you see the Meet & Greet boards.

BUSINESS TRAVEL ACCOUNTS
We offer organisations an option for a personal account manager. We assign a dedicated, experienced manager to handle all your travel needs. This includes ticketing, accommodation, and organizing one-to-one meetings. We also advise on private dining reservations and much more. The service offered is more than having a private PA. It is a level of service reflected in my experience hosting many events overseas. If you see this service being of benefit, call our office for more details.

CORPORATE BENEFITS OF GROUP BONDING ACTIVITIES
We aim to aid organisations in delivering on their strategic internal targets. We offer various positive incentives across departmental boundaries. This leads to multi-functional teams bonding and communicating better. The purpose is to help organisations improve their bottom-line profits.

Previous Events

1.
Event Benefits Via Tax Efficiency

Our client is a CEO of a small company with ten employees. He always spent his own money on an annual group travel incentive. The trips encouraged staff bonding and helped to keep his annual profit margin. 

The result: We recommended that the client switch from spending his own money. He should use corporate funds. Switching to corporate funds allowed his travel incentives to become a business expense. So, they now qualify for a tax deduction. What’s better than a business owner paying less in corporation tax? They can keep their personal income for other purposes.

2.

A PR company in Philadelphia approached us. They asked us to organise daily packages. The packages must be all-inclusive. They are for 30 of the world’s top cardiologists. This included private dining experiences to hiring private boxes at sporting fixtures.

“The difference is in the results”

THE RESULT was the most memorable time experienced by all 30 delegates. We profiled the delegates. It helped us offer the PR company a designed group package. We based it on what would excite them.

 

3.

Celebrating Success

The client gave us a shopping list. It has the key elements for their upcoming celebration. 

We arranged the theming. It fits the client’s lavish message. The caterers offered a pre-selection of appetizers. The guests would sit down to a silver service. We also had an MC, sound, and AV ready. The entertainment was set, and we provided a guest valet service. All drinks and meals were pre-selected due to dietary reasons. 

4.

Breaking the ice

The Need: A law firm wanted to create a client showcase at their offices. Existing clients would be invited. The client’s aims were for their partners to network and talk with their clients.

THE RESULT
…was attractions that included cheese and wine tasting. They also had a large Scalextric game. The client saw the event as a good way of breaking barriers and obtaining new business.

5.

Call Centre – Time is Money

A call center approached us for help. They wanted to reduce the level of cigarette breaks employees were taking. They would do this by introducing a healthier option that would keep the staff at their desks longer.

“We always welcome an opportunity to assist any HR office”

THE RESULT
We introduced 3 step motivation tool. The first way was to have different masseurs approach the staff while they worked. They would ask if they would like a neck and hand massage to help them de-stress. The second was offering them a selection of fruits. It had apples, pears, and grapes. They could nibble them at their desk. The third was someone going around early afternoon. They had coffee and mints served to them at their desks. The clients felt the operation was a complete success. It reduced staff numbers leaving the building for smoke breaks.

6.

Private Small Group Away Day

THE REQUIREMENT We were asked by an office manager to offer a memorable day away group experience for five amazing employees. The goal was based on fun and communication within the group. It also had to leave a lasting impression.

THE RESULT
We let the five staff within a group think they were attending a corporate event. The event was being celebrated at a restaurant in Paris, except for the manager. The airline check-in desk asked everyone to meet early. Everyone was told not to pack too much luggage. They may return the same day. So we purchased cheap one-way low-cost flight tickets for the group. The focus was on pushing quality and value. This left many wondering if they would be going home by coach. Their return was pre-planned using a hired private jet. Imagine the impact that had, which still is a talking point to this day…

7.

Staff away day package

THE REQUIREMENT The corporate client wanted us to source a catering school and organise a coaching facility for the event. The client was UK-based and required us to handle the logistics behind the whole event. 

THE RESULT We arranged a coach to pick up a group of 30 staff from their office and took them to the pre-designated catering school. The staff was then divided into their groups by coloured neck scarfs that had been provided. The group selection was pre-organised by the client. Team A was responsible for preparing the starters, Team B for the Main course, and Team C for the dessert.  Having chosen an Italian menu, you can probably guess what was created. The beauty was that the group was then treated to a shared creation. Later, we found out that the event was designed as a leaving gift for one of the senior member’s staff.

We were required to organise a team-building event at the Palace Hotel in New York for over 300 McKinsey & Co staff. The event was aimed at establishing the benefits of working together.

We were asked to design with an overseas conference. We put forward several suggestions of which they chose one. A site inspection was organised where suppliers were introduced.
