What people say about us!
'I have had the pleasure of working with Judith and Ross at a number of events in the past and I know when they are in charge everything will run smoothly. They are unflappable and manage to sort out any glitches or problems even before they have happened. They are very professional and a joy to work with.'
Pamela Ballantine, Television Presenter and Host
'Your management onsite during the event was great and you had no problem troubleshooting on any problems which arose (as they always do). You had calmness under pressure, had a professional and polite attitude with delegates and went “the extra mile” to be helpful to them. Thanks for all again'
Rory McShane, Past President, Law Society of Northern Ireland
'I have worked with Ross across a variety of events over the last 4 years and they have all been exceptionally well organised and professionally run. Ross is flexible, approachable and most importantly a problem solver.'
Mark Reilly, Classified Advertising Manager, Belfast Telegraph
