What people say about us!
“Having worked with LIBRA at the Food and Drink Show NI in Ireland I have to congratulate them on their professionalism and energy. A dynamic team with enthusiasm, ideas and real motivation. Professionals who care about people but more importantly what the public need and want!”
John Torode - Masterchef
"LIBRA Events did a fantastic job of managing the CIPD NI Awards. From the start of the submission process to the end with the fabulous gala ball at Belfast City Hall, they were extremely professional and helpful. Any questions we raised throughout the process was answered speedily and efficiently. Nothing was ever too big a problem and everything was managed to an extremely high standard. Would highly recommend using them again for any small or large scale corporate events as they make everyone feel valued!"
Elaine O’Neill - Senior HR Manager, SEHSC Trust
“I have worked with LIBRA across a variety of events over the last 4 years and they have all been exceptionally well organised and professionally run. The team at LIBRA are flexible, approachable and most importantly problem solvers.”
Mark Reilly - Classified Advertising Manager, Belfast Telegraph
“I have had the pleasure of working with LIBRA 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.”
