CMAC Group’s company-wide ‘one team meetings’ are an important part of our internal communications strategy, ensuring that everyone is aligned on our goals and the plans for getting there. Our mission is to make sure that employees feel appreciated, listened to and part of one team. This year we‘ve partnered with BA Events ensure our remote workers and those located across Europe have the same awesome experience as employees attending in person.

Sam Uren Engineering Director - SLC Rail

We’ve worked with BA Events for many years and we’re always impressed with Luke’s creativity, enthusiasm and drive. 2020 was a difficult year where we had to adapt our organisation quickly to remote working and introduce new digital tools and technologies. What has made this easier for us was working with a company like BA Events, who consistently came up with ideas to increase employee engagement and has made it possible for us to run our events schedule online. Luke has enabled us to keep the SLC culture alive and stay connected with each other.

BA Events are unique, inventive and dynamic. They provided SLC Rail with an Away Day with a difference. Staff feedback was exceptional. Thank you BA Events.

Fay Easton and Vicky Cropper-Clarke Head's of Stakeholder and Community

Working with BA Events brings extra people to your Team. We always love our time in planning meetings with Luke as he takes the time to understand what we want our audience to take from the experience. Both Ben and Luke understand how much we value time spent with our Stakeholders & Communities and they share our visions, bringing endless inspiration creativity and can-do spirit to the planning and delivery. Virtual events have been a revelation this year and attendees have loved the content which has been enhanced by advance video footage and superb event hosting on the day. Event attendees know they are truly valued because of the care invested in the delivery of these events and we are endlessly grateful to these young entrepreneurs for the passion they invest in their craft.

Joanna Buckley Community Manager

I reached out to BA as I initially required AV support for a stakeholder conference but after meeting Luke and his team, I felt complete confidence to hand the management of the event over to the team. They took care of everything from venue sourcing to sending out the invites, managing RSVPs, being on hand on the day to support with the meet and greets, hosting, and so much more! Working with BA was a pleasure, I felt I was working with close colleagues, not representatives from an external company. The pace of organising the event was fast paced yet felt relaxed. The service I received from all the team working on my event was outstanding and I would 100% recommend their service to others who are looking for a company that will deliver results for you.
