Charlotte Boss Director of Marketing and Communications

From the outset, their dedication to understanding our company and the purpose of our event was exceptional. They took the time to delve into our brand ethos and event goals, ensuring every aspect of the event aligned seamlessly with our vision.

Throughout the entire process, there was always a dedicated member of their team available for us to contact. Their responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs were unparalleled, providing us with a sense of support and reassurance at every step.

Moreover, the BA Events played a pivotal role in equipping us with the resources needed to effectively market the event. Their collaborative approach and focus on increasing attendee numbers significantly contributed to the success of our event.

On the day of the event, their meticulous planning and coordination ensured everything ran smoothly. From logistics to execution, their team’s expertise was evident, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the day knowing that every detail was being taken care of.

Overall, working with BA Events was an absolute pleasure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to delivering exceptional results.

Rachel Evans Stakeholder Engagement Manager (Interim) - West Midlands Rail Executive

We commissioned BA Events because from the outset they got fully immersed into understanding what the GRC wanted to achieve from this event. They demonstrated professionalism and commitment at every stage to maximise benefits and outcomes for both the GRC and event stakeholders. BA Events were pivotal to making the event a very successful GRC launch and the proof was in the electric and positive atmosphere on the day. The after event care by BA Events was also brilliant.

Charlotte Todd Director of Marketing and Communications

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.

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.

Tracy Stevenson Community Development Assistant - ScotRail

Needing to move our event online this year posed a challenge for us, thankfully a colleague introduced us to BA Events. From that first introduction, we were comfortable that Luke and Ben understood our vision for the event and the sentiment we wished to convey to our volunteers and partners. There are extremely knowledgeable about the use of online platforms, taking time with us to explain the process and the benefits of different aspects of the system made the decision process much easier. Their passion and enthusiasm towards helping us to host this event is the reason the event was a huge success.
