James Bonehill Accessibility & Inclusion Manager - Greater Anglia

It has been a genuine pleasure to work with BA Events and Rennie Consulting on the design and delivery of our refresher training. Filming in a live railway environment with frontline teams is always a challenge, but the skill and patience of this team ensured that the final product is slick, professional and, most importantly, emphasises the importance of delivering fantastic service to all our customers, no matter what their personal circumstances are.

Louise Collins Director - Transport Focus

BA Events injected fresh, creative thinking to the design of these workshops which was just what we wanted. They worked closely and collaboratively with us on the planning stages to ensure everything went smoothly. We were particularly impressed by the professional facilitation of the events which put delegates at ease to get the best contribution from them. Overall, working with BA Events helped us to make these workshops a real success.

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.

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.

Lucy Wootton Head of Grand Railway Collaboration

BA Events are more than just an events company. They really managed the event seamlessy from start to end. They really get under the skin of exactly what it is we need from them and the outputs that we’re looking at for the day. And because they’d done the first event they were familiar with what we did the previous year and worked with us to ensure that we didn’t deliver the same event again. There were some differences to help keep it exciting and rngaging for those that were in attendance. And they also took the pressure off ourselves in terms of their delivery on the day. They brought a lot of energy into the room and they realy got people engaged.
