Recognition Event
The event itself was first rate. Firstly it was unique, no-one had attended a
similar event previously. It was also very interactive. The feedback from
staff was unanimous in that it had been one of the best events we had run
in Galway. One of the biggest plusses of dealing with BEM was after event
publicity we received in local press. This no doubt helped us build an
identity in Galway and will especially aid recruitment on an ongoing basis.

Recognition Event
The response has been amazing in terms of letters and phone calls of
genuine delight and praise. One letter describes experiencing the WOW
factor and I think that hit the nail on the head. The whole day and night
were amazing and can only have a positive effect on out business. I know
that even the Topform itself, our ‘team’ spirit has been boosted
considerably.

Testimonials
13. Corporate Recognition Trip and Awards Ceremony
“Our incentive program to Killarney and Dublin was so very memorable and
different and a trip that our winners still talk about. So many of them came
up to me at our national sales meeting this year to reminisce about their
experience in Ireland and how it was a trip that they will remember for the
rest of their lives. We could not have made that happen without you. From
the very beginning you helped us develop a program that was well balanced,
fun, relaxing, exciting and different. From the beautiful Hotel Europe in
Killarney to the sunning Four Seasons in Dublin, two very different worlds for
sure, it was a unique program. And when the weather threw us a curve ball
our last day in Killarney, you created our back-up plan and threw together a
wonderful whiskey tasting experience that was spot on and just what the
group needed to lift their spirits after the little downpour!
From the gifts, to the luggage pull, to the train ride, to the final night
entertainment, everything you helped us managed was amazing. And let’s
talk about that final night entertainment – what a show, simply one of the
best awards dinners we have ever had for our Summit Club program – I don’t
know how we will ever be able to top that!
So, I know that Jamie and I receive all of the accolades from our leadership
team throughout the week, but I want you to know that we would not have
been a success without you right there beside us, providing that guidance
and support and sharing your knowledge about your wonderful country. So,
a very belated and heartfelt thank you Averil, to you and your great team for
an amazing Astellas Summit Club experience in 2013!

Corporate Recognition Trip and Gala Dinner
“It was such an amazing trip with individuals still recounting various aspects
of the trip today. Of course everything was fabulous, from Killarney to
Shannon. The team building exercise at Muckross Farms and then to the
lovely tented lunch where everyone learned how to ‘clog’. From Dingle
Peninsula to the fabulous reception and tour at the Muckross Mansion. Then
of course, the Cliffs of Moher and everything else we fit in.
But nothing will ever compare to all of the work you did for the gala dinner. I
was so tired during the site inspection but you wanted me to hear a specific
group. I was sure they weren’t what I was looking for. I was so surprised to
discover that they were amazing and you negotiated a fabulous rate right
within my budget. Then we had the issue of no space at the Dromoland
Castle for the gala dinner. We went to Knappogue Castle and I was less sure
about our final chosen venue than you. You assured me once we pulled out
the huge picnic tables, added our own tables, chairs, décor and flowers I
would not be disappointed. That final evening the bus pulls up and everyone
is greeted by hosts in period costumes. A lovely cocktail reception with
passed hor d’ourves keeps everyone guessing what is happening in the ‘big’
room. Unable to see the transformation before we arrived you sneak me into
the dining room and tears fill my eyes. Never have I seen such an amazing
transformation that looks as though I have spent 10 times my budget.
Once the doors open everyone’s breath is taken away. But that is only the
beginning of the evening. After dinner the entertainment starts. The
attendees are riveted and some of them crying at the beauty of the evening.
A standing ovation from the crowd brings the evening to an end. Then I am
peppered with questions from my management regarding how we could
afford this amazing evening and this special group of amazing musicians. I
was so proud to tell them they easily fit inside our budget due to the work of
BEM Ireland.
This is only a brief overview of everything your company did for me but I
want you to know that the trip was exquisite. The attendees had such an
amazing time and everything was perfect, from the group transfers to the
guides. There isn’t anything I would have changed. Thank you so much and
please know the USANA Health Sciences heartily and proudly recommends
your company to anyone seeking a DMC in Ireland. Thanks again for the
lovely program and memories.”
