End to end management | Donaldson Davis

“Why should we invest in an external service when we already have a marketing or events team?”

END TO END MANAGEMENT

From inception to completion, a successful event is always an investment of time, money & expertise. When clients enrol our services, they are benefitting from 40 years of experience by hiring a team of specialists which can ultimately save money through expert contract negotiation, efficient pre-event logistical planning and utilising our buying power with a global network of suppliers and partners. Our approach is pragmatic yet dynamic and we are able to consistently demonstrate our value in tangible ways according to the nature of the event.

Many of our clients consider us as an extension of their own teams and we’ve found that by really taking the time to get to know their business, we can deliver a service that ultimately enhances the event experience for the audience. Whether our services are required for the whole event cycle, or just for specific elements; it’s a cost effective way for clients to have a team of experts at their fingertips.

They have run events that ranged from intimate groups of 10 people to large groups of 200 people and more. Donaldson Davis have organised events across Europe and North America for our corporate board members, clients, sales leaders and other key stakeholders. They have a robust team of likeminded people who value team work and take pride in what they do. I have always found them to have strong commitment for quality. They are flexible in their approach and calm in the face of changing requirements. They are always available for advice and support at every level, from sourcing, booking, approvals and payment to reporting. They always deliver the control and savings we look looking for. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty on many occasions when dealing with unforeseen situations and ensured our guests felt welcomed at all times. They have found some amazing properties for our events. They also come up with great recommendations for unique experiences which make the events that bit more special."
