We strive in pursuit of excellence! Some of our clients have been kind enough to provide a testimonial below:
“Jay and the EF-Travel team did an outstanding job making a successful of Synamedia’s first global sales meeting. We educated and motivated over 140 people and achieved an excellent 4.57 (out of 5) attendee rating score, which is the highest I’ve seen for a sales meeting – including previous ones at Cisco. Jay found us an excellent venue and helped us organise both the formal plenary and breakout sessions as well as three nights of themed awards and team building events.”
- Mike McKeown Senior Director, Operations, Synamedia“Before I started using EF Travel, trade shows were one of the most stressful times in my calendar, with multiple people all going at different times and then all the subsequent changes to juggle….now it is one of the easiest times! Jay takes all the requirements from me at the start of the process and manages everything from that point forwards. He is professional, proactive, accommodating and efficient. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he always responds quickly and calmly, and usually with humour, which is fabulous in the high pressure environment we work in. I would recommend EF Travel to anyone trying to manage logistics on top of a challenging business environment – they will take the pain away and just leave you with happy event participants – what is not to love!”
- Sarah Cole, Executive Assistant, V-Nova“Having received great service from EF Travel at a networking event held in September 2018, we decide to employ the services of EF Travel again to organise our first EMEA channel partner event as our newly formed company, MediaKind. We had great dialogue with Jay Hollisey in the location choice and he accepted relevant inputs from our team to come up with a fantastic event held in Prague during March 2019.
Will be working with EF Travel again soon, recommend them as a great partner.”
“We have been working with EF Travel for a few years now and this is due to the excellent service we always receive. The team manage our events efficiently and are proactive in keeping in touch throughout the booking process, making our job easier. We’ve built a good relationship due to the friendly, relaxed personalities at EF and this suits us perfectly.”
- Mishi Watts, Marketting And Events Coordinator, SIS Live“As a leading supplier of exhibitions to UK companies attending overseas events we have a very busy schedule. Before we met EF we would spend hours painstakingly sourcing hotel rooms only to stumped by availability or hotel location. Now we simply give EF our requirements and leave them to do the legwork. They can access fantastic hotels, deals and rates we struggle to obtain directly and often with last minute changes. Our exhibitors also appreciate the professional manner they take care of them allowing them to focus entirely on their forthcoming show.”
- Andrew Wheatley, Exhibition Manager, Tradefair“SGL have worked with EF Travel for a number of years. Having used some other ‘specialist’ travel companies in the past, the difference with EF Travel has been huge. The company’s high standards with the services they provide, along with their knowledge of the locations, shows and the industry is second to none. When deciding on hotels, looking to freight valuable show equipment, making last minute changes or even get recommendations for great restaurants, we know that the EF team are there to provide help, with a professionalism, friendliness and speed. The financial aspects are clearly laid out with no hidden or unexpected costs occurring, making the process very straightforward for our team. During the shows we attend, the EF Team make themselves available to us and are always on hand as the show closes, so there is never any confusion about what is needed or what the processes are. For these reasons, we would have no qualms with using EF Travel or recommending them to others – you really cannot get a better service anywhere else.”
- Nicola Wright, Marketing Manager, SGL“I have worked with EF Travel to organise our staff accommodation at exhibitions for many years and have always found their service outstanding. Screen often send staff over to exhibitions en masse and booking through EF means we can book early and still be flexible with our plans which takes the stress and complications out of this task. Jay and Sarah are both extremely professional and always go the extra mile to ensure our accommodation needs are met; when last minute bookings have been needed they have always found appropriate accommodation within budget which is no easy task in a city with a major exhibition in progress. I would have no hesitation in recommending EF Travel!”
- Kristy Walker, Events & Exhibition Manager, Screen Systems“Before we started working with EF Travel, employees were spending untold amounts of time surfing for hotels, flights and travel logistics. There were occasions when travel plans went awry after arriving on-site and it caused unwanted problems in terms of additional money and time to rectify, not to mention staff de-motivation at a time when they needed to be ready to meet customers at the shows. Now we simply provide the dates/times of travel and any preferences, the rest is history! We have been working with EF for over 5 years now with no problems to date, they even have representation on-site at the larger trade shows to assist their clients. I would certainly recommend EF Travel for a reliable, flexible, reasonably priced and friendly service.”
