EXPERIENCES

Welcome to BEM Ireland

We excel in the design and implementation of professional corporate meetings, creative recognition programmes, dynamic events, and the seamless

staging of Conferences and Exhibitions.

With 20 years experience, BEM Ireland offer extensive industry expertise and a dedicated team, specialising in the design and implementation of

corporate events, from supplier negotiation, logistical coordination, event production, theming and concept design.

We believe there is no better business referral than one given by a satisfied customer. We are committed to finding out exactly what our customers’ needs

are and delivering solutions that not only meet but also exceed expectations. We are a customer service driven company. We do not offer a standard

formula for each event or project. We consider the aims of your organisation, your objectives and those of your staff and customers. We then tailor a

programme to specifically meet those needs. By consistently sourcing the best product and service providers, and by working closely with all concerned,

we can ensure no detail, no matter how minor, is overlooked. This business philosophy has been the key to our success at BEM Ireland. It is the reason our

clients are happy to give us repeat business and refer our company to colleagues.

We recently held two product launches and contracted BEM Ireland to help

us manage both events. BEM organised our entire off site conferencing and

event requirements in addition to the normal destination management

services necessary to make the event a positive experience for our

travelling customers. Both events were a great success with an

overwhelmingly positive response from our guests.

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.

- Insurance Company Galway

Recognition Awards Ceremony Thanks to your support, your preparation and your professionalism.

Feedback from many of the attendees has confirmed that the evening was

glitzy, classy and thoroughly enjoyable.

- National Bank

***

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.

Official Opening Event We would like to thank you for all your assistance with the official opening.

The event was a great success. The whole itinerary from the arrival of An

Toiseach by helicopter, through the speeches, presentations, press etc was

managed professionally and in a very relaxed manner. We received very

positive feedback and were also pleased with the post event publicity.

- Construction Company, Ireland

Launch Event The event was a resounding success, not only as evidenced by coverage on

the RTE news and in the national newspapers, but also that everything went

smoothly and according to plan on the day.

Testimonials

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.”
