Dean Johnson Programme Support Officer at Rail Delivery Group

Rail Delivery Group used BA Events’ expertise and support to successfully deliver our first purely online rail industry performance seminar in March. BA Events are a very professional company and we found them to be very pleasant to work with and efficient in delivery. They were able to provide software options and utilise their extensive experience in the use of various online collaboration systems and tools to up-skill the core team, supported the seminar presenters and provided tech support of the day for our 150+ delegates in the use of web-based technology too. BA Events also showed good project management discipline in co-coordinating the event with us, ensuring the event ran to time and cost, with the desired quality outcome.

Sam Uren Engineering Director - SLC Rail

BA Events are unique, inventive and dynamic. They provided SLC Rail with an Away Day with a difference. Staff feedback was exceptional. Thank you BA Events.

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.

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.

Charlotte Boss Director of Marketing and Communications

From the outset, their dedication to understanding our company and the purpose of our event was exceptional. They took the time to delve into our brand ethos and event goals, ensuring every aspect of the event aligned seamlessly with our vision.

Throughout the entire process, there was always a dedicated member of their team available for us to contact. Their responsiveness and attentiveness to our needs were unparalleled, providing us with a sense of support and reassurance at every step.

Moreover, the BA Events played a pivotal role in equipping us with the resources needed to effectively market the event. Their collaborative approach and focus on increasing attendee numbers significantly contributed to the success of our event.

On the day of the event, their meticulous planning and coordination ensured everything ran smoothly. From logistics to execution, their team’s expertise was evident, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the day knowing that every detail was being taken care of.

Overall, working with BA Events was an absolute pleasure, and I cannot recommend them highly enough for their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to delivering exceptional results.
