Elaine Smith, CEO, In Any Event UK

"I worried, as a business owner, that we may have gaps with compliance and legislation matters but did not know what they might be, nor where to look to find them. Alison has provided us with that knowledge and related it directly to our events business and to our employees and their jobs. This information was priceless and I urge anyone in events to make sure they are fully up to date with compliance. We received so much practical advice from her, which we have subsequently put into action. The process was informative and painless. It has provided us with protection for the business (and our clients). We have better-informed employees who recognise their responsibility and proudly advertise their improved skills. And I no longer worry about not knowing what I don't know! I cannot recommend Alison highly enough."

"It takes time and effort to stay in step with legislation and these can be difficult to find when running a small business. Alison used her knowledge and experience of running big events to review our golf tournament and fill in the legal and compliance gaps. Her process and policy recommendations were relevant, precise and simple to implement by Sandra Greenslade, our Tournament Director, so an excellent service delivered perfectly".

"The Event Audit exercise exceeded expectations and has already changed perceptions and methodology. The process enabled the team to understand that we were applying yesterday’s concepts to today’s realities in some areas. The exercise was thought provoking, productive, facilitated cost savings and surprisingly enjoyable. The whole team have embraced the recommendations and are now applying on a daily basis."

Donna Trapnell, Director - Corporate Client Services, AXA

“I brought Alison into my organisation to effectively audit and stress test our approaches to risk management in the field of corporate event/hospitality. We wanted to to ensure compliance to various regulations and ensure any required changes were trained and embedded into teams and processes they use. Alison has a deep operational knowledge of this field and immediately added a huge amount of value. The output was fantastic and quickly adopted by the business; I am much more confident and comfortable in an area of business that is high risk and litigious.”
