Client comment:
“We asked Andy and his team to organise an Executive trip to our Vendor’s HQ in San Francisco. All the venues and restaurants he chose were first class – perfect for the type of people we took. Our business partners felt very spoilt as Andy went out of his way to do a lot of research to think of several finishing touches that really made a lot of difference. The feedback forms highlighted how great Andy was as a personality and the service he provided. We will definitely be using IEM again for similar Executive trips.”
