We look at the problems you face when organising large groups and overcome some of the challenges you face when organising a group activity, be it corporate or stag and hen. For instance we don't benefit from the on line payment system and actually pay a little more for it. We think though that this is a service which you will find valuable and useful. You of course have your own website available which is a fully comprehensive itinerary and has links to useful things such as transport to and from the town or city. Minibus services should you need transfers, and of course pub and club guides.
Another valuable service is that you don't get stung when group numbers drop. If you are having to put down a per person deposit who is paying that? Yes it's generally you, and after you have chosen a company to organise your group who loses out when people mess around? Yes it is you. We value your custom and value the fact that you don't want to lose money for picking us to organise your group. So we don't charge for number changes as long as they come four weeks prior to the event. We were the first company to introduce this and there are other companies that will do this now, but not all so check.
So in a nutshell, we provide a personalised service, you will have one point of contact within Eclipse when you book and we will help you arrange the rest of your group whatever the size and whatever the occasion. We are looking into services that you can use like on line invitations, group discounts for travel and of course better and better customer service.
We have many blue chip clients and many smaller customers all of whom are valuable, here are the ones you may have heard of Microsoft, AMEX, ABN Amro, Sky, BBC, Lloyds TSB, Vodafone, ANC corp, Dunn and Bradstreet, IBM, KPMG, PWC, phones 4 u, Equifax, blue diamond group, Pfizer, Shell, GlaxoSmithkline, Barclays to name but a few.
