Andy – Consultant
A former Director and founder of First Event, Andy is exceptionally proud of the business he has successfully built. With over 35 years experience, he is well respected in the industry and has formed an abundance of strong supplier relationships in worldwide destinations – sometimes its not what you know but who you know and this is certainly a major benefit to our clients.

Gill – Account Manager/ PA to Directors
More than 20 years in the industry, and a founding member of First Event.

Corrina – Director Of Sales

Angie – Business House Manager
The super efficient manager of the Business House team. Angie is quick thinking, reliable and willing to go the extra mile to meet client’s corporate travel needs, and sometimes even their special personal holiday requests too! An expert with the in-house reservations systems Angie is the ever faithful source we turn to when it seems impossible to find a flight routing, accommodation availability or sort out a visa for a client travelling tomorrow.

Richard S – Business Travel Executive
Our very own oracle in the Business House team, Richard supports the theory that age is only a way of thinking but experience is priceless.

Along with Richard’s long standing client relationships, he currently manages our specialist marine travel sector.

Anita – Business Travel Executive
With over 35 years experience in business and retail travel, there are very few locations that Anita hasn’t booked a flight, accommodation or rail travel to or from. The varied nature of her role demands flexibility and a savvy know-how to get the best for client’s, often within a tight timescale.

Lucy – Business Travel Executive
The young and lively member of the team, Lucy has a keenness and strong appetite to make her mark in business travel. Having recently graduated with an industry recognised degree, Lucy has brought to the company a fresh approach that compliments and enhances our traditional Business House working methods.

Adie – Accounts Manager
The First Event's financial wizard, Adie keeps control of the company's accounts. Perhaps not the typical number crunching type, she is strong willed, outgoing and always the first on the dance floor at team evenings out!

Ruth – Senior Business Travel Executive
The newest member of the team, Ruth joined us at the beginning of May 08. Ruth has worked in the industry since 1995 during which she has gained vast knowledge working in the business, retail and corporate travel sectors along with experience in holidays afloat!
