Every agency member of Eventia can do the job of delivering logistically excellent events - after all, that is why they are members of our association. The difference comes in our individual approach to business and our respective clients. We could all talk in clichés about "exceeding expectations" and "delivering on promises", but at Universal we like to add a little more substance to what we do.
For Universal this all starts with our own staff. We know that unless our team is happy, motivated and well trained, they will never be able to give our clients the understanding, service and experience they deserve.
Add to that an ethical approach to business, a flexible attitude, ability to work with our client's preferred costing model, a major investment in ROI measurement and our total commitment to understanding our clients and their delegates' needs. It is only then can we even start to think about building the relationships necessary to operate our business.
And the result of this approach? Over 300 events operated a year, exceptional staff retention figures, full ISO 9001:2000 accreditation, record levels of repeat business and now being listed as the most successful 100% privately owned agency in the UK (results 2006 CIT Agency survey).
