OUR FOUndERS

Aideen & Jill

Aideen Morrin and Jill Hughes are experts in the international business travel, incentives, events and high end luxury/special interest groups arena. Boasting a combined 48 years in the industry, they have travelled the world securing conference, event and incentive business for Ireland. Their local destination knowledge is unmatched. 

Delivering events for 20 to 30,000 attendees, their client roster has included a broad range of Fortune 500 companies spanning diverse industry sectors. Their portfolio of work has secured multiple highly prestigious national and international awards. Highly active at industry level, their accolades have included board and mentorship positions with SITE Ireland and ITOA (Incoming Tour Operators Association of Ireland). 

Their story began in 2005 on a Tourism Ireland sales mission in South Africa and from that time, their fate was sealed. They came together in 2010 to build and lead a highly successful DMC, a partnership that would thrive for an impressive 12 years.  

Always unified in their vision, they are uniquely different, yet highly complementary in their skill set. Their greatest strengths are their curiosity, creativity and an unshakeable work ethos. Relationship driven, they are keenly aware that in this business, you are only as good as your last event, so they make each one count. If there is one thing you should know about them... yes, they are talkers, but more importantly they are doers. 

Fiercely supportive of their team, their clients and their partners, they have a keen eye for talent, they move mountains to make things happen and they most definitely never settle. Essentially, they are the glue that holds it all together. Thriving on what they do, for them, this work is a pure joy.

One of the biggest and most important decisions to be made when coordinating a corporate event is to select a company that will best represent your interests when dealing and negotiating with the local hotels and vendors. This is our single highest profile event and this year we had our highest attendance on record.

You are master budget planners and we knew line item by line item what every decision was going to cost. In the end we had no surprises and all the hotels and off-site venues were a smashing success. You were with us every step of the way for more than a year and every minute during our program when it was finally showtime. You kept us informed of everything and anything we needed to know. By all accounts, this year's event was the best in our history. The location would not have mattered if anything had gone wrong. I am happy to report that the feedback has been extraordinarily positive. Thank you!

“a smashing success.”
