It’s been a busy January 2012 for the BBS team. We have just finished a large mystery shopping project where we had to contact over 100 different conference venues all over the UK ranging from academic venues to hotels. We have also just started a data cleanse project for Newcastle Gateshead Conference Bureau which involves [...]

Hi, I’m Ocean Harmony Star. Yes, a very unusual name I know!  I have worked full time at BBS since October 2011. My current role at BBS is Admin Apprentice.  In the short period of time I have been here, I have been involved in two events: NAPF and European Microwave Week 2011. Both of these [...]

Ok, so we are a couple of weeks into the New Year, however over the weekend I celebrated Ukrainian New Year. Yes, that’s right; we Ukrainians have 2 Christmases and 2 New Years so technically we are just a few days into 2012…just to complicate things! BBS had a great year in 2011. We went [...]

At BBS we know that September brings the start of our conference and events season and this year it’s fair to say that so far it’s been full on.  We kicked off with full event management of a familiarisation tour of Telford & Shropshire for over 100 event buyers and partners – organising an event [...]

BBS have just completed their 7th Year of working with the National Association of Pension Funds.    BBS provided staff personnel to help NAPF run their Annual Conference which is a 3 day event with over 1, 200 delegates attending.

So, we got a call one afternoon from EuMW asking if we could provide staff at their 6 day International Event at Manchester Central. Of course it was a yes, but when Ruth told us what it was for, we just didn’t know what to expect. The obvious came into our minds…microwaves?!? Anyway, after some [...]

BBS have just completed their first, but hopefully not their last project for their lovely neighbours Orbis Solicitors. BBS supplied stand personnel for the North Manchester Bike Show at Ramsbottom Cricket Club on Sunday 25th September 2011.  Orbis Solicitors were the main sponsors of the event and we were only too happy to help the [...]

So last weekend for us here at BBS flew by. Some of us went to Telford for a few days to manage Telford and Shropshire Conferences’ launch event – Discover 2011! We went over to Telford on Thursday morning and spent the day prepping for the weekend ahead. We were all staying at the Holiday [...]

For the past week and a half, I have been preparing a power point presentation to pitch to a potential new client…well Ruth, the MD to pitch to a potential new client. Having never done this sort of thing before, I panicked just at the thought of it. After sitting down with Ruth for a [...]

Just thought I would share some good news with you all! I have recently been awarded a certificate Level 4 in Professional and Personal Development. One very happy lady here! From September 2010 to March 2011, I have been doing a part time study course at the University of Lancaster in Professional and Personal Development. [...]
