    Dear Tony. I would like to take this opportunity to thank your company for the great service you have provided Whirl productions. Through our listing in your guide I have gained many clients from throughout New Zealand and Two Australian clients. As the new owner of an existing company I was debating as to where to use my advertising budget, your company has exceeded my expectations on the accounts that we have gained for the investment in your publication. I look forward to the new publication, and the continuing growth your publication has helped us gain.

  • Jenny Hemmings - Human Rhythms
    Hi Tony, Human Rhythms have been running listings on the CEG and teambuilding.co.nz websites for a few months now and we are really happy with how it's going. We are currently listed in 5 regions - can you let me know what the cost would be to increase that to cover all North Island regions? We would like to increase our profile on the websites overall and would be keen to hear about any ideas you have that would achieve that.
  • " Delvene Morrissey - General Manager - Mikano Restaurant & Bar We're happy to go along with the Corporate events guide again - as it was such a success for us last year. So sign us up again for the listing as we've had before.

    The good news is many of the corporates I have spoke to and tried to give a guide too already had one! Please send about 10 more though and as agreed I will again make an effort to push and distribute for you.

  • Suzanne Carson - Conference & Events Professional.
    When you first approached me about advertising in the Corporate Events Guide I was so impressed with your sales support and your keen interest in the developments of my business.
    Although this was the first South Island guide I knew it was going to be a credible publication if it was going to resemble the North Island editions. To my delighted I found the publication totally professional, portraying our involvement in the events industry with flair and distinction. Congratulations on a wonderful production and thank you for the great advice and direction that you gave on layout and design.
