Agency Client – Manchester

Wednesday, March 30th, 2016

We first met Gill & Alan, at a dinner hosted by GTAssociates and some of their DMCs, in 2011. Since then Clarity have worked with them and a number of their DMCs on many briefs and confirmed events.

Alan & Gill are especially supportive when we have problems to solve in terms of finding destinations to match briefs where there are difficulties with access, budget and availability. This has often meant that they and we work with DMCs from their wider network. GTAssociates not only claim that they support agency clients from brief to delivery they actually do so and this can be invaluable to us and has helped build our relationship with them.

Their process of trialling DMCs, before agreeing to represent them, means that we can depend on GTAssociates and their DMCs to be able to deliver what we, as an agency, need.

Beyond that they have been great hosts for members of our team when team members were with them as Hosted Buyers.

Agency Client – Reading

Wednesday, March 30th, 2016

As a growing international event agency we realise the importance of partnering with DMC’s to extend our expertise across the globe.  There are a lot of DMC’s to choose from so to have a partner whose opinion and judgement we trust with regards to top quality DMC’s is essential to us and ultimately to our customers, that is why we work with GT Associates.

Alan and Gill are regularly in contact with us to introduce new and existing DMC’s when they are in the UK., the difference between GTAssociates and other similar companies is that they take the time to understand our business and the particular needs we have.  We have often met representatives from countries that we had no immediate need to work in and have then ended up working with them on an event!

All round good guys and glad to be working with them.

Agency Client – London

They have also built up a useful network of DMCs in destinations that may be of future interest, so, when we need a DMC I don’t hesitate in contacting them for assistance.  We have the utmost respect for GTAssociates in terms of professionalism, integrity and destination knowledge. They will not take on a DMC just to add to their numbers.

I have known Gill Talbot since the 90’s when I was her client and she worked in hotels, our working relationship is based on complete trust in her abilities.

Gill has built up an enviable knowledge of people in the industry, partly as she has worked across most every MICE sector but also because of who she is, her personality, and how she works. 

When I moved agencies, to Statesman Travel, Gill was a valued contact so without hesitation I introduced GTAssociates to them.

Both Gill & Alan know exactly what an agency needs in terms of service and proposal presentation/quality and ensure that they only represent DMCs who will deliver what we need.                                                                                                                                     

We recently used a DMC in Croatia because of their introduction and are now looking to use them again for Italy this year.
