THE VISION BEHIND BOND
‘If you can’t do it for your company, you won’t be able to do it for you client’.
That has been my motto for as long as I can remember. Truth be told: a company is as strong as the person who leads it. Welcome to BOND: my home, my vision come true, and your trusted partner.
I created BOND in 2014 and have worked relentlessly with diligence and dedication since then, adapting and developing to meet the changing needs and times in the fields of event planning and destination management. A multitude of experiences, a sense for what’s to come, a desire to achieve excellence are all the result of an extensive career in large corporations working in strategic marketing, corporate communications, and event planning for the advertising, automotive, telecoms, media and entertainment industries. They are also the essential elements that contribute to BOND’s success.
At the same time, being present from start to finish and efficient enough to predict and manage setbacks, ensures that our clients’ requirements are fulfilled and the results of even the most demanding projects exceed their expectations. To achieve all this, you have to be truly passionate about your work, and flexible enough to cater your approach to individual needs. You have to love listening, sharing and inspiring; whether it’s with your team, your clients or your partners. Add trust to that and you have all the ingredients for the perfect outcome. How do we know we are doing it right? All the smiles, the loyal and returning clients, our awards and our ongoing pride in what we do.

For us at BOND, successful corporate and private events and custom travel experiences are the result of meaningful relationships and strong bonds.
