Meeting Magic experiences strong growth in 2010

20th October 2010

Despite harsh economic forecasts, Meeting Magic is experiencing a sustained increase in demand for its meeting facilitation service.

Over the past ten months, the company has taken on twelve new clients. These are all blue chip companies with the exception of a global children’s charity and a large government department.

This increase in demand is coming primarily from international organisations. They are bringing global leaders and teams together for face-to-face meetings. Common themes include planning, resourcing, investing in talent and better knowledge sharing globally.

Katherine Woods, founder of Meeting Magic explains, “during the first quarter of this year I could see a gradual build in enquiries. Companies started to behave with greater confidence, making bookings well into the year. This is in stark contrast to last year when much of our work consisted of last minute bookings. In 2009 companies were more restrained, keeping their meetings at local or European level.”

To meet this growth in demand Meeting Magic is actively recruiting. The company is continuing to invest in staff training and PR and marketing. Meeting Magic has also recently taken the leap into using cloud technology.

Katherine concludes, “as a business owner, I’m passionate about remaining at the very leading edge of my field. Innovation is a key watchword for us. The team all use tablet PCs to bring our unique graphics skills to a virtual environment. Smart use of technology is at the forefront of many of our clients businesses. One of the ways we remain aligned with our clients is to understand these technologies and to use them in our day to day work.”

Katherine Woods continues her long-standing work with Henley Business School.
