Introducing Goldcrest Events

We’re doing a regular feature on business partners we work with in Windsor and Maidenhead. Goldcrest Events are our venue-finding partner. Abigail Ross, Founder and Director of Goldcrest, sources venues in the borough, bringing her considerable industry experience to find the perfect location for your next conference, business meeting or corporate dinner. Get in touch with Abi if you would like to find out more about what London’s Country Estate can offer.

Name: Abigail Ross

Company: Goldcrest Events

What does your job involve:
As Founder and Director of Goldcrest Events, my business involves helping corporate companies, associations and charities alike organise, manage and deliver a successful event. We work throughout the UK, Europe and international countries. This includes venue finding, event management and also working very closely with our dedicated team building and event theming companies – Goldcrest Events can offer you the ‘whole package’. As well as being an expert venue finder within the industry, we are also in partnership with the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead showcasing the boroughs many truly stunning venues and hotels to corporate companies, Goldcrest Events clients and potential clients based in London. The Borough is ideal location for those small to large events outside London.

How long have you been in the industry:
I have been in the industry 20 years, with eight years working as Director of Sales for an independent hotel and also large hotel groups both in Thames Valley and within the UK. I have been the Director of a Venue Finding company before successfully launching my own business, Goldcrest Events. I have built up a wealth of trusted contacts and relationships within the hospitality industry.

Career highs:
Awarded Centre of Excellence for Sales achievement of a large hotel group within the UK

Winning tender for partnering with RBWM. Launching and founding my own Venue and Events Management Agency – Goldcrest Events.

What do you love most about your role and the industry?
Anyone who knows me know that I love my job! I am a people’s person through and through – I enjoy finding out about my clients and potential clients’ backgrounds, what their companies do and how they want their companies grow. I enjoy that growth with them and help deliver value for businesses when organising their events. It gives me immense satisfaction seeing my valued clients achieve their goals following our joint successful events run through Goldcrest Events.

We at Goldcrest Events believe it is a 3-way partnership between our clients, venues and Goldcrest Events for all involved to achieve their goals.

Goldcrest Events work hard to establish and maintain our long standing trust with our clients and future clients alike and keep our reputation within the hospitality industry strong. We pride ourselves with our reliability, loyalty and commitment to our clients and suppliers alike.

The Events industry has oodles of passion, energy and happy people, where we build so many friends, and believe me that comes in handy when negotiating for your clients. The saying ‘It’s not what you know, it’s who you know!’ is so true of the industry.

This professional and fun side of the job and industry can be seen when going to industry events and also can be experienced by attending Goldcrest Events familiarisation trips held in and around the Windsor area, we have immense fun promoting hotels.

What is your dream weekend away?
There’s nothing better than sitting in our garden or by the pool in the Algarve over a weekend with a glass of wine or cocktail, with my laptop open still handling and dealing with my client’s requests. We are open for business seven days a week – I will own up to clients when I am by the pool!

What exciting business plans are in the pipeline for the next 12 months?
Oh 2019 is full on and exciting for Goldcrest Events for sure! We are growing month by month and it is extremely exciting for Goldcrest Events along with the partnership with the borough with lots of client events during the year. Our first event takes place on 15-16 March 2019, where we’ll be hosting event bookers on a trip to Windsor to showcase local hotels, activities and dining.

We are growing our ‘flying squad’ in Goldcrest – we’re bringing on two new members of our team. Charlotte Buggy is our expert Venue Finder and Account Manager and Laura White is our Social Media exposure guru. We’ve launched a new venue finding platform which gives us access to thousands of venues worldwide. Watch this space for Goldcrest Events – we are ‘flying to the height of excellence’ – please join in our journey! We’d love to hear from you – contact abi@goldcrestevents.co.uk
