NYS, the meetings and events arm of Capita Travel, has reported an increase in new business by almost 35%,
The growth recorded is a record for the business, which has seen a further record number of commercial wins in the last year.
Capita Plc purchased NYS in May 2017 to form part of Capita Travel and Events. The acquisition opened up access to a larger base of blue-chip clients. NYS has secured two new wins, one from a major global pharmaceutical company and another from a car manufacturer after a competitive tender.
NYS has retained almost every customer contract, which includes Siemens Plc, who they have worked with for the last 15 years.
The increase in business has seen the team grow by 23% to 32 event professionals based around the UK, with additional positions yet to fulfil.
“Now we have brought our expertise together and formed ‘one team’, the personalised service has really resonated with our customers. The fact that we now have the backing of large Plc gives them the added security and confidence in our capabilities,” Caroline Medcalf, director of events at NYS, commented.
“We have cross-trained our team, which has the dual benefit of enabling our people to work across a variety of different market sectors, but also means our clients benefit from working with expert event partners who can recommend or suggest different ways of doing things. On top of this, we have strengthened our Creative department, and are working in partnership with our clients to further develop their brand and external messaging for their events.”
