  • “A pleasure to know and work with.”

    I've know Andy Hammond for quite a few years and he is without doubt one of the most personable, sociable, loyal and friendly people one could meet. Not only does he have these quality personal traits. Andy also shows within the working environment a dedication to detail and to getting the job done in as professional a manner as possible. Totally excellent traits to have and to excel in within the work place. Andy Hammond is a pleasure to know and to work with.

  • “A very professional, organised and friendly person and a delight to deal with.”

    Having worked with Andy as a client of Sandals Resorts Event Team I have no hesitation to recommend him! He is a very professional, organised and friendly person and a delight to deal with. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Andy in the future and thank him for all his efforts and support.

  • “A joy to work with, he is efficient, charming and on the ball”

    Andy Hammond is an absolute pleasure to work with. Andy was one of the first people I met in the meetings and events industry last year as I made the move from women’s glossy mags to M&IT Magazine. He was not only charming and professional but introduced me to many other contacts who are now friends too. Andy is a joy to work with, he is efficient, charming and on the ball and I know his new venture will be an absolute success.

  • “He's incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and always willing to go the extra mile.”

    Andy and I first met on a fam trip to the US. Although it was the latest in a long line of trips Stateside for yours truly, it was Andy's first time crossing the pond. It was wonderful to see the trip through Andy's eyes: his enthusiasm, his inquisitiveness and his desire to embrace all the destination has to offer. Now that our chance acquaintance has become a valued friendship, I've come to see that this is how Andy approaches all his professional activities. He's incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, enthusiastic and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that he's doing the best for his clients. I'm very fortunate to have him as a trusted colleague and a treasured friend.
