CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

"HelmsBriscoe International organized a very successful meeting during the largest annual trade fair in Florence, Italy. When I think of HBI, three words come to mind: competent, helpful, fast"

adidas-Salomon AG, Germany

“Because of HB’s leverage, they get me rates that meet my budget.  Working with HelmsBriscoe saves me so much time, money, frustration and mental anguish. No request or meeting requirement is too challenging for them.  They always come through.”           

SmithKline Beecham Consumer Healthcare

"No muss, no fuss!  I don't have time to select sites, let alone conduct site inspections. Because of the large number of HelmsBriscoe associates, I have confidence that the site information is up-to-the-minute and accurate. I receive a list of available properties and make the final choice.  It's that simple! "   

Lucent Technologies

“Frankly, I couldn’t do all I do without them.  I can be as specific as I want – Charlotte, North Carolina, hotels beginning in S – and they come back with several options with room rates and meeting expenses. HelmsBriscoe’s service is a very important factor in what I do.”

HOTEL TESTIMONIALS

“HelmsBriscoe can help make your life easier when it comes to planning a meeting. I  work closely every day with their associates and without exception, they are professional, friendly and eager to find the perfect property that exceeds their clients’ needs. Marriott has recognized the quality of HelmsBriscoe and their thousands of meetings and we work together as partners.  Because of that relationship and volume, many times we are able to offer them a lower rate than we can the end user.”

Steve Conklin, Director of National Accounts, Global Sales Marriott Hotels and Resorts

 “Having worked closely with HelmsBriscoe at both Hilton and now Starwood, I find they always strive to achieve the best for their clients.  Their associates frequently go above and beyond to ensure that client needs are met.  They are a dedicated group of professionals.”

Dave Scypinski, Vice President Business Development   Starwood Hotels & Resorts

“HelmsBriscoe is made up of people who understand the hotel business.  They have proven to us that they have outstanding relationships with customers who see tremendous value in working with them.  Because of that, we see tremendous value in working with them too.”

Steve Armitage, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing Hilton Hotels Corporation

“HelmsBriscoe associates work with a limited number of clients so they stay in touch and get to know their needs intimately. We can’t cover the market in the same way.  I consider paying a placement fee the cost of doing business and it comes out of my marketing budget.  We are paying only for results.  I wish I could spend all my marketing dollars so wisely.”

Peter Babbini, Vice President Sales Development          InterContinental Hotels Group
