“FESTIVE ROAD walked us through a well-thought through planning process which has resulted in a clear, defined path forward and a best-in-class strategy. Having the independence and knowledge of the FESTIVE ROAD team added weight and clarity to the process.

“We were dealing with a highly sensitive project under demanding timescales. The evaluation of the volume of information and data, balanced with sector context was, without doubt, one of the most significant contributions that the FESTIVE ROAD team brought to this project. The combination of true consulting rigour, coupled with industry expertise is a fine art!
Christof SloninaHead of Regional Category Management, Bayer
“We knew that we had asked FESTIVE ROAD to help us with a progressive but challenging project. We selected them because of their experience and profile on the subject of NDC. They were professional, informative and friendly throughout, but most importantly of all, they helped us make the best decision for BASF we could in a very complex area.

“Festive road has been fluid, flexible and creative. their professionalism, partnership approach, support, counselling, and good humour has actually made TMC sourcing, one of the most stressful things a travel buyer does, fun!

“The investment in an outsourced travel manager was also an investment in myself. Being able to trust Sarah to own all of the day to day running activities of the travel programme allowed me to find the strategic head space to really dream big for our business and transform our travel programme. I have since received a promotion to director and have taken on a new global transportation programme.

“It is incredibly comforting to work with smart, articulate, well-seasoned industry professionals. It’s like this great mind where everyone brings their expertise to the table – especially on the buyer side. They understand where their clients are coming from; they’ve lived those same frustrations and challenges and they see what the opportunities are. You’re working with other professionals who have walked in your shoes. The knowledge and insight, creativity and diversity that festive road brings is so completely refreshing and different from the other consulting agencies.
Ann DeryDirector, Global Travel & Meetings, S&P Global
“With Arcadis being a consultancy ourselves, we naturally have high standards and expectations. We were so impressed with FESTIVE ROAD’s methodology that we applied their approach to other categories within the business.
