EBC - Events Business Club |
The Events Business Club (EBC) is a concept that has been developed around major events such as the Olympic Games. Our strong international networking enables us to represent client companies who provide specialist products and/or services in parts of the world that they do not currently have a base.
Without the need for our clients to visit extensively or having to set up an office in a particular country, we will identify, pursue and win work on their behalf. We will provide them with full guidance in how to select their local partners and assist them with our “Know How” in the local tendering process. We will advise on the “do's” and “don'ts” pertinent to a particular country and culture.

Athens Olympic Games 2004
 Our recent major success was the establishment of the EBC in Athens in light of the Athens 2004 Olympic Games and Paralympics. The EBC operated from 1st of June 2002 and to 30th of September 2004. The luxurious EBC office was based in Aghia Paraskevi, a northern suburb of Athens, about 4 km east from the main Olympic Stadium. The offices were of high spec build, fully air-conditioned and surrounded by gardens.
