Founded in 2005 by Sam Spillane, SJ Events was formed to provide a straightforward but fun approach to event management. The business is based around understanding our clients' needs and then creating events and travel experiences that allow them to engage with their stakeholder audiences.
We fundamentally believe that if the events and experiences we provide help businesses engage, then these activities will add real value to their operations.
Our vision is to be a respected and trusted business partner who delivers events and experiences that make a difference.
We are focussed on ensuring positive outcomes from the events we deliver to enhance our clients' reputation with their audience – be that internal or external.
