Two of New Zealand's leading event companies join forces

Auckland, 13 March 2012 – Two of New Zealand's leading event companies are now one. Touch of Spice Events and Exclusive Events NZ now operate under the Touch of Spice Events banner - a business move that will see significant growth in the Touch of Spice Events divisions in both Auckland and Queenstown.

Jacqui Spice, owner of the Touch of Spice group is thrilled about the acquisition and the many opportunities it brings. “We will now focus on positioning the events division of Touch of Spice as one of New Zealand's leading specialist events companies, delivering innovative destination management solutions as well as creative event styling and production.

"As with all aspects of the Touch of Spice business we are primarily focussed on delivering a high level of service to our discerning client base."

Liam Taylor, director and founder of Exclusive Events NZ, will lead Touch of Spice Events as General Manager. Liam brings with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the New Zealand travel and events industry.

"The new Touch of Spice team will continue to strengthen its presence in the events industry. This will be achieved by combining its creative approach with a strong focus on going 'back to basics', with a particular emphasis on quality client relationships and delivering a stunning overall experience."

Exclusive Events and Touch of Spice worked together on several joint projects last year and the combined business venture was the logical next step. Liam is excited about the strengthening in the marketplace that this represents for his clients.

"Our clients will now have access to the impressive list of services that the greater Touch of Spice group has. These range from the award winning Private Villa Collection, a Travel & Leisure division and a personalised concierge service, enabling us to offer clients a complete event and travel experience," Liam says.

The combining of the events businesses makes for an exciting year for Touch of Spice Events with a string of excellent events planned throughout New Zealand. “We have strong growth forecast for 2012 and beyond. It's promising to see clients enquiring about events as far out as 2014, it is great to see that sort of confidence coming back," he says.

Touch of Spice Events intends to continue with its approach of being an industry leader when it comes to innovation and creativity. Jacqui adds, “We want to be known for our attention to detail as well as our ability to think outside the box and deliver truly unique experiences for our clients”.
