WHY WORK WITH BLACK TOMATO?
• With a focus on performance and innovation in terms of the product and
service we offer and an unwavering commitment to our clients, today
Black Tomato is a multi-award winning, fully-integrated travel and
incentive company that has recently been recognized as the 47th fastest
growing privately-owned business in the UK.
• We currently have a multilingual staff of 55 based in our London Head
Office, a small but fast growing team in New York and a trusted partner
network throughout the globe, which allows us to service our truly global
client base in a seamless fashion and provide 24/7 care.
• We have experience of delivering events in the UK and Worldwide for
between 8 and 800 people. True Global Reach – in 2010 we had 3000
people travelling to over 100 different destinations and we aspire to
provide ‘one distinctive experience, wherever we are in the world’.
• We are an Externally Audited and Certified ISO 9001 company meaning
that our Internal Quality Management System (the way that we work!)
meets and exceeds an Internationally recognised standard and
benchmark for quality.
• We are fully ATOL/ABTA/IATA bonded for complete piece of mind
CREDIBLE – COMPLIANT – HIGH PERFORMING - SUCCESSFUL
WHY WORK WITH BLACK TOMATO?
• With complementary corporate and leisure travel divisions within the
company, we combine the benefits of a high quality, volume leisure
business with our corporate group business to offer our clients the most
up to date advice and best possible rates.
• We are also able to leverage our own brand – which suppliers, tourist
boards and other global companies such as Dunhill are keen to be
associated with – in order to deliver the most cutting-edge experiences
and exclusive access to our corporate clients.
• We are therefore uniquely positioned to provide more creative and
differentiated travel incentives than our competitors, thanks to the
unique relationships, expertise and approach we have developed in our
quest to do things differently within the incentive travel marketplace.
• Our corporate client base today includes many of the biggest brands and
blue-chips on the planet, who we provide a huge range of incentives to, in
order to help them stand out from the crowd in an increasingly
competitive and complex climate.
VALUE – PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE – EXPERIENCE - CREATIVITY
GENERATING COST SAVINGS
• Black Tomato is uniquely positioned within the incentive travel industry to
offer the best possible value for your incentive programmes
• Alongside our corporate division, we have a high quality, volume leisure
business servicing high-end private clients. This allows us to obtain the
most competitive rates from properties and suppliers that we are using
for both sides of the business and also ensures a fantastic pool of travel
knowledge within the Company, with leisure consultants specialising in
different regions of the world on hand to support our incentive team.
• Due to increasing awareness and recognition of the Black Tomato brand,
we are able to obtain rates and access from suppliers and tourist boards
that are equal to and often better than much larger companies are able to
secure – as people genuinely want to work with us. Hotel groups such as W
Hotels, for example, are currently paying us to have a brand partnership
with them, so offer us superb rates and other benefits as a result.
• We’ll also use our unrivalled travel knowledge to ensure that we absolutely
maximise the impact of your incentives but minimise their cost, by
ensuring you travel at the best possible time to a certain destination from
a cost v quality perspective i.e. shoulder rather than high season.
GENERATING COST SAVINGS
• With an unwavering focus on client care, we’ll obsessively seek value for
all your incentives and take the time to genuinely understand the needs of
the group attending each one. We’ll then tailor-make a programme
accordingly, saving cost wherever we can by organizing a stand-out
experience, but one that is aligned to the expectations and experience of
the participants.
• In April 2010 we joined the Independence Group, which is a consortium of
independently-owned and managed travel companies operating under one
of the largest ATOL licenses in the UK. The buying power of the combined
group ensures that we access the most competitive possible rates for
travel elements, but also for credit cards and Foreign Currency – saving
you money every step of the way.
• Your business means a lot to us, so we’re flexible on management and
retainer fees and will also offer ‘net net’ rates to you – allowing you to
claw back budget through the hotel and other supplier commissions that
most incentive companies will keep for themselves.
• As a dynamically growing business with relatively low overheads, our fees
and margins are lower than those of the biggest agencies – so we’ll ensure
we’re supporting you and not the other way round.
A SELECTION OF THE COMPANIES WE WORK WITH...
A SELECTION OF OUR AWARDS AND ACCREDIDATIONS...
One of the 100 coolest
things in the world. Don’t
even try to live without
them. The ones to watch. Black
Tomato is part of the group of
people redefining travel.
Black Tomato’s input from the initial stages of
concept development to final fulfilment have proved
invaluable. Your creative suggestions for
experiences were exceedingly beneficial.
They deliver outstanding events which demonstrate they
clearly understand the egg brand. Their range of ideas is
always fantastic and they have an outstanding knowledge
of destinations around the world.
Black Tomato has been
phenomenal. Adding the extra
wow factor seems to come as
part of every project.
I really don't feel that any words can do
Black Tomato justice but I can honestly say
that with all the suppliers I have ever dealt
with and on all the projects that I've worked
on, this was by far and away the most
happy I have ever been with the service I've
received as a client.

Back To Reality Post Event Pack
Mountains of e-mails, no food in the fridge, you can’t get back
into your favourite TV series because you have missed
episodes… The first day back after an amazing trip away is often
a pretty depressing one! To counteract that, our “Back to
Reality” service should hopefully help. Delivered to your doorstep
in a nice shiny envelope, it is our antidote to that nasty first day
back feeling.
Our kit includes a DVD movie that is relevant to the Incentive
Event destination and a copy of The Week magazine to re-
introduce you to the real world. So sit back, flop in front of a film
and catch up with world events at your own pace. It’s not another
trip away, but as reality checks go we think it beats the boring
stuff – so relax, that can wait until tomorrow… We see our ‘Back
to Reality Pack’ as the perfect end to the trip and a great final
branding opportunity.
Black Tomato offers this service at a ‘cost’ price of: £20pp
