What they say about us:

"I feel that HQNZ was an integral part of the success that we achieved and without your assistance we wouldn’t have looked so good! Critical to that success I believe was HQ’s ability to provide a ‘one stop shop’ for destination management, event management and team-building, all from within your organisation, without the need to out-source. This way we were able to rest assured that you knew what was happening each and every step of the way. Added to this was your seamless integration with Peak Teams which enabled our team building day to be one of the best ever.
Your attention to detail, personal approach and that inexhaustible willingness to satisfy every request made the HQ experience such a pleasure. You jokingly said that it is your job to make us, as the organisers of our conference, look good! Based on the feedback that we have received since returning to Sydney, you definitely made us look good!"  Solvay Pharmaceuticals

 “I am pleased to report that all our delegates enjoyed themselves immensely, both at the Goldrush Gala Dinner and on the excursion to Arrowtown. Your efforts helped leave our delegates with some lasting good impressions of both Queenstown and New Zealand, and we could not have done that without your assistance.”  New Zealand Post

“Every detail was covered and handled with a great professional approach. Once again many thanks – look forward to the next time we’re in Queenstown.”  BMW Australia

“Fantastic trip and our European team said that it was the best one ever. If you want to impress your staff or clients and have fun along the way, this is the trip to do.  Very highly recommended and exhilarating and with HQ organising it, you know that they will have thought of everything!”  Fisher & Paykel

“Thank you for all of your help, effort and professionalism displayed at the Ego Pharmaceutical National Sales Conference. All themeing and planned events were very well organized and all delegates have made mention that it was definitely the best conference they have been to. I have enjoyed working with your team at HQ and will certainly recommend your services again.”  Ego Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd

“I wanted to thank you all for your superb job on the ground arrangements for the HP Asia/Pacific group. We’ve only received positive feedback and will certainly be pushing Queenstown for future programmes.”  Hewlett Packard

“HQ provided the opportunity to see the beauty of our country in a style that was relaxing and without pressure to give our delegates memories that will stay with them for life.  HQ took on board what we asked for and provided us with support and a comprehensive day of activities.  Our delegates and the team from Hyundai NZ Ltd convey our sincere thanks for your support.”  Hyundai Automotive NZ Ltd

This was the most enjoyable programme I've ever worked on on-site.  The 3 separate programmes running different hotels meshed perfectly, and you did spectacularly well to coordinate helicopters, planes, coaches and staff as you did. There's no doubt we'll be suggesting Queenstown as a fantastic destination for our clients and as soon as we sell the destination again, we'll be coming back to HQ for your expertise, imagination, professionalism and sense of fun.” Olex Cables

“I would like to thank all at HQ NZ, for the sterling job you did with the Lexmark group.
It is very, very rare that I am able to relax and enjoy being with the group, simply fulfilling the escort role - normally it can be such a bun fight that you wonder if it is all worthwhile.
I had high expectations and you guys delivered!!!  Thank you very much.”  Lexmark

“Many, many thanks to the HQ team and yourself for great gigs and I really loved working with you on these events, the group and the client were really, really happy with the events, "best ever" comments came back.”  Hannafords Australia

“It was great that it was all about having fun and working as a team in a non-confrontational environment… everyone came away from that session absolutely ‘buzzing’ which is a credit to HQ.” New Zealand Wines & Spirits Ltd

“Thank you for putting together a memorable and exciting incentive trip.  Everyone, from age 3 to 90 years had an amazing time.  Thank you for your support, organisation and hard work to ensure our trip was a great success.”  Melaleuca of New Zealand & Australia             

“I would like to thank you and your team for another fantastic staff conference. Last year’s conference with the Peak Teams programme was a complete success and I did not think we would be able to top it, however the Wearable Arts programme this year was outstanding. The staff not only had a great time, the teamwork that went on throughout the day was great to see and exactly what we wanted to achieve.   Not only was it creative and fostered strong teamwork, it was also extremely entertaining.” HRG New Zealand    

“Your team is fantastic and has a good appreciation of the reality of operating in business and relating this back to the activities.”  Coca Cola (Amatil) NZ Ltd  

“A huge thank you for helping to make our conference an outstanding success.  You certainly delivered on all your promises of three fantastic dining experiences.  The organisation of your team was superb – well-planned and efficiently run – and the theming of each venue was to a highly professional standard providing for a truly authentic encounter. The Goldrush evening in Arrowtown was one of the favourites.  These evenings certainly achieved the desired results for our delegates and for that, I am truly thankful.” ING (NZ) Ltd         

“I wanted to say a big thank you for all your help over the Jaguar Program. I know it was very challenging at times and we had to go back and forth many many times with programme ideas and costs. However you worked very professionally and in the end we were able to deliver a very very successful programme.”  MINT Organization, Australia

“I don’t quite know how to thank the HQ team for what I can only describe as exceptional event coordination and management.  Our team had the time of their lives. Your reaction speed to issues that emerged, your forethought, and your friendly approach is commendable.
Everyone at HQ was a pleasure to work with! Your standard of work is truly exceptional and inspirational!  We will recommend your firm to anyone considering a conference in New Zealand and we look forward to working with you further in the future.”  White International, Australia

It certainly makes my job as conference co-ordinator so much easier with the type of support your team provided. Not only did the team exceed with the theming and co-ordination of every event, but they related well with our delegates and nothing was too much effort.”  Fletcher Aluminium

“They are the best in Queenstown” World Corporate Travel
