Two Belgian event
agencies, Event Masters and Borealis, have announced they are to merge.
The agencies will
operate under the new name Event Masters Bruges, to offer complete event
services including team building, tailor made events, destination management
and incentives. The new company will employ 20 staff members and 50 freelancers.
Bert Knuts, of Event Masters, said: “Our companies share the same passion for events
and our industry experience is perfectly complementary and mutually
reinforcing. The merger allows Event Masters to offer its total service package
in the western part of Belgium. And thanks to Borealis’ international
experience and field knowledge, we’ll strengthen our position in Bruges."
Dries Jacobus, of Borealis Bruges, added: “Our personalities and company cultures are well
aligned. And we both attach great importance to a personal, tailor-made
approach to create original and memorable experiences.”
Also in Belgium, Brussels Airport has reopened this week, operating at 20 per cent capacity, two weeks after the terrorist attack on the Belgian capital which killed 32 people.
