“Doing the right thing” is the guiding principle of our work. We only work in a financially transparent “open-book” manner. As a result our clients always see the exact cost of a service. Our fees are always separate because we do not engage in mark-ups or hidden commissions. This means that you can always be confident that we are only working for you.
Any commissions that are from time to time offered by suppliers will be used to offset the fees we charge for our work.
Brightelm pays its team members in excess of the National Living Wage. All team members within the business are also enrolled in a “share of profit” bonus scheme, so we’re all aligned with the same common goal of doing a great job for our clients.
All our team members take a minimum of 35 hours of continued professional education per annum in order to stay up to date with movements in our industry.
We promote an inclusive working environment because we believe that inclusivity leads to diversity, which in turn leads to a happier more settled team.
We also promote wellbeing throughout the organisation and support EventWell, the event industry’s social enterprise for wellbeing.
Compliance is a necessary part of modern business across the financial, pharmaceutical and also the medical devices industries. Our team are fully trained on international pharmaceutical compliance to recognised standards by Compliant Venues Ltd, and are fully versed in the ABPI, EphMrA and MedTech Europe codes of conduct.
One of the reasons you use us is that we maintain excellent relationships with our suppliers. We only engage with suppliers who themselves run their business in an ethical fashion. They pay the National Living Wage (or equivalent if overseas) and have sustainability ingrained within their culture.
When sourcing suppliers our aim is to provide you with three appropriate quotes for each requirement along with our recommendations. These are based on our experience of working with our suppliers together with the value proposition of their product or service.
“Brightelm have provided outstanding event support to my organisation over the years. A special mention goes to Senior Project Manager Jon Richards, a most attentive, considerate, organised and polite project manager. I knew that with Jon and his colleagues our project was in safe hands, and would highly recommend Brightelm to other organisations.”

“Brightelm assisted with UKISUG Connect by providing expertise in constructing our registration platform, website, attendee app, and speaker management system. They designed an advanced registration framework capable of seamlessly accommodating diverse attendee categories, such as those eligible for discounted rates, exhibitors, and speakers. The pathways they created allowed for skip logic and quick entry points, enhancing the user experience during registration. Collaborating with Jon and his team was a pleasure, and we look forward to extending our partnership with them for the next UKISUG Connect.

“"Shelley and Jon supported Nisbets Live with Exhibition Management and Delegate Services in the lead up and onsite. Shelley was the main point of contact with our exhibitors throughout, ensuring that all documents were uploaded in a timely manner, and exhibitors had everything they needed before going onsite. The team also managed registration and were involved in checking all participants in on the day. The software offered us a seamless check in process for those who had pre-registered, and for those who wanted to register on arrival. This is our second year working with Brightelm and it’s always a pleasure working with the team."”

“"We worked with Brightelm on a recent virtual event, and Rob did a fantastic job of coaching the speakers, who were unfamiliar with the digital format, and really put them at ease. Tara also did a great job running the tech side of things. Thanks team!"”
