Run the offsite without it running your quarter.
Company events land on ops because ops gets everything that has no other owner. Comtev does the asking, pricing and chasing for you, and keeps every cost in one live budget you can show finance at any moment.
The all-hands, the team offsite, the customer dinner. None of these are your actual job, but they all end up yours because there's no one else to hand them to. The work that eats you isn't the decision, it's the chasing. Ten vendors, ten threads. The caterer who quotes for the wrong headcount. The venue that goes quiet for four days. You're copying numbers into a spreadsheet at 9pm because that's the only version of the budget that exists, and finance still wants to know what it costs before they'll approve anything.
What changes with Comtev.
You type one brief: eighty people, two days, somewhere within a couple of hours of the office, sometime in March. Then you go back to your actual work. Through the day Comtev is out reaching venues and caterers, holding a block of hotel rooms, and pricing flights and trains for everyone coming in from London, Manchester and Dublin. By the time you look again there are real quotes in one live budget, a round of negotiation already shaved money off the rooms, and two versions waiting. You export the cheaper version as a proposal and send it to finance. The offsite is handled, and it cost you an hour, not a fortnight.
Events always landed on me because there was no one else to give them to, and every one quietly cost me a week. Now I write the brief, the chasing and the negotiating happen without me, and I can show finance the real number the moment they ask.
