Event management company Cievents today opened an office in Toronto, Canada.

Cievents global general manager Natalie Simmons said the new office, in Dundas Street West, gave the company a footprint in seven countries.

“With this expansion, we now have a presence in Australia, the USA, Canada, the UK, New Zealand, South Africa and Hong Kong,” Simmons said.

“Further expansion is planned for next year, with a Singapore office set to open early in 2016.

“This global expansion allows us to continue to offer our customers a truly global solution to their event management, event production, reward and recognition, digital and design requirements.

“We are very excited to be expanding our cievents family into Canada. Given Toronto’s proximity to the United States’ East Coast, we will also look to establish close ties with our US business, which is headquartered in New York and performing well.”

Sasha Mazzuca, who is already based in the city, will head up the new business.

Sasha has more than 10 years’ experience in the travel and event space and has overseen the launch of three businesses for Cievents’ parent company, the Flight Centre Travel Group, in Canada.
