Ovation Story
Ovation Global DMC represents the natural evolution of a Destination Management Company (DMC) formed almost 20 years ago in Ireland by Patrick Delaney and Padraic Gilligan. Initially a 2 man operation, Ovation's niche activity rapidly earned its reputation as Irelands premier DMC operator growing to a 50+ award-winning organisation with full Destination Management Service offices in Dublin and Belfast and representation across the US, Canada, Europe and Australia.
Today Ovation has grown into a truly Global Destination Management Company with 18 wholly owned offices, and through the Ovation Strategic Partner Programme and an alliance with the DMC Network, Ovation is now present in over 60 destinations located across 4 continents.
Amidst the many naively grandiose claims on the company's initial collateral piece, there is one statement that rings as true today as it seemed it would when it was initially written. We knew that our success would be inextricably linked to our ability to build and leverage the human capital in relationships: internal relationships with our own people; external relationships with supplier-partners and, crucially, with customers.
“People and relationships are the DNA of Ovation Group. Through our openness, passion and expertise we develop your vision and make it happen!”
This mission statement remains at the very core of what we do as we now embark on the next stage of this exciting journey....
