Meet Us
WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM AT ULTERIOR
We are a small team. We share the same passion for delivering exceptional incentive travel experiences. We work hard, we all “muck in”, we love what we do and most importantly, we get on great. Here’s a little bit more about us all….
GRAHAM ALDERMAN
I love this business, I really do. What could be better than being in an industry that takes me around the world and allows me to see the very best it has to offer?
I have the absolute pleasure of sharing that wonder with the groups we host and sharing it with my fabulous team. Watching months, sometimes years of planning come to fruition over a few days somewhere around the world is the pay-off. It genuinely is one of the absolute joys of my job. What we do is hard work because we strive for perfection. We push the boundaries and we push our suppliers because we want the best for all our groups. I want everyone that comes on our trips to be blown away. Blown away by the destination, the programme, the activities, but most of all, blown away by how we put it all together. I have the best team to work with and I want people to see what we do and how we make a difference. I have been on trips as a guest organised by other agencies…
…and they simply don’t come close to what we do. We have the best the ideas, we make the best plans, we always go big on the detail and we nail the execution every single time.

FIONA THOMPSON
Fiona has been part of our set-up for far too many years (More than I am going to say here, anyway) but let me just say that she has A LOT of experience!
Originally working for my father, Fiona is now a Director of Ulterior Events. She is completely detail driven and is the perfect business partner for me (I am a bit more creative than detail!)
She works tirelessly and has the complete trust of her clients. She builds relationships by showing true commitment to each event and has a memory recall of guests, dietary requirements and special requests that is second to none. She has a constant smile and genuinely loves what she does. On-site, she shines and is trusted by clients and guests alike. Ulterior Events needs real dedication and commitment to the cause, and Fiona has played a real part in the success of the business, and she’s a bloody good mate as well.

ELLIE FROWD
Ellie is a key member of Ulterior who works well with the team, and when she’s not managing her own events, offers great support to the others. Since joining us, Ellie has bought into the company spirit and the detail driven ethos that we have. She works particularly well with her clients and they have complete trust in everything that she does – as do I. On site, Ellie is a complete natural with guests and has a fabulous attitude to the work ethics needed and brings a very welcome and smiley face to the early mornings after the late nights. Ellie has a big future in the events industry as she “gets it”. A hard-working, committed, natural talent that we are grateful to have on our side. When you meet her, feel free to ask her about her dancing in Senor Frog’s in Playa Del Carmen – now that’s a story!

MARTIN ALDERMAN
My Father started this business in 1991 and although we sadly lost him at the start of 2023, his legacy lives on. Martin, with his team did some amazing incentive events around the world. I used to listen to tales of Status Quo in Mexico, The Beach Boys on the beach (where else?) in the Bahamas and a group of 650 for four nights in Singapore and Bali. He used to come home from these trips and tell me all about the great things he’d done and seen and would paint pictures with his words. There was no WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook – I had to wait until Snappy Snaps had done their bit before I saw the pictures. This one is him on-site somewhere in the world in one of the early days of the business. Hair freshly blow-dried (as always) and proudly wearing his bright pink Teamwork Travel Management polo shirt. He loved the business and was well loved around the world. We miss you.
