Started in 1968, the company was initially known as Band Booking Centre. The name became a misnomer as the range of entertainment extended beyond bands to include street theatre, comedians, floorshows, mcs and speakers and eastern state performers. Thus becoming BBC Entertainment.

Today';s managing director, Ms Beth Ormsby began her career at BBC Entertainment in 1976 as a Junior. With a passion for the business and event perfection, she was soon promoted to the position of Manager in 1980. By 1986 she was Junior Director. Three years later - she bought the company. What Beth doesn't know about the entertainment business, isn't worth knowing! Beth ensures that all her team share this knowledge and have a passion for the business of entertainment.
