‘I just wanted to forward on my thanks to you yourself, Basia, and all the team there for everything at the weekend. The meeting went amazingly and I’m reckoning the feedback will be very positive. Florence was delighted with the room and she said that Basia is probably the best contact she has worked with in a hotel over the years on assisting with AV and facilities for the meeting.’
I wanted to thank you for everything you did organising our event/ it’s was an absolute dream! Jason and the team ran a great show, the room looked beautiful, the meal was delicious- Karl was just perfect. As for the crowd- well they couldn’t have been more enthusiastic! I heard people were singing and playing guitar til morning, I bowed out before this- I hope it wasn’t too disruptive to the staff. Sean a young guy working at the function was superb, showed a lot of initiative- when I was trying to round up the rowdy crew for a photo, he went off and got a bell!’
