We thought the conference rooms were brilliant, and most staff commented on how Covid safe they felt with the way it was all set up. The staff around the building, the ones that I spoke to were happy to help, and very professional.
We would like to thank you especially, for all your assistance and help, not forgetting the number of deliveries that you signed for and allowed to be delivered to site prior to our meetings. The food was amazing, and the service on the food counter was too.
We will definitely be coming back to Yarnfield Park when we need to arrange some more general meetings and another staff team day next year, hopefully with less deliverable items.
We needed to find a suitable location to meet and demonstrate new product to remote colleagues and under the current circumstances were interested in finding a venue in a good central location away from our operational site. The Yarnfield Park venue was ideal, we were able to carry out a safe, socially distant and ultimately successful training event for our team. The site was well organised to reflect current rules and requirements and made us feel welcome and well catered for – including a hot lunch!
Can you please send our thanks and appreciation to your Manager and the whole team for making the last 3 weeks stay at your conferencing facilities as smooth as possible in the current climate.
It was noted the high level of effort, you and your team went to, in order to make our stay as safe and uninterrupted as possible in order to start our course.
The way you all pulled together, working as a team and filling in the gaps where needed, and keeping the smiles going was really appreciated. Nothing was too much trouble.
We look forward to using the venue again and again in the future and wish you all the best.
