๐๐ผ Well done to our Business Development Manager Brett Smith, and Event Coordinator Stevie Sykes.
โ๐ผ Here a just a few comments from the recent Federation of Small Businesses (Federation of Small Businesses - FSB) - Small Business Speed Networking event we held at the Lakeview Room at the University of Essex last week.
The event was a total success, and due to its popularity, Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) will be holding another.

โช๏ธ Fantastic communication before and after the event, in terms of catering costs, capacity, deadlines, parking arrangements etc.
โช๏ธ The venue is fantastic, and a super map was supplied so that people could easily find their way to the room.
โช๏ธ The coffee and pastries were delivered on time โ they were excellent quality.
โช๏ธ Brett and Stevie were incredibly helpful on the day. Little things like offering to put a banner up are incredibly helpful.
โช๏ธ Nothing was too much trouble. For example, we asked for some water, and this was facilitated quickly.
โช๏ธ There were some nice little touches, which made a big difference. Such as signage leading up to the room and FSB's website on the big screen.
โช๏ธ It was nice to have University staff on site throughout, in case there were any issues.
โช๏ธ We will not hesitate to use this venue again. Event Essex are incredibly lucky to have Brett and Stevie on their staff.
