“I just wanted to put in an email what a fantastic job you did on our event. Everything went so smoothly and nothing was ever to much trouble. Your attitude and your team’s attitude on site was fantastic and I really appreciated all the extra bits you did for us to help make the event the best yet (according to the client!).”
Feedback from an event management client
“Thank you for everything last week at the Cathedral, we were so happy with how everything looked and the lights really transformed everything. Your team were very helpful onsite, please pass on my thanks. We look forward to working with you in the future.”
Feedback received from a university professional conference organiser PCO
“I just wanted to drop you a note to say how amazing the Sterling crew were on our fashion event! We can honestly say we wouldn’t have been able to do it without him and we wanted to make sure that this praise was sent direct to you guys. Nothing was too much of a hassle for them and their patience and enthusiasm was just outstanding, and we are truly grateful for that. We have had amazing feedback from the client about the AV team, around how nothing was too much trouble for them and whatever the request they were able to make it happen and in such a professional manner. I’m sure there will be many MANY more positive comments after the debrief but we wanted to make sure this was relayed to you today.”
Great feedback received following a beauty event for a high end Event Agency
“Just a brief line to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding support we have received from the Sterling team in the last two months. As you are aware, your hire manager has tied everything up from a planning perspective – and we have experienced brilliant execution on the 9 events from your highly experienced technical team. I know you are aware of the format of the events – in essence, it’s fun and fundraising – and this series has focussed specifically on client and conquest companies – and as always, we absolutely wanted to impress. You know I made the decision to move our event business to Sterling based on supplier service experience – I absolutely need our technical team to demonstrate capability and for every event to feel seamless. This series has – and I’m excited to work with the team on the rest of the 2019 programme. Please pass on my thanks to all involved.”
