Tesco Christmas Sales Conference
I just wanted to say a huge thanks to you and your team for all your help on this year’s conference. I do appreciate the long hours and early starts… [...] You went over and above and were always on hand to help where needed. We all felt that you were an extension of the TMB team and I can imagine you will now be requested going forward on all Tesco events.
Again a great addition to the team. Great attitude to our content and always smiles for early and late rehearsals. A really professional outfit. I even witnessed a comment from James Morrison that the set up and equipment quality was first class. Overall we delivered an amazing event, so thanks again for your contribution to this.
