And here’s what they had to say...
Thank you very much for your hospitality. We thought the whole event ran very smoothly and your colleagues in Cafe Quest were extremely accommodating, so please pass on our thanks to them too. In fact we still think that the session was one of the best we've done to date mainly due to the intimacy of the theatre and the great facilities you've got there. Welsh Government
I just wanted to send a sincere thank you to you and your team for your fantastic support at yesterday’s event – I appreciate that you went above and beyond any ‘normal’ support from a host venue, which certainly helped me to do my job, and also helped to make the event such a success. Heads of the Valleys Innovation Programme
They (the team) certainly threw themselves into the event helping all our guests, young and old, make the very most of the Techniquest experience. They also ensured the event went smoothly with their tannoy calls and general supervision of the administration requirements of a large audience. British Computer Society
