We loved the location, the staff were brilliant, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. The catering was excellent, had a good selection, and was served in a lovely manner. We had use of the theatre and 3 break out rooms and all were of a high standard.
Eliana and Angie are the organisation's wonderful support team!
Kim who looked after the AV: was really excellent. Responsive, calm, fast and helpful. Really helped the event go well. We would be happy to recommend the IET to others, and I'm sure our delegates would do the same as we got great feedback from all of them.
whilst the toilets were clean they were a bit tired but perfectly serviceable. it's not even really a negative.
