“I say a big thank you to you and all the other CCIB team members who helped us to run a very successful meeting. We were all very impressed by the efficiency of the CCIB and the presentation of the rooms/poster boards etc ( a big thanks in particular to the audio-visual team who did not get anything wrong). Likewise, food and social events were excellent. I hope that we are able to work with you again in the future. We wait for authorization”.
“As we are loading the last items of KingfoMarket 2017 onto the trucks, I wanted to take the time to pass my personal thankyou to the whole CCIB team. You have been both incredibly warm and understanding, whilst assisting greatly in the delivery of a very creative, but complicated, event!”
