I have had all my venue dealings with Charlotte, and i must say she is the most profound, well mannered person i have ever spoken too. She is always helpful and eager to go beyond 'the call of duty', which sadly many people in customer service roles are not prepared to do these days. Charlotte is an asset to your company. And because of her professionalism i am quite confident to say i shall be using conferences UK for finding future venues. Regards, C. Higgins.

On sending out our Christmas E-shot we were amazed by the response rates the Conferences-UK data provided. With an over 25% read rate, and 500 plus readers clicking straight through to The Christmas Company website that very day, I can heartily recommend it as a quick, economic and effective marketing solution"

We have booked a series of 6 campaigns with Conferences UK and the first was distributed at the beginning of March 2008, the open rate was impressive and we received 4 conference enquiries in the same week as a direct result. The enquiries have all confirmed and the value is £18,500. We are extremely pleased with the results of the campaign and with the service from Conferences UK.

I have worked with Conferences UK on various projects over the last 4 years and would recommend them every time. They not only provide an exceptionally professional service but as a Partner Venue, helped increase our exposure through the website, generated new leads and some fantastic enquiries & above all else, REVENUE!! Most notably a £60k piece of business recently converted at one of our properties. That's R.O.I.!

Working with Conference UK has proved to be an excellent experience for Whittlebury Hall and Scalford Hall Hotels. As a partner venue we have enjoyed increased exposure through the website and associated marketing; this has led to quality enquiries for both prperties. We have also enjoyed the open relationship between Conference UK and ourselves; allowing us to discuss ideas and feedback to create a highly productive relationship for both sides.

Having featured a large number of venues on the Conferences-UK site, I am delighted to be able to say that everyone of them, from the smallest heritage site, to the largest racecourses and stadia, have excelled. As a result, we now consider Conferences-UK to be one of our top web-partners, and are working with them to develop our site profiles to bring in even more revenue. Conferences-UK provide great service, excellent on-line capability, and above all, financial returns where they're most required - our bottom line.

By getting Conferences-UK to do the venue searching for me, I have saved myself so much time to carrying on with many other jobs/duties. They are fast, friendly & efficient when providing all details to your requirements.

I have set up and successfully ran over 200 conferences, seminars and soirees and used various companies to help organize these events for me. Conferences-UK and Georgia Kellet in particular have been helpful, polite, courteous and PROFESSIONAL throughout. I am arranging now what is to be the biggest event in our history and it is of paramount importance that I get everything 'spot-on' This has meant me going back to Conferences-UK on a number of occassions with queries and changes. Every time I have been greeted and dealt with in a totally efficient and professional manner. Keep up the good work. Vince Garvin www.womeninbusinessconference.com

I wanted to say how helpful I have found your employee Lucy Thomas, she is very friendly and has helped me enormously this month I have never used a booking agent before but since dealing with Lucy I will be getting her help rather than searching for our seminar venues myself going forward.

I was having trouble finding a venue for a Corporate Event for the Cambridge area and contacted Conferences-UK. They were very helpful and collated a list of venues within a couple of days. The service was brilliant. Although I did not eventually use the venues that were available I would use Conferences again as it made it simple and saved a lot of time. Thank you

I just tried through your agency to locate and secure a site for a conference. I would have to say they were not very helpful infact I felt they were not too interested in the business. I have set up conferences before this is not my first.

I have organized quite a few conferences and meetings over the last few years. The part that I hate the most is phoning round all the different venues trying to get prices and availability. Lucy and the team at Conferences-UK took all the hassle away and just presented with my options and prices. Will definitely be using their services again.

I am truly appreciative of the performance of Conferences UK and Charlotte Larkin. I needed to organise 75 people for a 4-day event with hotel rooms and could only give 8 days notice. Charlotte came through within several hours with multiple available venues and all within budget. I am truly impressed with the speed, efficiency and accuracy of the information provided. I also appreciate the friendliness of all the staff members during all of my contacts. I would personally recommend Venues UK to anyone.
Great job! Thank you!
