ROYAL COLLEGE OF MIDWIVES ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2006
"We found it extremely beneficial that the Conference Torquay Delegate Accommodation booking service took on the management of delegate's accommodation bookings for our Conference, Royal College of Midwives 2006 which was held 9-12th May in Torquay. We did not receive any queries or complaints from delegates which is a testament to how successful the whole process was handled. If we bring a conference to Torquay in the future I will without doubt use Conference Torquay to handle the accommodation bookings for delegates"

NATIONAL UNION OF TEACHERS ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2006
“New venues always present different challenges even to those of us who have been involved in conferences for a while. I was confident the RICC would provide a good service for us and they didn’t let us down. We may have tested the resources of the Centre but everyone was wonderful and rose to the challenge. In particular, I would like to thank Nicky Harding for her hard work prior to the conference and for her efficient management of the delegate hotel bookings.

Principal Officer for Organisation and Administration |

"Words can not express my gratitude for all the care and support you provided in the preparatipn of the conference and particulary the weekend itself.
have had so many congratulations on what people are saying was the best conference ever and that is in no small way due to you and your efforts. My Club were brilliant but they said they couldn't have done it without your help. It all worked so well - there was a lovely buzz about the whole weekend.
The food was superb and the management of all the functions was brilliant. You can be assured that Rotary 1200 will come back to Torquay - and I am already passing on to other Districts how well we were looked after by you."

The
Benenden Healthcare Society Limited
'I'm
sure you must receive loads of complimentary letters and
it's no exaggeration to say everything was perfect - from
your personal input to the chef to the stewards in the
hall, everyone was efficient and charming. I also appreciated
the chance to meet Barry Cole - the first Managing Director
of a conference venue I've met - as it's very useful for
both of use to exchange feedback at the end of conference.'
'Of course, the drawback of having such a 'perfect' venue
is that it highlights other venues' imperfections and
I shall certainly be demanding higher stands in the future'.

'We greatly appreciated and valued the assistance willingly
given by all the Centre staff both seen and unseen who
worked so hard during the Championship. The happy atmosphere
within the Centre was in no small part due to the expertise
and teamwork shown by all concerned'.
'But the Centre's contribution
was much wider than this. It was a treat to deal with
professionals who could be relied on both to help hammer
out solutions to any problems and to carry out their
commitments cheerfully and effectively.

the help and co-operation you gave us during the BMA Conference.
It was apparent that nothing was ever too much trouble
to help with the successful build and running of the show
and combined with the friendly atmosphere within the building,
made it a very successful conference for the BMA.'
