I booked this space for a team meeting with my team of around 17 people and it was a really pleasant experience. The room was clean, tidy and spacious with air con! (Which was a godsend on such a hot sunny day!!).
The projector was bright enough to keep the slides and video going and breakfast, coffees and lunch provided kept everyone happy, fed and watered.

The staff at reception were so accommodating and helpful and were extremely welcoming and never missed a beat.

Plenty of parking, good space for a meeting with access to outside without a hassle.

Will look to book this again. Thanks Team 😎

The staff in reception were absolutely lovely! Friendly, chatty and approachable. They looked after me well for the 2 weeks I was there.

Lots of parking, just need to get a pass from reception.

Spoke to one of the maintenance guys a few times and he was also super chatty and friendly.

Only thing missing seemed to be a communal area for breaks. I couldn't find anywhere to go to have my lunch, apart from benches outside - not ideal in the cold and/or wet.

Otherwise, I have nothing but praise.

We hired a training room for 3 days at the business centre and they could not have been more welcoming and accommodating.
Any requests we had were dealt with pleasantly and efficiently, they were so willing to help with any small favour we needed.
Mandy in particular was a huge help throughout the 3 days, but everyone went above and beyond to look after us.
The facilities were excellent. Would strongly recommend and we will definitely be back again!!

A good place to work within as there is always somewhere to park and this is important in a busy city. As an employee working for one of the businesses using one of the units, it is easy to get to and saves a fortune on car parking fees. The unit is modern and comfortable with good toilet and kitchen facilities available. The staff on reception are always friendly and helpful.
