Thank you and your staff for an incredibly successful event!
The feedback from our 30+ guests has been positive from every perspective you can think of and from the SVP’s through middle level managers in attendance. One specific email the planning team received was especially gratifying and reflected what we heard from so many. It read:
“Hats off to your team for a wonderful team building event. I have been with GSK for four years in April and I can honestly say that I talked to more people today than I think I have at any other meeting. What a fun way to mix up different working groups! Thanks for all your efforts. I truly enjoyed the day.”
We appreciated your attention to detail, counsel and
willingness to listen to our preferences throughout the planning process and during the event. Your location worked out great for our short commute from RTP. I think everyone felt special as soon as they walked in and saw the custom chef’s aprons with our colors and logo, the matching flowers on the tables and artfully displayed finger foods and drinks to welcome them.
