What our customers are saying about us

Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club

I would like you to pass on my sincere thanks to everyone involved with our Seminar on Saturday 11th May. It was an excellent day in a great venue, with very helpful personnel. Michelle was very helpful and understanding during the pre-event preparation and the staff on the day, including the caterers were outstanding – faultless. Already planned for another in September and hopefully more next year.

Church of England

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you again to you (and your team) for doing such a fabulous job today, we were so well looked after, and all went really well. Thank you and hopefully see you again, Everarda

Advance Communication Skills Course

The venue is amazing with excellent facilities. A very big thank you to Lucas, your Apprentice who helped us with any little IT problems we had! The catering was lovely! Your professionalism, support and help on the days was much appreciated. I would recommend the Wade Centre to anyone who is holding study events or conferences in the future.

Very helpful staff. Thank you so much for everything. I would love to work with you all again. Ivy O'Santos

Gemma - Baby Lifeline Training

The feedback about the venue was excellent – our faculty, delegates and Reps couldn’t have been happier. Our Baby Lifeline Reps fed back that your venue is well-located, had plenty of space and several rooms which would suit other courses we deliver. We shall definitely bear you in mind for future events. Thank you for supporting the day. Kind regards, Gemma
