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.

Dear Andrea, Karen, Claire & Sarah,
Following my conversation with Andrea, just a quick note for you all – it has been a pleasure to work with such a professional and friendly conference booking agency. Believe you me – in all the conversations, enquiries and confirmations that I have dealt with it has been great to work with you, both at The Centennial Centre and The Botanical Gardens.
Continue to be warm, friendly and funny and business will only continue to come your way.
All the best, Ceri

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.

It was a great service as it took the hassle out of finding a venue. Sometimes options came through that weren't actually available on the dates required so that seemed a bit pointless but on the whole I was happy with the venues on offer.

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!

Dear Simon
It is not often that I feel moved to write to an organisation to express my thoughts on the service that I have received but then again it is not often that one experiences the excellent level of service that I have been afforded by Lucy Thomas from your team.
Not only has Lucy provided an effortless solution to what seemed at times to be a big ask but she has also completed the exercise twice due to my end customers change of heart as regards the venue locations. On mentioning this to Lucy she not only smoothed my rather ruffled feathers but literally at that moment started looking to fulfil the new requests.
I am delighted to be able to commend these thoughts to you and with this contract being one that I am fulfilling for the Department for Transport I am sure that my end customers will be as delighted as I am to continue to use and recommend your services in the future.
Many thanks

To whom it may concern
Lucy Thomas has been assisting me to find the perfect venue for my first training course, which I will be running in January. She was very helpful at all stages of the process and eventually found what I think is the perfect venue! She has been great at following up on every question I asked her (even the stupid ones which she has no doubt answered hundreds of times before!) Your service is wonderful, and it Lucy has made it easy for me to choose to use your company again in the future. Thanks Lucy!
Yours faithfully

I am contacting you to let you know how delighted I was with the service I received from one of your staff Andrea Bloxham.
She was very helpful and provided various options for me to consider. She was extremely patient with me even though I asked her for more options to research. Her great sense of humour and pleasant manner was to me a real breath of fresh air.
