"There is nothing else you could have done to make our event run any smoother. In a 'nutshell' if this was strictly come dancing you would get the full 40 points for perfection. Thank you to all at Highgate House for making our staff feel they were valued and made to feel very special."

"This is the second time now that the XKEC and F-TypeEC has had the priviledge of staying at the Highgate House Hotel in Creaton and on both occassions the venue has provided a very friendly and warm atmosphere to the many members of our club who have stayed there. The facilities and service for our evening dinners has been excellent and the accommodation is superb, we will certainly return again in 2017."

Mark Gregory, Chairman XKEC and F-TypeEC

"All those that attended commented on how beautiful the house, gardens and location were. They were all really impressed with how clean and well kept it all was. The meals also went down very well, as did the chocolates, which they seemed to appreciate a lot, particularly in the afternoon! All the staff were very kind and helpful, and were one step ahead us. Delegates noticed that the venue was just for businesses and commented on this in a positive way. I would definitely chose this venue again, not only because it is a lovely venue but because the level of professionalism and service. From an organiser's point of view I had nothing to worry or do as you'd done it all for me. Thank you!"

I (Iain) work as an associate with Laing O'Rourke delivering a 4 module, 11 contact day programme branded Supervisors for 2020.

The culmination is a two day event at Highgate and it is an absolute pleasure to be able to expose them to the levels of service, genuine pleasantness, and obvious passion for detail that continues to elicit wows and similar comments from our delegates (over 100 so far, 400 to come).

What is so special is that we share and encourage a range of behavioral change opportunities that would enhance their supervisory effectiveness during the 11 days and these are so obviously enshrined and displayed by every last person we come into contact with whilst at Highgate (Sundial Group). This in itself is an absolute credit to everyone there, and also actively demonstrates the impact of not just recognizing and talking about these values , but also living and displaying them at every opportunity.

Your people are clearly very special and care immensely about all aspects of their roles and jobs, not at all dissimilar requirements of a construction site supervisor, just a different environment. Please pass on my own personal thanks to your colleagues in acknowledgement of their efforts that go so far to make every event we have at Highgate special, memorable and reflect the core values, behaviours and beliefs that we encourage within the program.

"We have now run three courses at Woodside and each one has been very expertly organised. With professionalism and helpfulness of the staff, nothing was too much trouble. We were always greeted with a smile and asked if there was anything more they could do for us!. The food was excellent - a big thank you to the chef. On the whole an excellent venue."
