Ben and his colleagues have been of great help. It took us time to finalise our request and Ben kept in touch regularly without "dropping out" which was very helpful. It was sometimes difficult to find the time to focus on the booking for EUROTIER in the middle of short term priorities. Ben was brilliant at keeping me on the ball. Ben and his colleagues made things easy and were always helpful in their feedback and advice. The house found house 7027 was a very good solution. The landlord was really helpful and the house was very comfortable. Thank you very much for your service.

Hi Megan,
I hope you are doing well.
ISH was a great success, thanks for asking.
Do you already have some preliminary rates? It would be great if you could send them so we can review with the team.
Please also send different alternatives, althought we did like the hotel we stayed in, it’s always to see what options are available.
Thanks a lot for everything.
Have an amazing rest of the day.
Kind regards,

Dear Megan,
I hope you are doing fine.
Thanks for asking: Vitafoods Europe in Barcelona was great. Although I wasn't there in person, I can share what my colleagues reported: It was a fantastic trade show, we had many visitors and a lot of good conversations.
Your support regarding the organization has been a big part of our success. Our team really liked the hotel, and your coordination with the hotel restaurant for the menu was very helpful to us. Once again, I sincerely thank you for your great support.
We look forward to receiving your offer and continuing the good collaboration with you!

Good day Tom,
Yes, we have checked out of the H4 Hotel Hannover Messe and we have already successfully returned home! Now there is a lot of work to do with the contact we gained during LIGNA.
As for the hotel, everything was great! Rooms were very clean, beds were soft! We really liked the pool and sauna which was available for the guests - it was a great relaxation after a long day at the exhibition! The only minor issue we ran into was during the check-in. For some reason our bookings was marked as to stay in rooms with one double bed. Thankfully upon our arrival the hotel was not full and employees of the hotel were quick to resolve the mishap with the beds!
Thank You for the great service and we will for sure keep in touch for LIGNA 2021!
