Anthony Ackroyd highly enough. He was brilliant and his efforts over the last 2 days helped lift us to heights not seen before in my time at this organisation. He managed to get us out of the box!!! Not an easy task! Well done!! We all agreed Anthony’s work stimulated us to produce excellent outputs that will be very valuable for our business in years to come. We would be happy to give Anthony a reference for any future corporate events.
