Official Feedback from & Virtual Events

"I am just writing to thank you for your support at the Roast Beef Club lunch last Friday. The event was very well organised, in an impressive venue, and the company was excellent too. Charity auctions rely so heavily on the role of the auctioneer. That the auction went so smoothly (well, -ish!) and professionally, and the quantity of money raised so impressive, is a testament to your skill and craft as auctioneer.
Thank you for your invaluable input and support to the event. It will make a major difference to the Regiment, particularly in terms of welfare support of our soldiers and families. It is on their behalf that I thank you once again for your hard work and generous support. I am hugely grateful" - John, Lt Gen
