"Office Opening" - a success!
Well over eighty invitees turned out to celebrate the opening of our new office at 68 Lombard St EC3. The "informal drinks evening" format provided what proved to be a very popular opportunity for peer group discussion between the managers, consultants and verifiers present. Thank you for your support.

The attendance level at this event exceeded all expectations, and the official feedback received from delegates has shown that the topics covered were popular and that the distinguished speaker panel was deemed as being of the highest quality.
