Testimonials

This was a very professional, slick operation.

Head of Management Reporting
Abbey plc



An extremely productive event, providing me with exposure to a number of suppliers in an expedient way, who can now be further assessed for their suitability for solving our business needs. Workshops and seminars add to the overall informative experience.

Finance Director
Adure



An excellent event that combined the chance to meet with suppliers, network and learn new skills and techniques.

Finance Director
Bournemouth & West Hampshire Water



Excellent. A great opportunity to catch up on wider developments and issues, to exchange views and to meet potential suppliers – plus the networking!

Finance Director
Cabinet Office



A full year’s worth of potential supplier contacts can be made in a fraction of the time in a neutral location.

Financial Controller
CPP Group plc



A first class event giving opportunity to network with colleagues, discuss topics of common interest and see the latest offerings from a wide range of suppliers.

Director of Finance
De La Rue Systems



Exceeded my expectations. CPD units, networking, excellent seminars and workshops, suppliers assertive and not aggressive hard sell.

Finance Director
Dreams plc



Excellent opportunity for learning, networking and seeking business partnerships.

Clive Heaphy – Director of Finance
FCO Services



Great opportunity to meet suppliers who you would normally take 6 months to see.

Finance Director
Focus Pharmaceuticals Ltd



Once again the FD Forum was three days very well spent. A chance to meet the suppliers you want to meet and to network. Once again the organisation and service was exceptional.

Finance Director
Interwoven



Excellent opportunity to take time out to think and good use of time meetings suppliers in one location. Good networking opportunity.

Director of Finance
Leeds North East NHS PCT



The Finance Directors Forum was one of the best organised and useful events I have attended. It was a good balance of learning opportunities, networking and contact with potential suppliers both in formal and informal / fun ways.

Director of Resources
Lincolnshire County Council



Excellent. A very good venue and format with a good blend of activities. A good learning and networking opportunity.

Finance Director
London Borough of Islington



Brilliant, it has been the most productive time I have spent for ages and enabled me to absorb new ideas, discuss with suppliers and peers and reflect objectively about my organisation.

Finance Director
Mortons of Horncastle Ltd



A first class event as always, the event of the year for all FDs in the UK.

Director of Finance
MVA Group



An interesting and valuable time. It would normally take months to meet the same number of suppliers and network contacts.

Financial Controller
Resolution plc



As usual, you had organised the conference very well, it is without any doubt the premier event in the UK, believe me I've seen a fair few. This year, I did more work on networking, this has proved very useful as I'm already pursuing a few leads. The chance to do some real networking with some meaningful supplier meetings alongside the opportunity to develop personally is a great recipe.

Head of Finance
Santander Insurance



Excellent way to explore alternative supplier relationships, whilst also being able to share stories and challenges with other like minded colleagues in commerce.

Group Finance Director
Securiplan plc



I was pleasantly surprised not be on the receiving end of hard selling, but instead engaged in intelligent conversation on problems and potential solutions in a relaxed and productive atmosphere.

Assistant Chief Officer (Resources)
Suffolk Constabulary



The ability to sit down with selected suppliers and be updated with new products on the market without any time pressure has to be the greatest benefit. Normally such suppliers are screened out by my personal assistant.

Finance Director
Tellings Golden Miller Group plc



Thank you for arranging such a brilliant event. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and made a number of significant new contacts. The organisation of this event was superb and I was singularly very impressed. At no time did I feel under any pressure from suppliers which helped add to a very productive, relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend attendance to anyone involved in Finance. Well done!

Finance Director
The Shropshire Group



This year has been excellent – I saw several suppliers that will be very useful in the business.

Finance Director
