Thankyou to the staff at the SS Great Britain for offering us a unique, pleasant and fully fit for purpose, meeting room for our charity Strategy Day. Great to enjoy being somewhere just a little different to a nameless and forgettable meeting room.
It would have been good to have a cheaper option of menu available as well as the one we had. The catering was fantastic though!
