Would just like to say a few words about Eric, for truly he is diamond find. Eric worked very closely with me during Royal Ascot 2025, where he manage private / corporate hospitality boxes in the grandstand at ascot racecourse. It is a very pressurised, fast pace, demanding environment, where the clock is ticking and expectations are extremely high, where there is little room for error. Eric remained calm, thorough, kind, helpful with an exceptional eye for detail. He cared and nurtured his team, some being nervous to work at such a high profile event and proceeded to deliver a service and client experience of the highest standard, building magical memories for guests and his team.

He is proactive, thinks through problems to find the best solution, fast acting and so very helpful to his colleagues. Working with Eric was a complete pleasure and very reassuring to know that he cared about his team, service, guest experience and colleagues with a warm heart and total professionalism.

Very much looking forward to working with Eric again!
