A serious word about Workshop Network

What our clients say about us

Anna Rubyzc, Development Manager. E.N.Y.A.N. (English National Youth Arts Network)

From Arts Professional Magazine Issue 133 6th November 2006

“Having previously worked in a busy education department in a theatre, I know just how valuable this site will be!”

Heather Whittam, Director. The Lights Arts Centre, Andover. Test Borough Valley Council

“Great Website, such a useful tool when organising events like The Andover Live Festival.”

Petty officer Andy Makin H.M. Royal Navy, Community field worker. Naval Personal & Family Service and Royal Marine Welfare

“The facilitator which you identified for me was very well prepared for the session and brought all of the materials needed to complete the project.  I was particularly impressed with your organisation though. I recall being in a difficult situation when my original facilitator let me down. As soon as I had come off the phone to you my worries seemed to ebb away and I felt confident that you would be able to get someone to facilitate the day at short notice. The booking was seamless and uncomplicated which really helped me to concentrate on the organisation for the whole week. The team leaders gave me reassuringly positive feedback at the end of the day, which they also took a great deal from too. I am positive I will be coming back to you with more bookings in future events.”

Simon Mills, Head teacher. Churchstanton Primary. Taunton Learning Partnerships Inset Day.

“Workshop network were able to provide 4 high quality artists, at very short notice, for our collaborative learning partnership INSET day.  The artists were all linked to the theme of ‘Carnival’ and Workshop Network was able to find them with very little difficulty.  It saved a huge amount of time in terms of phone calls, emails and follow-ups by being able to work through a single provider, who more importantly was able to deliver an excellent final package that was carefully matched to our needs.”
                                                                                                              
Rebecca Khan, Arts Development Officer. St Albans Arts, Sport and Heath Development.

“This week’s workshops were excellent, the leader was energetic and enthusiastic and she easily adapted her session to meet the needs of the (extremely lively) participants”

Christine Hughes, Assistant Community Librarian. Selly Oaks Library, Birmingham.

“Our staff were impressed with the time put into planning and organisation before the event…The service provided by Workshop Network was excellent. There were plenty of liaisons before the event, so staff knew exactly what to expect on the day. I wouldn't hesitate to book an artist in future from Workshop Network, and have already recommended this service to colleagues at other libraries.”

Joanne Barber, Deaf Family Support Worker. Unit for Deaf People, Derby City Council

“It was a successful afternoon that the participants really enjoyed, it was flexible and relaxed”

Josslyn McAuley, Teacher. Hope Hamilton Primary School, Leicester.

“Thank you very much for the excellent proposals you forwarded me. We are very excited! The artists all appear to be of such good quality that we have decided to book 2 of them”  

Joe Keenan, Teacher. St Edmunds Arrowsmith High School, Wigan.

“I just wanted to let you know that the African drumming and dance were a real hit with the staff and the pupils. The whole day was a real success. I would like to thank you for your very professional service. I'm very confident we will book your services again when our next dates are confirmed. Thanks again.”

Rob Milner, Teacher. Kirk Hallam Community Technology College, Ilkeston

“Just a quick note to say thank you for organising the workshops on African dancing, Eastern European music and Islamic art. They all went down really well!”
