Some users of our conference facilities also added additional comments about the service they received, all of which (good and bad) are given below. Wherever we could act on a suggestion for improvement, we did so.

"Lovely space. Great flexible venue and very helpful staff. Nice food. Ideas for improvement: Would be great to have user controls for the lights - not so eco-friendly to have lights on, blinds drawn during the day. Please don't use individually wrapped biscuits or sugar or milk. More seasonal fruit - no strawberries in April. make more info available about your lovely bike parking. Thanks for all your help with minor changes."

"Brill. Only problem light switch to dim for presentation."

"The room was laid out exactly as requested. I had not ordered enough refreshments and the service responded very promptly to requests for more. All staff have been very helpful with the event. Several attendees commented on how lovely the venue is. Many thanks."

"Very good thanks."

"Some delegates found the building difficult to navigate around. Perhaps reception staff could give a better description when telling visitors where to go. I was disappointed that someone was not there to show us around on the site visit. I had a few questions which I then had to come back to the office and email to Sorby House."

"The service and the food on the day was excellent - although we were given a different buffet to the one we requested! Reception staff were very helpful & accomodating."

"The signs in the building were very clear and helpful to attendance."

"A great venue and one we'll certainly return and recommend to colleagues. Thankyou."

"The reception staff (Tom & Roy) were extremely helpful when organising our open day & also during the event. A big thankyou for all the things which were loaned to us for the event and also the room for prayers."

"Quite a few technical problems in the morning - laptop was too slow but problem was resolved efficiently. Had to chase up refreshments in the morning but I think the lady on reception was trying to cover many jobs and was a little overwhelmed. Very helpful overall."

"We were very impressed with the service we received at Sorby House"

"The staff were very helpful!"

How healthy are you?

noreply@blogger.com (Administrator) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 16:14:00 +0000

Today I found out that I have a perfectly acceptable blood pressure and body-mass index but my cholesterol is a little high and I could do with eating more fruit and veg and doing a little exercise now and then.

All it took was 10 minutes of my time while I dropped in to the free NHS health check session which is on every day this week at Sorby House.

If you want to know how healthy you are and get advice on living a healthy lifestyle, quitting smoking or losing weight, why not drop in between 10am and 3pm and find out? They will only be here until Friday 26th February though so be quick.

You can also get a health check at the Sheffield GP centre on Broad Lane. See their website for further information.

New Tenants for 2010

We would like to welcome several new tenants who have moved in to offices at Sorby House since the New Year.

Chartwell Healthcare, You Study and Jabir Ahmad have moved in during January and February while Morgan Dias Immigration Consultants are due to move in to their office in March.

This continues the progress Sorby House has made over the past 12 months which, despite the economic climate, has seen steadily climbing occupancy levels for our office space.
