The team at the O2 Centre are and always have been super helpful and friendly, and clearly wanted to ensure that our event was a success. They were able to meet all our requirements, checked everything was OK on the day, and when we discovered a couple of minor technical issues when we were setting up, they sorted them out very quickly and with no fuss. The space itself is great, and the Centre is very conveniently located for transport links,
