I’d like to say a very heartfelt thank you to you and the Pines Calyx team for looking after us so very well during the On Purpose CEO Programme residential this week.
In addition to the venue and grounds being absolutely lovely, and most conducive for our participants, you and the team were outstanding in your care and attention to detail. You really made the experience of working at Pines Calyx special, and easy for us.
