“I would thoroughly recommend the meeting rooms at Black Country and Marches. Over the last two years I have used the meeting rooms to deliver training and business support workshops. I have been thoroughly impressed with the experience. The facilities there are amazing, offering everything I needed for a successful meeting. The ample parking made it convenient for all our attendees and the customer service received from the girls on reception Grace and Tahnee was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their support made my job so much easier. I highly recommend the meeting rooms at Black Country and Marches for any event!”
