Client Testimonials

Renfrewshire Council - Education & Leisure Services

"Well equipped, bright, modern environment with very helpful, friendly staff"

NHS

"The event went very well.  The venue was the best one we have used - both in terms of size and layout.  Food also was just what we wanted.  It was also really nice to have the laptop and projector all set up for us. Not being a technical person, the IT stuff always worries me!!  It was great to have your help - you made it very easy and stress free.  We will certainly remember where you are, and although we have now finished the educational aspects of this pilot project, it is likely that we will be repeating it next year.  So now we know where you are and facilities and support you can offer, I don't doubt that we will be using the Abercorn building again"

Kibble Education and Care Centre

"We at SCM Europe have used the Abercorn Conference Centre for training different groups over the course of several years.  The facilities and catering are excellent and we have a pleasant and flexible working relationship with the Centre"  

Careers Scotland

"The whole process from the initial enquiry to the event organisation itself was excellent.  Very friendly, helpful administration helped make the booking smooth and efficient.  Modern technology, central location, parking and regular communication, made this an obvious choice for our event."

Renfrewshire Council

"Abercorn Business Centre is an excellent, accessible town centre location for our events and has proved very popular with our delegates.  Professional, friendly administrative and technical support services are also reasons for us to keep coming back"

Strathclyde Police Renfrewshire & Inverclyde Division

"The Abercorn Centre is a dedicated conference facility offering latest technologies, dedicated parking and a team on hand that could not do enough"

Renfrewshire Community Health Partnership

"I strongly recommend using Reid Kerr to others as we have always had first class service.  The staff are extremely helpful and nothing is a bother. The food is good, especially the scones"

"I found the Abercorn centre to be an excellent venue, comfortable and well equipped with extremely helpful staff and the added value of convenient parking.  Highly recommended"

Leonard Cheshire Disability

"Helpful and accommodating doesn't begin to describe the staff at the Abercorn Conference Centre.  Thanks to the events and hospitality teams, 60 of our volunteers had a fantastic day out at our annual thank you event.  The facilities at the venue are superb overall, but special mention needs to be made of the technical amenities and physical accessibility, as well as the team of staff on site that ironed out any last minute amendments and made my job on the day so stress-free"

Chartered Management Institute

"As the Renfrewshire Branch of the Chartered Management Institute, our customers are mainly our members and for them we regularly run meetings, projects, seminars and other events.

Reid Kerr College, over the last two decades, has been our main provider of Conference facilities for these events.

With every Project we start off as Reid Kerr College's customer and rapidly the provision of a service becomes a partnership which is hugely appreciated by us and our customers.  This "ownership" which is picked up by the staff of Reid Kerr College at all levels, from Principal down, is outstanding.  They consistently achieve and improve a benchmark which is based on good management, commitment and professionalism.

Thank you and long may it continue"

ChangeMasters

"Abercorn is an ideal training venue for us - easy access from M8, on site parking, large and airy well-lit rooms and a great level of service from the staff ensures that training days run extremely smoothly.  The food is always top class, and our delegates really appreciate the afternoon cakes!  On top of this availability is rarely an issue with so many different sized rooms to choose from.  A really good venue option"

Royal Sun Alliance

"I am very glad I chose Reid Kerr Conference Centre for RSA's leadership event recently.  The staff couldn't do enough for us and with excellent facilities and equipment, including some wonderful home baking it really is great value.  My colleagues were also very impressed and are definitely going to use the centre themselves"

Milne Craig, Chartered Accountants

"Our firm has used the Reid Kerr Conference Centre on numerous occasions and find it an ideal location for our own conferences and training as well as hosting client seminars.

The lecture theatre is spacious yet comfortable and has all the facilities we require for audio and visual presentations.  There is also the back up of IT support should we require it, at short notice.

Reid Kerr have also taken care of our catering needs when we use their facilities and are always able to provide a range of options and menus.

We also find the location ideal, being only minutes from the M8 and Glasgow Airport"

British Heart Foundation

"Basically facilities are good, booking is easy and Anne has been very flexible and helpful making sure our needs have been met.  IT support for each time has been excellent for an external group coming in. Catering has been very good and again, our needs have been taken into account at reasonable costs to a charity.  All in all a venue I would go back to, and endorse as an external user."

Jobcentre Plus

"I booked the above facility for Jobcentre Plus use in July last year, in order to carry our numeracy and literacy testing sessions.  I spoke to Anne Capuano in advance of the date and provisionally booked the centre, confirming it with her nearer the time.  She was very helpful and ensured we had all the facilities we requested.

When we attended on the day, the main room was perfect for our use and as required was set up classroom style.  We also had access to a room for use as a waiting area and to photocopying facilities.  I found the staff all very approachable, pleasant and helpful.

I had not thought about catering beforehand, but on asking for this to be provided on the day, it was no problem and our staff were provided with a light lunch as requested.

We would use this facility again as it was ideal for our purpose."

Fosterplus

"Professional, efficient and friendly service provided from point of first initial query.  Excellent facilities and room sizes to suit most events.  We will be continuing to use Reid Kerr for future events in Paisley."

Remploy

"We have utilised the services at Abercorn Conference Centre within Reid Kerr College for over 2 years and have always found the staff and the environment to be of the highest standard.  Every service we have asked for has been provided on time and always with a smile. All staff from Catering staff to IT staff are always on hand and more than willing to help.  The centre has now become an extension to our working environment and we sometimes forget that we are not employed by Reid Kerr!"

Rotary District 1230

"We are delighted to utilise the facilities of Reid Kerr College Abercorn Suite for the recent Youth Speaks competition.  The accessibility of the venue, together with excellent provision of car parking made this an ideal venue for this competition.  We had schools coming from across the west of Scotland to Reid Kerr College and all commented very favourably on the quality of the venue and facilities provided.  This is an ideal location and facility in which to hold this prestigious event and we look forward to utilising the facilities at Reid Kerr College on an annual basis."
