Testimonials

''We would like to thank NWRC Foodovation™ and especially Clara Brogan for taking on the massive task of streamlining our recipe collection and making it so simple and easy for everyone to understand. This service is totally invaluable to a small business.''

Jamie and Jonathan Ritchie, Co- Founders of CocoBros

"A tour of the XR Hub and visit to Fergal Tuffy of the NWRC ignited a new spark in the Millennium Forum. Aaron McKeever at NWRC has also been a true catalyst for innovation at The Millennium Forum. As the biggest theatre in the North West aiming to explore the realms of AR for the first time, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Thanks to NWRC’s invaluable support, we’re entering a new era of engagement and entertainment, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.’’

Cara McCartney, Development & Creative Engagement Manager at the Millennium Forum

"The Skills Focus programme has been a highly positive experience for our business. It delivered practical and well-structured ILM Level 3 Leadership & Management training for Megan, our Trainee Manager. The training and guidance were clear, comprehensive, and accessible, and the programme significantly enhanced her confidence and capability in planning and workforce development. Overall, it has had a measurable impact on strengthening business capability and supporting sustainable growth.''

Joanne Boyle, General Manager of Elephant Rock Hotel

''I had tried other anti-snoring devices but found them bulky and ineffective. With the help of NWRC Product Design Centre we designed a solution that was compact, comfortable, and effective. Over 120 couples are already enjoying the benefits of a silent night’s sleep thanks to Soundly. We would like to thank all the team, those who support our project and the companies and institutions who provided professional, technical, and financial backing during this process.’’
