Be very wary of booking corporate or other events through the following company:
It looks as though they focus on small- to medium-sized companies, and as (for obvious reasons) we have never booked one of their events, I can't say whether the events even exist - it would clearly be foolish to pay money up front to a company that ignores completely the eight statutory Data Protection Principles (contained in Schedule 1 of the DPA 1998).
We might try suing for nominal damages under Section 13 DPA 1998 but it is easier to block their e-mails and flag the IP addresses of their servers, and their domains, as sources of "spam" (unsolicited bulk commercial e-mail).

The company uses a number of different mail servers to push out "spam" advertising of corporate events, and although an "unsubscribe" link is provided, it doesn't work... it doesn't matter how many times you use the unsubscribe link (which is "confirmed" each time), you will continue to be spammed by the company, indeed it seems that the number of spam e-mails from different servers simply increases, each from different "No reply" addresses.Registered Office Address:

I'm sick of getting spam from them too.
Wish they'd go away.0
