Feedback
“After signing up to the Technician Commitment we decided to run an event for all technical staff in the University and approached HEaTED for guidance. We are very grateful to Suhel Miah who, drawing on his expert experience, helped us to plan and deliver our first ever Technical Forum. It was an upbeat and energising afternoon with Suhel facilitating two of the sessions. We were thrilled with the level of engagement and participation and now we’re looking forward to running a follow up by ourselves. It’s reassuring to know that Suhel and his team will be there if we need further expert advice –thank you HEaTED!”
