Hi, I had an experience with SLX Limited last summer. I have never dealt with a company that talked down to their staff in front of customers so blatantly and rudely. Their crew ground crew were wonderful to us but seemed to be plagued by any sort of management and belittled by their bosses which isn't nice for anyone. Thank you to the guys on the ground you did a wonderful job. To anyone in management please learn how to treat your staff well and learn some manners. Many thanks, Tom.

It's been an absolute pleasure working with SLX on countless of productions over the years. They offer an unrivalled service that is both streamlined and comprehensive. Briony and her colleagues in the hire team are always quick to respond and ever so helpful and accommodating to our needs, while their experts are always on hand to offer invaluable advice. The MDs Comedy Revue owes a great deal to SLX's continued support and we look forward to further collaborations between our two organisations in the many years to come.
