“Wylie & Bisset attended Hamilton Park Racecourse this year for our staff outing. When choosing the venue for our annual event it was extremely important the facilities were able to cater for our need to combine the strategic morning of our day with a fun experience for staff in the afternoon.

The organiser at Hamilton Park Racecourse provided us with an excellent programme for our day within one of their hospitality marquees which consisted of a meeting in the morning, a delicious lunch and racing in the afternoon.

Everyone had a fun day out and the staff at Hamilton Park Racecourse made sureall our requirements were met in a friendly and efficient manner.It is more than likely we will be returning next year!”
