Milton Park survey

Posted by & filed under Centre News.

Each year we ask people who work at Milton Park to complete a survey to help us learn more about their ideas and what they think can be improved across the park. Changes you may have already noticed from previous survey are the new road signs, landscaping and a change in layout in Café Metro.

I ask you to kindly circulate this amongst your staff. All entries will be given the opportunity to enter our free prize draw to win some fabulous prizes including an Apple iPad mini, Amazon Kindle or new Apple iPod Nano.

A comprehensive response to this survey will provide useful feedback and aid us in understanding how best to serve you and your employees, thus ensuring the quality of life for occupiers and business efficiency is maintained at the highest level.
