Royal visit to Exeid’s Stanford House HQ

This week, Exeid received the honor of a private Royal Visit to their head office at Stanford House, Castle Gate, Nottingham. HRH The Princess Royal was welcomed to Stanford House by the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire Sir John Peace. You can imagine our excitement when longstanding client, Victim Support, asked us to help them find a space suitable for dignitaries and royalty!

            Stanford House was quickly chosen as the number one venue for the royal visit, especially as the building is such a sight to behold with its beautiful historic features and elegant feel. We all thought that  HRH The Princess Royal would love it!
