While we are flexible, we’re looking for demos that can be shown in around 5 minutes. Let us know if you need longer.

After filling in the detail in this form, you will be contacted by Dr Graham Walker who will work with you to make sure you have access to everything you need.

A good demo isn’t a good demo without risk management. Graham will also work with you to ensure everything is safe and any crucial risk mitigation is in place.
