Field report from the Evangelical Clarenbach parish (Cologne)

Dear mill team,

We would like to thank you once again for this wonderful day, which was characterized by friendliness, professionalism, taking care of the guests, delicious food, great cake, delicious coffee.

“You really have what it takes!” is all we can say. In today’s service desert, where you are unfortunately confronted with bad-tempered people far too often and are constantly confronted with the term “staff shortage”, you have really convinced us otherwise. Hard to beat. We drove back feeling completely relaxed and at ease and really enjoyed the day itself.

A very big thank you for this!

Best regards from Cologne
