Santander Work Café, Isle of Man Avis 

Natalie Radford was absolutely brilliant in helping Love Tech with our event at the Santander Work Cafe on the 10th October. She was very helpful in ensuring we could use the space on a suitable date, and helping us set out the venue in a way most appropriate for the format of the event (which was a panel event), and helping us communicate with the catering team to ensure the attendees were well looked-after. The venue is a lovely space and we have had wonderful feedback after the event, and so will definitely look to use this space again for future Love Tech events.

Santander implies that there is a quiet place to work in the basement, where the rules say that you should be silent, take phone calls outside, not to disturb others, etc. They also ask you to consume food only bought on the premises, i.e Noa's food. That amounts to about minimum ten pounds if you want to work there many hours per day. However, in the basement there also is some clothes provider shop called Noble Suitor. Today the door of this shop was constantly open into the quiet area where cafe customers were trying to work on their laptops. People, including friends of the man working at the shop coming and going constantly and chatting loudly, the man's small child talking loudly to his dad via Whatsapp on the loudspeaker... I approached a lady at Santander desk with this issue, but she was dismissive, saying that the man was renting the premises and Santander did not care. That means that the quiet area is not available in Noa's. At least I should be able to bring my own food then...

IoM Chamber of Commerce have recently held our 2024 series of member meetups at the Work Cafe. from start to finish , everything has been perfect. Great space, outstanding facilities and excellent coffee.

This is the 3rd time I have done a presentation here and I continue to be amazed by the fabulous business community service that Santander provides. The facilities are all excellent, the support in marketing events is tremendous and the people who attend events here all seem to be relaxed and enjoy the space. The facilities in the meeting rooms are excellent too with top notch video conferencing screens. Highly recommended.

A great venue and helpful team - the perfect venue for running events, meetings and working.

The Santander Team onsite were great both before and during the event. They checked in with us and made sure we had everything we needed to run a successful event.

The venue and coffee are also fabulous

We used the space to hold a coffee morning for our service users to meet some of our leadership executives and provide feedback. The entire experience was fantastic. Natalie was great to work with, booking the space was easy, any questions answered straight away. The space is amazing, warm, welcoming. Would highly recommend and will use again.

We recently held an event at the Santander work cafe for the Mooir Vannin Offshore Wind Farm public consultation. Natalie and the team couldn't have been more helpful!! They were on hand during the day to help with set up and making sure we had everything we needed. The venue was beautiful, in a fantastic location and with a brilliant cafe attached. We would definitely use them again!

A very user friendly central work place. This is the first time I have used an internet cafe and the experience was so simple to use. The staff and facilities are just great. I will come back again many times!
Thank you

The events team at Santander Work Café cannot do enough to help you. Natalie has been a great supporter of our charity and the use of a meeting facility and events space is a great benefit.

We had a company networking event on the Mezzanine at the Santander Work Cafe and it was a great venue for our event. The Santander team as well as Noa who provided food and drink were great and we had really good feedback from guests too, would definitely host another event there again.

Great communication from Chris Corkill at the Santander Work Cafe in Douglas.
Very efficient for opening a new account.
Highly recommended!

Seemless, friendly, relaxed, professional service.

Chris Corkhill was extremely supportive and made our corporate and personal account opening process smooth and simple.

Fantastic venue for events. Easy to organise and quick answers from Santander whenever questions pop up.

Great, versatile space to hold a public workshop - the whole team were incredibly helpful!

Work Cafe team were very supportive and responsive. The event ran smoothly and we received positive feedback from the attendees. It is a great addition to the event spaces in Douglas and offers a very different look and feel to the other options available. We would recommend the venue to others.

Natalie and her team were just fabulous. Soundology was fortunate enough to host weekly Sound relaxation sessions throughout October in the cosy basement of the Santander Work Cafe. They provided brilliant support with promotion, bookings and set-up for the events. I can't thank them enough for supporting my small business and for providing a great venue from which to share Sound for Well-being. Thank you. Amy

Natalie was fantastic at our initial meet and greet and listened to requirements and made them happen for our pop up session with the Cancer Alliance. The feedback from our service users and the Cancer Alliance was that the venue was one of the best they have seen for an event such as a drop in session

The experience was seamless from start to Finnish.
The team were attentive, responsive, and made sure every detail was tailored to our needs. Truly top-notch service that made our time and event memorable.
Highly recommend"
