“I recently had Mr. Tony Chen from Stretch-A-Leg organize a very important programme in Beijing this month.  The programme was quite complex and included nearly 30 attendees that have very high expectations.  Even so, it was a huge success.  The attendees were all very pleased with the experience and all felt that the programme was well organized, insightful and something that they could not have arranged on their own.

I worked with Mr. Chen for several months on this project and every request was handled in a highly professional manner and the results were consistently beyond my expectations.  Mr. Chen has an exceptional character and I would look forward to working with him in the future.  I would not hesitate to recommend his services or employ him again for any future projects we may have in China.”

“For our study trip from August 13th to 23th this year, our participants selected Bejing, Nanjing and Shanghai. During this study trip they visited different companies and attended presentations from business representatives in order to get a deeper understanding of the economic and political situation in China. Mr. Tony Chen from Strechaleg (China) has accompanied us and cared for us during the whole study trip. He was responsible for all organizational matters, as for example transportation, food, cultural activities, etc. Mr. Chen has always been a competent partner and contact person. His kind and helpful manners contributed a lot to the overall success of our trip. Tony Chen’s organisation of and performance during our study trip was more than excellent – he carried out his duties dilligently and in a very organised way, thereby exercising great care and reliability. His dedication to our programme merits respect and exerted valuable influence on our trip. Tony Chen was without doubt the key to our study trip’s great success and our students’ satisfaction.”

“BrainsToVentures Ltd. (B-to-V) is a leading European service firm serving entrepreneurial private investors. Customers of B-to-V are entrepreneurs who have each built several companies, sold them, or brought them publicly. Thus B-to-V serves dynamic and at the same time very sophisticated customer groups, who are accustomed to first-class service.

This year (in February, 2007) 35 of B-to-V’s customers and 10 of their spouses followed our company’s suggestion and made a trip to Asia in order to be better informed about the culture, people, entrepreneurs and investors in Beijing, Shanghai and Singapore.

B-to-V employed Tony Chen’s company Stretch-A-Leg to organise the logistics for this trip, booking our transport, guides and restaurants and arranging many informative day-to-day activities. As the trip took seven days altogether, several parallel programs were required to suit the investors and their spouses. This involved more than 250 people altogether, with different locations for every single meal. The organisation this required was very complex indeed.

However high B-to-V’s expectations might have been, Tony Chen’s fulfillment of them was even higher. B-to-V customers will never forget the unique trip they experienced. After the trip, B-to-V got personal and very positive feedback from every single participant. This would not have been possible without Tony Chen’s professional organisation before the journey and his personal commitment during our whole stay in China.

We very much thank Tony Chen for his great service and fully recommend him to any organisation or potential client.”
