Speaking about Conduct IT project, Mark Heron said: "We've been delighted with the response to ConductIT. The hardest thing has been convincing people that it doesn't cost anything — I can confirm it is absolutely free for individuals and institutions to use!
We are very grateful to Foden's, for allowing us to film their preparations for the recent European Championships."
