Three new venues have joined the UK’s sales and marketing consortium in the past few weeks.
Center Parcs have joined with their Sherwood Forest and Woburn Forest venues, two spaces offering unique experiences for delegates, and a host of teambuilding activities.
Julia Green, sales and commercial manager, Center Parcs conference and events said: “This collaboration will enable us to build strong partnerships with others in the industry, share valuable insights, and continually improve our team’s skills through learning and development opportunities.”
By contrast to these forest venues, London City centre venue Friends House with conference facilities for up to 1,000 delegates in London, and 35 meeting rooms, is ideally located for conference and event organisers planning to host events in the Kings Cross, Euston and Bloomsbury areas of the capital.
Eamonn Cole, head of operations, Quiet Company, said: “It is a huge privilege for Friends House to have been taken into membership of Venues of Excellence. Having been in membership with Venues of Excellence in the past with other conference centres, I am fully aware of the very high standards required in quality of facilities and services, efficiency of operation, and absolute commitment to customer service for venues to be accepted.”
Mandy Jennings, CEO for Venues of Excellence, commented: “We are continuously on the look out for ‘best in class’ conference and event specialist venues, that match our values and ethos, plus that we know will fit our fantastic community of operators who have a passion for our wonderful industry.”
Venues of Excellence now offers 53 venues with over 10,500 bedrooms and 1,200 meeting rooms collectively within the membership.
