Prospero House signs up with Conference Centres of Excellence

Another prominent city centre venue has become the latest member of Conference Centres of Excellence, the UK’s leading consortium of specialist conference venues. It is Prospero House, situated on London’s South Bank close to London Bridge.

Prospero House has a total of 23 training, meeting and conference rooms, located on three floors. It recently introduced a new ‘Illuminate’ event space which, by providing technological links between two of its main ground floor suites, provides a conference capacity of 550. The venue offers high specification AV equipment and sophisticated ambient lighting systems.

It is part of the successful etc venues group and becomes the second venue from the group to join Conference Centres of Excellence: the first was the award-winning Maple House in Birmingham, which became part of the consortium in summer last year. “A venue can only become part of Conference Centres of Excellence if it demonstrates consistently high standards of quality across every part of its operation,” commented Iain Dix, Venue Manager at Prospero House: “It is a fiercely policed philosophy, and we are delighted to have demonstrated that we share those sector-leading standards.”

Prospero House is the latest example of the consortium’s determination to broaden the choice it offers to event organisers through a combination of residential and non-residential venues in a range of locations. Over the past year, it has prioritised increasing representation in major towns and cities: as well as Prospero House and Maple House, new members in that period include the Pitt Building in Cambridge, Weetwood Hall in Leeds, and two further London venues, Broadway House and 76 Portland Place.

“Prospero House is a highly impressive and extremely professional venue in every respect,” said Anthony Lishman, the consortium’s Executive Director: “It gives us even more to offer to those customers seeking prestigious venues in the heart of major business areas, that are close to public transport links.”

Conference Centres of Excellence provides a free, focused venue-finding service for corporate clients and agencies, providing single-source guidance on facilities, availability and rates for each member venue.
