The Royal College of Physicians has launched new Summer Barbecue packages for one of London’s most distinctive locations: its recently enhanced physic garden, now the largest in the country.
It’s a genuinely unique and memorable setting, which has become increasingly popular with event organisers. The garden includes many exotic and historic medicinal plants from all over the world, including some dating back before the dinosaurs.

More demand for serviced offices at Missenden Abbey
Since Christmas, three more companies have taken up the opportunity of serviced offices at Missenden Abbey, the Buckinghamshire venue. There are now a total of six organisations renting space at the Abbey. “All the companies all have commented how basing their businesses in a customer-focused environment has helped their business,” said Missenden Abbey’s CEO Steven Crawford: “They also say that their visitors all comment on the ‘wow’ factor of the building.”
The residential venue has recently introduced flat screen TVs in all bedrooms, and has been awarded the Chiltern District Council Gold Award for its high standard of Food Safety for the third consecutive year.

Conference centre business beats the trends...!
The Conference Centres of Excellence ‘Hotline’ venue finding service managed to defy the recession in 2009 – posting an increase in the value of business that it referred to member venues.
It was a particularly notable achievement because the team wasn’t in operation for the whole of the year. Conference Centres of Excellence only decided to bring its sales operation in house in January of 2009, to
provide a better, more focused service to event organisers. It came into operation in the spring
“The concept of having an in-house team, marketing our venues more aggressively and focusing all its efforts on generating new business within the group, has quickly exceeded our expectations,” says Executive Director Anthony Lishman:“For both our client base and our membership, it is paying real dividends.We also have no doubt that the in house team is providing a better service to organisers: it's well in advance of
the service provided by most other venue-finders.”

BVEP reviews three main Party Manifestos ahead of election
Industry body prepares to publish its own manifesto and issue to new government and newly elected MPs.
Conference Centres of Excellence are among the members of the Business Visits & Events Partnership (BVEP), the umbrella organisation for the UK business tourism and events industry.
The BVEP has reviewed all three of the main political party manifestos and is set to issue its own industry wide document to the new government and parliament following the forthcoming elections on May 6th.
Chairman of the BVEP, Michael Hirst OBE, said the contents of the party manifestos were “encouraging” with “a recognition that the importance of events to the economy and the community is beginning to gain some political traction and the creative industries, of which Events are a part, should be further supported.”
The BVEP’s own ‘Manifesto for Business Visits & Events’ which has been created by a separate government affairs group within the BVEP after extensive consultation with all of the major UK industry associations in membership of the Partnership, is to be published at the end of May and distributed to all incoming Ministers and MP’s following the general election.
Michael Hirst concludes; “Whilst we still have a long way to go to establish business visits and events firmly in the minds of politicians, the three main manifestos are certainly encouraging, and demonstrate that the work we have done over the past 12 months has, at the very least, caught their attention. The publication of our own manifesto will continue to push forward that message and ensure the industry receives the recognition and support it deserves”.
The publication of the ‘Manifesto for Business Visits & Events’ comes ahead of the event at the House of Commons on 20th October, during National Meetings Week, where all new MP’s are being invited to attend a reception and presentation on the sector.

National Meetings Week 2010 Set for Launch
Business Tourism PR specialist, Davies Tanner, will shortly be launching this year’s National Meetings Week (NMW) campaign alongside VisitBritain.
The campaign is extending even further into the year with the focal point undoubtedly being the Business Visits & Events Partnership (BVEP) hosted event at the House of Commons on 20th October.

Conference Centres of Excellence widens choice of Training Venues - HRD 2010
Conference Centres of Excellence, the UK’s leading consortium of specialist conference and training venues, comes to HRD 2010 with yet another choice for training organisers. Its latest member is 76 Portland Place, the successful venue in the centre of London.
Conference Centres of Excellence currently has more than 40 members, spread across the country. Together they provide a complete spectrum of venues, residential and non residential, town/city centre and rural, traditional and purpose built. The group includes many of the country’s best recognised and most successful specialist locations for training and development. To achieve membership, a venue must achieve stringent standards of quality and service across all aspects of its activity, from facilities to on-site support and overall customer support.
As a significant support for training organisers, the consortium offers a completely free venue-finding service, called ‘Hotline’. Brought in-house in the spring of last year, the service provides a comprehensive, personal and completely free ‘one-stop-shop’ service, linking organisers with member venues. The team can provide immediate guidance on facilities, availability and rates (usually obtaining quotes within two hours), and can arrange visits. It can also help identify appropriate venues for specific events, obtaining proposals and progressing negotiations up to and beyond the point of exchange of contracts.
While parts of the venues sector have been significantly affected by the recent downturn in demand for off-site training, Conference Centres of Excellence members have in general resisted the trend. “ Organisations still know that there is no better guarantee of totally effective training than locating it in a specialist venue with no ambient distractions,” says Executive Director Anthony Lishman: “We are pleased to see that, while of course there has been downward pressure on rates, the pure focus that our members provide has helped sustain their business in the sector.”
The Hotline team can be contacted on 0845 230 1414, email info@cceonline.co.uk . Details of the consortium’s services, and of each of its member venues, can be found on http://www.cceonline.co.uk/ .

Aston Business School Conference Centre, Birmingham
THE MØLLER CENTRE BECOMES AN ACCREDITED IT TRAINING VENUE
The IITT’s assessment involved a thorough audit of the Centre’s technical facilities, technical support and service to clients. The accreditation process also examines related factors, including business integrity, client perception and procedures and quality of staff.
Stuart Websdale, General Manager of The Møller Centre said ‘We are delighted to have received this accreditation. We have a programme of continuous reinvestment in all our facilities, but particularly in our technical capabilities to ensure that we can offer our clients the widest possible range of solutions for their event. We hold a significant quantity of AV/IT equipment on site which allows us to keep costs down for our clients and react quickly to changes they may require.’
‘For example,’ he continued, ‘during the poor weather in January, several delegates were unable to reach the Centre. Rather than cancel the event we facilitated the transmission of the presentation as a live webinar, with delegates logging in from their homes, offices and motorway service stations! A video conference was run alongside to enable those at remote locations to participate fully in the meeting.’
The Institute's Accreditation is emerging as the de-facto standard in the IT training industry today and is becoming a requirement for the majority of training tenders in Government and blue-chip corporations. The widely recognised accreditation gives clients the assurance that a venue’s facilities conforms to the Institute of IT Training’s Code of Practice and offers facilities and technical services of the highest standard.
Mark Carberry, Sales and Marketing Manager of The Møller Centre said ‘We are absolutely delighted to gain this accreditation. It is a testament to the dedication and quality of our staff, and that we have dedicated technical specialists on-site at all times.’
The Learning Facilities Accreditation scheme is a critical element in the Institute’s mission to raise standards within the IT training sector and provides the standard of excellence against which organisations are benchmarked. As part of its drive to improve standards, the Institute focuses considerable attention on this programme.
In February, The Møller Centre was awarded Silver for ‘Training Venue of the Year’, by the Institute of IT Training based on its ability to offer clients the technical facilities and support they require, including its recent extensive investment in additional AV/PA; video recording and relay, video conferencing, and web- conferencing and casting.
Mark Carberry, Sales and Marketing Manager for The Møller Centre, said ‘We are delighted to receive this award in recognition of our service and facilities. Service is at the core of what we do, starting from the first point of contact with a client and working with them every step of the way to ensure a successful outcome for their event, and our staff are at the very heart of this process.’
Image Caption: The Møller Centre meeting rooms are designed to be highly flexible, and can be set up to suit the client’s requirements.
Note to editors
The Møller Centre is a purpose designed, dedicated management training venue owned by Churchill College, University of Cambridge.
Built through a donation by the A.P. Møller & Chastine Mc-Kinney Møller Foundation in 1992, the benefactor’s vision was to create a centre of excellence where links between commerce and academia could be forged to provide continuing professional development to the managers and leaders of tomorrow.
The unique building and interiors, with emphasis placed on natural light, flexibility and good design provides a stimulating and creative environment for learning and development. The recently expanded Study Centre is designed as a collaborative learning environment, continuing the tradition of creating buildings that put the needs of users first, by ensuring natural day light, state of the art technology, flexibility of use, supported by a highly trained, professional team.
The Centre has 23 meeting rooms, 71 bedrooms, restaurant, bar, leisure facilities and ample free parking on site. It is located close to the centre of Cambridge in 42 acres of parkland which provides a tranquil environment for delegates. The site comprises a Main Building, with a tiered lecture theatre, seven meeting rooms, Tower Lounge Bar, restaurant and bedrooms and a Study Centre with large flat-floored flexible training space consisting of 15 meeting rooms and networking/refreshment areas.
The M11 motorway is less than a mile away, Cambridge rail station 15 minutes, and Stansted airport 40 minutes.
The Møller Centre draws clients from a wide range of FTSE 100 and international corporates, SMEs, the public and academic sectors. We serve local, national and international organisations with delegates (generally, middle to senior executives) coming from around the globe. Not only do we offer meeting space we also develop overseas and cultural educational programmes.
We offer a dedicated event planning service to help organisers achieve the outcomes for their event, and can assist in providing extras such as teambuilding, leisure, cultural or sporting activities. To ensure that all meetings receive the same level of business focus, we do not accept non-business related functions, such as weddings.

Examples are provided here of some of our venues initiatives, as we seek to provide a greener environment in which you can conduct your meetings, training and other events in.
