Conference Centres demonstrate Excellence in Industry Awards

Members of the sales and marketing consortium won an amazing five gold awards at the Meeting and Incentive Travel Awards in London, along with three silver and three bronze awards.

And at the BDRC Continental Venue Verdict Awards held in January, five Conference Centres of Excellence venues were Gold Standard Venues, with IET Venues picking up a fantastic double for No.1 UK Brand and Gold Standard Brand Award.

Conference Centres of Excellence executive director Anthony Lishman said the awards were especially significant as they had all been voted for by clients of the centres.

“I am delighted that so many of our members have received such fantastic recognition for the quality of the product and the service that they deliver,” he said.

“Both the M& IT Awards, which is voted for by clients and the Venue Verdict awards, which are based on feedback given by visitors, are highly valued within the industry.

“To have a member pick up the No.1 Brand and our member venues winning gold, silver and bronze in best UK management training centre, best conferencing and banqueting staff and best academic venue is a fantastic accolade for those venues, and for us to have them as members.

“It clearly demonstrates that as an organisation we can offer access to the very best management training and conference centres in the UK, offering top quality service and facilities matched very closely to client requirements, whether it’s a one off event or a programme of activity spanning the UK.”
