Scarman, one of the first purpose-built academic venues in the UK, opened on June 24th 1991 and has been a leader in the sector for twenty years.
Not only do companies and delegates from those early days still come back year after year to use Scarman for their event and conference needs, but more than two dozen staff present on the opening day continue to thrive at Warwick Conferences.
“Testament to that is the fact that our delegates keep returning and our staff stay put. I believe that this is largely based on our values and the fact that we listen to our customers and staff.
“I have no doubt the next two decades will be as successful as the last.”
To celebrate Scarman’s milestone, some facts and figures follow about the venue’s twenty year history:
We have hosted an amazing 77,060 events over 20 years.
We think our breakfasts are delicious and our delegates agree – we have fried or grilled in the region of 721,120 sausages, 2,163,360 rashers of bacon and served 1,442,240 eggs.
A business meeting without tea or coffee is almost unimaginable, so it’s no surprise that our delegates have collectively consumed approximately 3,876,310 teas and coffees.
Where are they now? Well, still here…
