College Court in Leicester, a £14m project to transform a group of Grade ll listed buildings into a leading residential conference venue has joined Conference Centres of Excellence, the UK’s only sales and marketing consortium of dedicated meeting providers.
College Court will open in October 2013 combining exemplary service with modern, state of the art facilities - a dedicated conference centre housing 18 conference rooms with capacities from two to 160 delegates, a 200 cover restaurant, bar, separate Garden Bar with wide screen TV and business lounge. The onsite 123 bed hotel includes a selection of executive rooms and nine suites, as well as offering free onsite car parking, free wifi throughout, free leisure club access at two nearby University gyms and state of the art AV facilities.
Joining the consortium prior to opening enables College Court to benefit from the group’s marketing efforts and activities, providing customers with a single route to booking one of our nationwide venues, with consistent quality standards.
Anthony Lishman, Executive Director of Conference Centres of Excellence said “We are excited to be welcoming College Court within membership, and having spent considerable time working together reviewing the project, level of investment, architect plans and quality commitments we are confident that they will meet and exceed our strict criteria for quality standards in membership. Following a recent hard-hat tour, our expectations have been confirmed and College Court looks set to provide an excellent addition to our group of specialist venues.”
Conference Centres of Excellence has been working with specialist venues in the meetings, training and events industry for 21 years, and its 32 members include many of the country’s best known specialist venues, covering a geographical area extending from the South East of England, to Scotland. Before joining, venues have to meet stringent criteria in terms of facilities, accommodation and customer care.
Centre Director of College Court, Steve Crawford is no stranger to the group’s quality standards, being a previous Chair (during 2009 - 2011) and also Head of the Quality Group for Conference Centres of Excellence.
Steve commented: “I am delighted that College Court has been accepted into membership of CCE. As both businesses have the customer, quality and dedicated professional teams at the heart of all that we do. Joining CCE will provide a welcome boost to our pre-opening drive and will be wonderful to be working again with like- minded professionals.”
