Awards and Gold Standard Accreditations for Conference Centres of Excellence members

Conference Centres of Excellence members have won further acclaim in the VenueVerdict Awards 2013 – the only industry awards programme to be based entirely on the voice of the customer. 

The awards and accreditations provide a comprehensive measure of service standards based entirely on the voice of real customers, and this year's results are based on 22,000 individual responses from event planners across a pool of over 360 participating venues.

EEF Venues, whose three conference venues Woodland Grange, Engineers House and Broadway House are all long-standing Conference Centres of Excellence members, have been named ‘No 1 Small Group’ and ‘Best Value for Money Group’ in the Awards.

All three venues have also gained Gold Standard Accreditation again in the VenueVerdict programme, proving consistently excellent quality standards.

Conference Centres of Excellence is the only marketing consortium to adopt and promote BDRC Continental’s VenueVerdict as the benchmark for its ongoing quality assurance. 

A further four Conference Centres of Excellence member venues have also achieved the highest level BDRC Continental VenueVerdict Gold Standard Accreditation at the end of 2013:

• Maple House, Birmingham

• Farncombe Conference Centre, Cotswolds

• The Manor House, Surrey

• The Møller Centre, Cambridge

Anthony Lishman, Executive Director of Conference Centres of Excellence commented: 

“All our members consistently strive to maintain the highest possible quality standards in the meetings, training and events industry, and this is an excellent example of how important it is for us to provide an exceptional experience for our customers, who recognise the importance of using specialist venues. There’s no better endorsement than that from independently monitored customer feedback and we are delighted at the consistent quality standards our venues achieve. ”
