Wyboston Lakes Executive and Training Centres Assessed as "Green Healthcare Venue"

October 30th, 2015

Wyboston Lakes Executive and Training Centres are pleased to announce that they have recently become a “Green” Healthcare Venue, the only one in the Bedford area in the expanding Healthcare–Venues.com portfolio. This is following a rigorous assessment of their two standalone venues, facilities and services by the independent healthcare consultants Compliant Venues Ltd, confirming their suitability to host healthcare meetings and events.

The Healthcare Venues directory is a solution created and promoted by Compliant Venues Ltd and is a directory comprising of venues that have progressed through the audit, assessment and training solution they provide. The assessment solution has been developed to assist venues to understand and work more effectively with the healthcare sector, ensuring they can match the meetings and event compliance aims of transparency and appropriateness outlined by strict regulations across the sector.

Caroline Hill of Compliant Venues Ltd says “we are delighted that Wyboston Lakes Executive and Training Centres have joined our Healthcare Venues directory. We were extremely impressed by the quality and extent of facilities suitable for healthcare meetings and look forward to working with them moving forward.”

The assessment solution also includes key venue staff taking a compliance training programme teaching them about the Healthcare sector, industry regulators and the scope of regulatory codes as they relate to meetings and events. The course also provides tangible practical skills to integrate into everyday venue operations to enhance and support healthcare enquiries and meetings.

Having undertaken the training, Karen Evans, Commercial Director and Tony Knox, Business Development Manager are now considered Venue Healthcare Champions. Karen says,

“We are very proud to be joining a select number of venues in the Healthcare Venue directory and are now better positioned to demonstrate our knowledge and understanding of what is a challenging but important sector. This also underlines our ability to provide healthcare clients our excellent facilities in a controlled environment”.

Whilst Wyboston Lakes has been established for many years as the UK’s largest privately owned single site specialist conference and training venue, the quality of its facilities and overall services has been recently enhanced through a comprehensive £3.5 million investment programme.

Its two residential conference and training venues, the Wyboston Lakes Executive Centre and the Wyboston Lakes Training Centre, have received significant investment to enable the company to offer an exceptionally wide choice of dedicated facilities, services and delegate packages for conferences, meetings and training events. Becoming a Healthcare Venue underlines the commitment to continual improvement.

This investment and such initiatives as becoming a Healthcare Venue, are supported through strong team morale which has led to Wyboston Lakes achieving 35th position in this year’s The Sunday Times ‘Best Companies to work for’ List. This is the second year that Wyboston Lakes has ranked in the top 100, this year moving from 69th to 35th place.
