Volcanic Ash affects events

I have just read that the airspace lockdowns triggered by volcanic ash from Iceland led to the cancellation or deferment of two thirds of events planned during the affected days.

So why go abroad to talk?   This is made even worse by the strike at British Airways – So what is wrong with GB Ltd?

Christmas Parties

Now is the time to start planning and talking about your staff Christmas Party – How about getting a budget sorted out now and reward your staff and clients with a real night out and it won’t cost and arm and a leg – In fact it is a good investment – you might find your staff are willing to pitch in as well!

Election Fever

Whoever wins the election, lets hope that they sort out the economy, so that we can all get on with our business.

We all need to explore the best way to fully utilise our resources – The most important one being human resources and as such we need to encourage them to perform through example and training.

A company has recently come to us to organise a series of training courses, as they in expansion mode, as such we have found venues from Brighton to Chester and managed to negotiate some great delegate rates all within their budget.

So don’t be put off by the election – call us to organise your events, meetings and conferences all free of charge, to motivate and train your staff and we will take the hasle out of event planning and venue finding.

Event planning for Christmas now!

I read a great article/letter of the month in M&IT magazine recently talking about Christmas events – it read:

The Chartered Management Institute’s survey, revealed that UK employers were too afraid to have a Christmas party because public perception, demonstrates the weaselly attitude of most managers.   Rather than praise and reward staff on a regular basis, they prefer to take the ‘easy’ option of saying ‘because of public opinion, we dare not’.  Whilst this might hold water for banks & MPs, it should not apply to the rest of the UK workforce – YES to that.

Conferences planners, free venue finders, conference organisers, event management and teambuilding activities is what we do – Can we help you?

Just completed 2,050 Conferences and Events

Phew!! Having just reached the 2,050 threshold mark for the number of conferences and events Venue Plus has organised over the years – It is time for a little celebration – Right that’s enough, back to work!!

I have no idea how many delegates that represents – a bit daunting really and indeed how much our clients have spent with venues over that period – it must have helped the economy somewhere and indeed the taxman.

Anyway, everybody lets get going, keep your head down and lets get this country moving again, before depression sets in.  All we need is some sunshine and soon.

So, if you need any free help on conference planning and organising your event, however large or small, then don’t call 118 118, but our number – 0844 567 6405.

Working closely with the Public Sector.

Venue Plus have been working very closely with the public sector over the past few years, in helping them organise their conferences, meetings or other events and providing a free venue search all over the UK.         As conference organisers and venue finders, we are given by various hotel companies not only corporate rates but special government rates, which are applicable to the public sector.      So in order to make sure, during these difficult times, that you are being offered these rates – contact us on freephone 0844 567 6405 to discuss your requirements for training, networking or for any event that you might be planning.

Think early for your 2010 meeting or event.

Now is the time to start thinking about your next event or conference for 2010.       How about getting your team together and organise an “out of the office day”  to start the new year and get them fully motivated for a hard year ahead.    Perhaps combine it with some teambuilding activities – that should clear away the cobwebs!!

Anyway a Merry Christmas to all.
