£150 Annual Tax Allowance
It’s not too late to organise your Christmas Party and as I have just read in the paper, businesses have an annual tax allowance of £150, which can be put against entertainment or basically looking after your staff.
So really you can’t loose and I don’t think everybody knows about this, as a client of ours has just cancelled their Christmas party, but still had to pay 45% of the costs, so really they lost out financially, but I do understand the internal politics of a company, redundancy issues etc.
Anyway, if you need help with your corporate event or party, then let us know.
Conference Venues in London with low carbon policy?
We have been asked to research and find a conference venue in London for about 200 delegates with workshops and exhibition space, that have a low carbon usuage environmental policy.
This is a difficult one, as it seems that hotels and conference venues have yet to get to grips with this very important subject and having spoken to various venues in researching this, I find that no-one has a clue what their policy is or what is being done to reduce their carbon footprint, which will benefit all and save on costs.
If you have been to or know of any venue in London, that is able to offer a written statement or company policy and has put this into practise then let us know, so that we can pass this information on and start supporting them and the planet!
Conference Sector – No recovery in sight!
Hotels in the UK are not expecting to see conference and meetings business recover in the coming year, according to the latest UK Hotels Forecast from Pricewaterhousecoopers.
Despite this pessimistic forecast, now is still the time to organise a conference or event – It is usually the case in these difficult economic times to cut the training and sales budget, but you have still got to communicate to and motivate your staff, so why not take advantage of some very good conference rates and organise an event. So how about planning an event soon or let us hear your views on what’s happening in your organisation.
Which venues have you been to, that you would recommend to others?
