Conference Venues for Training
Another interesting article from M&T magazine – Training Budgets!
Training budgets are the first to be cut in a recession or when times get tough, but there is new legislation. From April, employees in businesses employing 250 or more will have the right to “ask for training”. If the employer cannot provide a sound business reason why not and refuses to provide it, staff can pursue them through the courts to seek damages.
From April 2011 the law will apply to all companies.
So don’t throw away your corporate training programme, get in touch with us and we will help you plan, organise and find the right training venue to suit your needs and budget. Give us a call now 01829 770301.

Check if your venue has BS 8901
BS 8901 is the British Standard for Sustainable Event Management and is now becoming very relevant to the many important environmental issues that venues should be addressing.
It covers the following:
- Event Organisers or individuals involved in overall co-ordination of the event.
- Event venues including hotels, convention centres and sports venues.
- Suppliers and contractors of key activities relating to the events industry.
- Industry associations and councils.
BS 8901 also offers the following commercial benefits:
- Provides assurance to stakeholders, customers and anyone else involved that the event has been planned and implemented in a sustainable manner.
- Helps differentiate an organisation from its compeitors, helping to win new business, improving reputation and brand image.
- Helps reduce carbon emissions and waste and improve resource efficiency of the entire event supply chain.
So when booking a venue, ask what their environmental policy is and lets help educate others.
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.
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!
