A Brief History Of A Green Conference Venue

As the saying goes all good things come to those who wait

, we at Cavendish Conference Venues are delighted that this came to fruition in 2009. Our company has been in existence for over 14 years, it all began with the Mayfair Conference Centre this was joined by the Cavendish Conference Centre and grew further with the addition of the International Coffee Organisation, America Square Conference Centre and finally the Hallam Conference Centre in January 2009.

From the beginning and long before it was popular we have ingrained in our culture a Green Agenda of recycling, sustainability and the use of both locally sourced products and those where possible that are fairly traded. Over the years this has become a passion and has influenced everything from our choice of stationary, lighting, toiletries to our corporate gifts. Long before it was popular the water that we supplied complimentary at all of our events was filtered water while others were charging for bottles designer waters many from obscure locations that could apply for frequent flier rewards the distance travelled was so great.

Many of these initiatives have been copied over the years by both competitors and clients alike, rather than frown we applaud. We are in the Conference and Meeting Industry Sector unusual being that we are both small with only 5 venues and independently owned. When it comes to awards celebrating achievements regarding sustainability the competition is fierce, however on the 5th November 2009 at the Visit London Awards at Westfield we took the top position to take the Gold in the Green Achiever Category. For this award we were up against Excel and the Cavendish Hotel so we were in good company.

The award takes pride of place at the Hallam Conference Centre but it is but a milestone of our achievements thus far, to quote our favourite poet there are though miles to go before I sleep, miles to go before I sleep.

What we do: In a nutshell we provide conference rooms for up to 250 delegates, meeting rooms for as few as 2 delegates, and a full gambit of services on the side, these cover the full gambit of audio visual services (webcasting, video conferencing and the like) and on to whacky world of catering, (we are proud of chefs who can whip up a menu with guaranteed 100% UK sourced ingredients etc. Finally and of vital importance we are local, with 5 central London conference centres, we are within a hop and skip of so many of our clients.
