Make your next event a match winner

Choosing a venue for any business meeting, corporate event or conference is always difficult as there are so many factors to be taken into consideration.

By Carl D'Arcy, national sales manager, Bolton Whites Hotel.

The anomalies between venues can be stark and that is why one of my biggest pieces of advice is to consider a venue which has its own top in-house team of preferred suppliers. It may sound odd, but believe me, not all venues do and this can lead to disastrous events where delegates and bookers are left bewildered in the aftermath.

Not only because of their reliability and proven track record, as you will have used them many times before, but at Bolton Whites Hotel it is because of the enhanced knowledge that they have of our unique venue along with its range of capabilities, which as a result allows for great results to be achieved.

Finally, long running associations with suppliers also allows you to develop a high level of trust and this forms the basis for a great working relationship, between both the supplier’s team and your own. This certainly makes for a much better working environment and encourages client retention, again due to solid foundations and strong partnerships between everyone involved as they experience a seamless event.
