Think ‘outside the box’ for your next meeting

Forget the mundane meeting rooms next time you need meeting space and start thinking outside the box to get the most productive meetings for your business.

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

It is a proven fact that creativity flows when delegates and employees are inspired and engaged in a more conducive setting, whether that’s a small meeting with colleagues or a catch up with suppliers.

People rely on places and rooms they already know and don’t widen the net when looking for what could actually be a more suitable venue.

There are a number of venues that can offer such alternatives and here at Bolton Whites Hotel, we get commended for the pitch side meeting rooms on offer where attendees get a sense of ‘being outdoors’.

In the past, there’s been an air of hushed seriousness and opaqueness attached to the image of the conference or meeting room. The glass walls looking onto the pitch provide the sought-after transparency and the abundance of natural daylight means inspiration is never hard to come by.

Think privacy and seclusion in ‘a room with a view’ where conversations naturally flow and you avoid the distracting noise pollution you otherwise get.
