‘Coffee mornings’ on the menu at Chartridge venues

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 28, 2009 – Chartridge Conference Company have introduced the concept of a ‘Business Coffee Morning’ at all its five dedicated conference venues. Far removed from the traditional social gatherings of genteel ladies from the village, it provides the opportunity for small business groups to hold impromptu meetings in the lounges and general quiet areas. Whether it be for management meetings, sales reviews or marketing brainstorms, for a nominal charge, visitors can benefit from the peaceful environment and have access to the business centres, free Wi-Fi and enjoy unlimited supplies of teas and coffees. It means small groups can hold meetings in an atmosphere that is conducive to effective business without the need to hire a specific meeting room.

With the current economic downturn still affecting business budgets, hiring a meeting venue for a day or half day for management meetings has become a luxury that few can justify. Holding on-site meetings may cut costs, but one of the principal reasons for getting out of the office is a peaceful environment and freedom from constant interruptions, phone calls and distractions.

Peter Darnell, managing director of CCC commented, “I know from my own experience, holding meetings away from the office and the phone really does help focus the mind. We have developed this product as a very cost effective way to help local business people take advantage of the environment and facilities we have to offer at all our venues. There’s no need to book, so if a meeting is needed at short notice, customers can just turn up, check in and get straight into business mode.”
