Meeting Venues of the Future from Sundial Group

May 14, 2010 - PRLog -- James Bland of Sundial Group, which is one of the UK’s leading specialist conference venue providers, is looking to the future in a different way; when asked last year to speak about “What will our customers want in 2015?” at the International Association of Conference Centres’ (IACC) Global Summit in Denmark, James and a group of meetings industry colleagues decided to pay tribute to the famous “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” when brainstorming an answer, but unfortunately fell one short!  You can read about his efforts on Sundial’s website and IACC’s blog.

Of course, nobody can predict the future; but the dedicated team at the incredible Sundial Group meeting venues nonetheless is determined to adopt those habits and remain “connected”, “inspirational”, “green”, “flexible”, “talented” and “secure” over the next five years and further in order to provide conference services of the highest decree.

Sundial Group already have already formed strong relationships with staff, suppliers and the neighbourhoods surrounding their stunning midlands meeting venues and will continue to form honest and long relationships with customers and competitors.  The team behind the Sundial Group scenes will stay abreast of industrial developments thanks to the ties with associations and forums; staying connected of course through the web, but more importantly- in person.

Inspiration is the key to being able to provide exciting, different and high quality meeting venues. Keeping a variety of activities available at conference venues along with ensuring the latest technology and design is on hand will help to inspire those who organise frequent conferences and meetings. James Bland says “The key to the inspirational business, of course is the inspirational team and suppliers, and Sundial Group will continue to work alongside innovative, pro-active and hard working team members to bring customers to ultimate meeting venues”.

A national concern for the future is a green future; and Sundial Group pledge to cut consumption and waste at all their locations. Crucial to this commitment is Sundial’s attitude to food.  With venues based in the Midlands and the South East; the kitchen teams use local produce, including seasonal food, to produce menus with variety and quality. “The chefs at Sundial Group have proven their outstanding capabilities time and time again; and allowing them to experiment with local delicacies will not only benefit the consumer’s taste buds, but the community too”

Business rarely runs smoothly, and Sundial Group is determined to be a flexible business for consumers “we will sell what people want to buy”. Sundial Group can arrange a meeting room for outside office hours during busy periods, and are happy to extend conferences during quieter periods.  This innovative thinking is thanks to the demanding customers of Sundial Group “we welcome demanding customers; you can build strong future relationships when welcoming those who have very clear ideas of what they want from a meeting venue”

The talent at Sundial Group not only takes place in the kitchen and at the drawing board, the entire team at the UK meeting venues are exceptionally good at their jobs and Sundial is determined to continue to hire exceptionally skilled people; those who not only offer the skills on paper, but have the right hospitable, professional and friendly attitude currently offered by the Sundial Group staff. “Sundial Group is always open to those who are willing to learn, training is essential and keen learners can go far in the hospitality business”.

Finally, an outstanding meeting venue will not only make customers feel comfortable, but secure. Set in private, intimate countryside locations, Sundial Venues already guarantee a secure environment in which meetings and conferences can be held without disturbances or the invasion of privacy.
