Leading London dedicated Meeting, Conference and Event operator Cavendish Venues has announced two landmark milestones in signing a brand-new City venue at The Minster Building and the launch of their bold new website.

‍

The Minster Building is Cavendish Venues fourth Central London venue, due to open in September 2024. The space can accommodate up to 350 guests in theatre style. The venue has natural light and benefits from five-metre floor-to-ceiling heights. The venue will come with Cavendish Venues’ full in-house catering and integrated AV technology offer supported by on-site AV engineers.

A new website update is part of a comprehensive rebranding strategy, which management says, reflects the company’s growth and commitment to delivering exceptional, London event experiences in the evolving post-pandemic landscape.

‍

Tom Mayers founded Cavendish Venues in 1995, and Elliott Sparsis has now joined as the new CEO, as the business moves into a period of considered growth, based on the shift in growing demand in London for adaptable, well-priced meeting spaces. “Signing The Minster Building and launching our new website reflects our commitment to the London event sector and progressive approach to delivering cost-effective solutions for our valued clients,” Spasis, who previously spent five years at Convene building their UK platform and six years at US Private Equity firm Blackstone, tells CN.

Reducing Food Waste in the Meeting & Event sector

There are a lot of organisations based in London and the surrounding areas aimed at preventing food wastage. Green Oak Solutions estimates that an astonishing 15 million tonnes of food waste is generated every year, including 7.2 million tonnes from households. Here at Cavendish Venues we continue to build our position as London’s leading sustainable conference and meeting venues. We are looking at how we can reduce food waste within our company by donating to local homeless shelters and food cycle organisations.Food Cycle gives people in local communities’ access to nutritious food that they would otherwise be unable to obtain for reasons such as lack of income or knowledge of healthy nutrition. Surplus packaged or tinned foods from supermarkets combined with free kitchen space and volunteers keep the organisation growing.Crisis is a charity that aims to help homeless people across the UK. It provides housing, education, employment and food to those who need it. Due to health and safety regulations Crisis is unable to accept food donations that are not packaged, tinned or contained with a sell by date.Bio Collectors is a waste food service that collects food from your select location and takes it to a special processing plant where it is treated and used for horticultural purposes, a highly valuable addition to fertilisers. With the health and safety regulations restraining our ability to donate certain excess food, recycling our waste would be an environmentally beneficial option that will help to improve our Green Conference policies.

Going vegetarian – with benefits

Another way to take the heat out of inflation, is to take the meat out of your diet. Choose a conference venue vegetarian-only delegate rate and we will not charge any increase – but this isn’t just about saving the pennies.
