Cavendish Venues win Best Venue for Customer Service at the Conference and Venue Supplier Awards on 7^th June, in front of nearly 700 of their peers, beating the likes of etc venues and The Royal College of Physicians. The awards were judged by 8 highly experienced London based professional organisers, their comments were "I think this is a superb venue and full of innovation, being the first for zero landfill"

The testimonials are strong, and broad, and with 91% staff retention it is clear their staff like working there. For CS, a call from the MD is a nice touch, and the fact their turnover is up 18%, in a tough market, is exceptional. "This venue is really moving with the times and giving customers exactly what they need. They deliver on customer satisfaction. The work they are doing around their green initiatives and audio visual services is very impressive. They demonstrate they go above and beyond to enhance the customer experience."

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.
