Awards

Conference Centres of Excellence announced the winners of its first-ever awards at the consortium’s recent annual conference at the Wyboston Lakes Executive Centre. The awards recognised excellence from within the CCE membership, and also in three categories for non-members.

The Best Conference Booking Agency was Trinity Event Solutions, which is based in Stamford. The company was described as demonstrating "the ability to be a strategic partner" and as "particularly effective at engaging with the venue team so they have a good understanding of how their business works."

Katy Flynn, Account Director, received the award for Trinity and said: "This award recognises the dedication and professionalism of our whole team. It is great testament to receive appreciation from within our industry for the work that we put in to building relationships with conference venues."

Submissions were invited from all members of the consortium, which is the UK’s leading group of specialist conference and training venues and has thirty six members. The judging panel comprised industry experts Tony Rogers, Anna Clover and Tim Chudley, and was chaired by CCE executive director Anthony Lishman who commented: "The awards help to strengthen the competitiveness of member venues, which must be good for their customers – and they also enable members to give a pat on the back to organisations that are impressing them."
