Treble Award Celebrations at Cotswold Conference Centre

21 September 2009

The team at Cotswold Conference Centre in Broadway are this week celebrating being shortlisted for three ‘Heart of England Excellence in Tourism’ awards. The annual contest is a celebration of the very best in tourism in the West Midlands and showcases the diverse and fantastic range of attractions, accommodation and tourism venues that the region has to offer.

The conference centre is a leading training venue for the Midlands and has been shortlisted as a finalist in the ‘Outstanding Customer Care Award’, ‘Sustainable Tourism Award’ and ‘Business Tourism – Best Conference Venue’ categories.

Assistant Manager Chris Catford “We heard about the Sustainability Award first and it was a huge thrill to be shortlisted as we have worked so hard to minimise our impact on the environment.” explained Assistant Manager, Chris Catford. “Then, a few weeks later we heard about being finalists in the Business Tourism Award – Best Conference Venue category so we are very excited about the black tie awards ceremony coming up next month. To be shortlisted personally for the Customer Care Award is a fantastic honour”.

A Gala Dinner and Award Ceremony will be held at the International Convention Centre, Broad Street Birmingham on the evening of Thursday October 29th.

Cotswold Conference Centre is the only Conference Centre of Excellence in the Cotswolds and the first Worcestershire based business to become a member of the Green Tourism Business Scheme.
