Slow smelly and sure
November 17th, 2009
Slow smelly and sure is the story of our recycling. In October 09 we recycled / composted a massive 390kg of food waste. Double through the other items recycled we saved the equivalent of 17 trees, via the food composting we provided the compost for 17 more trees. Feel good about yourself come and smell the good air at the Cavendish.

First for social networking events
November 5th, 2009
We have invested loads (money / thought the lot) to make our venues the first choice for social networking events. For starters not just dedicated rooms but whole venues with guaranteed exclusive access for just one client. Added to this high speed leased lines for your webcasts / podcasts and wireless. The final tool in the box is loads of extra power points for all those laptops. Any comments about what else we can add would be greatly appreciated. thanks

BUY LOCAL INITIATIVE
November 3rd, 2009
It seems that every time you open a newspaper there is a story of impending environmental calamity, Kilimanjaro is melting, Greenland is becoming a potatoe field. Now is the time for the fightback, lead as ever by that most courageous of industries the conference business. Our newest innovation, the full traceabilty menu. We at Cavendish Conference Venues believe absolutely in the concept of environmentally sustainable venues. A key part of this is the sustainability of our supplier chain, the food we eat and offer our delegates is a key part of this. Following on from the spate of scandals around the British meat industry our first efforts were here. After a rigorous selection process we now source all meat from a single farm in Kent (Wells Farm) delivering the twin benefits of always knowing where are meat comes from and significantly reducing the travel costs of the product (previously much of the meat came from Scotland). Now we have built on this, we are the first uk conference centre who can offer menus using only UK grown and produced produce. We are now looking to build on this BUY LOCAL INITIATIVE by modifying our purchasing policy to make the locality of production a key determinant in all purchasing decisions. If you are a planning to organize a conference and want to support our BUY LOCAL INITIATIVE call and ask for one of our new UK sourced menus.
