Q: What gives your life meaning?

Truly London’s leading venues for high Tec conferences, webcasting and organic, as the golfer might say hole in one.

 Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much for all your help with our event yesterday.  It went really well but from my part that was mainly due to how helpful your venue staff were on the day.

 Nothing was too much trouble and they were constantly checking to ask if everything was OK and if we needed anything.  As for lunch – well you have set a precedent as I am sure our delegates at future events will expect the same high standard.

 Please pass on my thanks to everyone who helped out – especially yourself and Olga.

 Can you please ensure that you send me over the bank details so that on receipt of the invoice I can ensure it is paid immediately.

 Thank you again.

We had another great meeting at America Square, you never let us down. The room layout was as we wanted, teas and coffees were served at the correct times and members of staff were on hand to make sure we had everything we needed. We will be needing another meeting room in June so I will be calling Olga in the New Year to arrange this and another meeting for December 2012.

 A big thank you for enabling our event to run so smoothly.

Best Regards

 A Delicate Matter

 I hesitate to address this subject, but it has been troubling me for some time. 

 CCV SW Office Representative, with whom I share a home,  has the most unfortunate habit of picking up my poo in a plastic bag.  Well, really, what can I say?   The look I give her …….  Sometimes I feel quite embarrassed being seen out with her.  

Is this  kind of person suitable for office life,  I ask myself?   There is no knowing what she might do next.     Heaven knows what other dark habits she may be hiding ….. and to think, sometimes she leaves me behind in the SW office to travel  for operational duties at the hub of Cavendish Conference Venues in London.   (Incidentally, I protest about  these visits long and hard).     I think the wisdom of allowing her to set foot in the illustrious venues is something that the Big Boss and his fellow directors should think seriously about.    Is it prudent to allow someone like this to  interface with conference organisers and delegates?

Mind you,  they do say that the tone of an organisation is set at the top, and perhaps SW Rep is trying to emulate the Big Boss.     I heard her  regaling one of her (few) friends with an account of the time when Big Boss was walking his children to school along Holland Park Avenue, accompanied by his charming dog, Santa, when Santa did a poo on the pavement.  Finding himself without a plastic bag,  Tom whipped off his sock and scooped up the poo in it.  He would have walked away from it, he said, but for the fact that he was being observed by the mother of one of his children’s classmates.  The SW Rep says that Tom clearly displayed here exactly the kind of lateral problem-solving thinking that demonstrates why he is the Boss of a thriving Conference Centre Empire, and she is merely a humble regional employee.

PS.  I’m glad to report that Tom did not put his sock back on again.

PPS.  Sometimes I think that I should look for a more desirable home.   Any offers?

PPPS.   I’m told that I look rather fetching in my new red waterproof/windproof jacket, and will soon be posting a photo of myself wearing said jacket (well, just as soon as SW Rep works out the technology to do so).    Watch this space!    Big Boss has instructed SW Rep to get the CCV Logo printed on it.

The wining board

No 1 for Social Media

As relationships are digitalised and then moneterised by the supermen of Facebook and its acolytes a venue is needed for the rare occasions when these immortals touch down on the real world. From the bonfire of old world industries a sphinx rises and behold its name is Cavendish Conference Venues the No 1 London meeting spot for all things digital. Don’t just take our word for it the facts speak for themselves, in the last week along we have hosted major events on subjects like  Social Recruiting Conference or ‘Where brands, agencies, developers and investors come together to leverage gaming technologies’ that’s just in a week.  This meeting of supermen and cavemen throws up amazing responses in things like our customer feedback surveys. Today I was told that when webcasting an event our water bottles when placed on a lectern looked like they were dripping out of someone’s nose! Anyway here is a picture of 200 bloggers and social engineers enjoying the fruits of their labours.

Yes we have a conference on, quite strange for the City, which is like a ghost town on Saturdays.  We are very lucky it is Valeria, Catering Managers birthday – yes she shares it with the Queen, only she is many decades younger – so our wonderful Chef Mustafa has made her a most scrumptious cake, which we along with the conference organises today are tucking into, with a nice cup of tea .   

We have had many compliments about the food today; the mushroom risotto was outstanding as indeed were all the Salads. 

To be honest it is rewarding working a Saturday, as without the phones one can get loads of work done and do all that filing that piles up and up and never seems to move very far.

 Please reember we give discounted rates for any weekend events at our centres. so keep teh enquires coming

So until the next time……..

P.S. So glad Murray has won, just hoping Ward can follow suit – don’t let the boss know I had the TV on when I should be working
