The owners of leading Buckinghamshire conference centre, Lane End, are toasting the success of a unique scheme which supports young people to go to college or university.

Lane End Conference Centre celebrates its 50^th anniversary this year, long enough to have witnessed some significant changes in how the industry operates.

Site Director, and now European board member of the International Association of Conference Centres, Heni Fourie has been overseeing Lane End for over a decade. He shares some of his knowledge of Lane End, and offers up some insights on the fast-paced nature of the industry.

Hotels, sports centres, cinemas and even zoos offer conference space for hire. Whilst it may be tempting to opt for the unusual in a bid to sell the conference to your delegates, purpose-built conference centres provide the optimum learning environment in a dedicated, distraction-free zone.

I just wanted to say a huge  thank you to you  and your team for Friday, please pass on our thanks to all involved. The conference went really well and all the delegates had a good and positive experience. Do take care and hope to see you next year. 
 

Company meetings can be incredibly productive and an ample opportunity for teams to come together to plan strategy, organise events or set goals and objectives. However, they can also be the source of great unproductivity and used as an opportunity for staff to catch up on what they watched on T.V. the night before or have shallow discussions about the same old subjects.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve started Lane End Conference Centre’s 50th year in business on a high. 

Returning to work after the festive period can be a frustrating experience for both business owner and employee. Several weeks spent away from the desk can lead to a lack of motivation and desire to perform as workers contemplate the prospect of a dark gloomy January in front of a screen.

Workplace training should be embedded into any business that wants to thrive. With continually changing technology and increasingly competitive markets, training your staff to become more adaptable to change will only benefit your business. So, what is the true cost of not training your staff?
