Home News Arenas and Conference Centres Lane End Conference Centre completes £200,000 refurbishment of The Pavilion

Category: Arenas and Conference Centres Created on Monday, 18 January 2016 12:15

A £200,000 refurbishment of Lane End Conference Centre’s The Pavilion has been completed and will host its first event this week.

The refurbishment has been part of £2.2million investment plan set in motion across the entire venue since 2012 which is due for completion later this year.

Other areas of development have included structural improvements to all meeting and training rooms as well as the creation of The Cedar Club, a brand new

leisure space, in August 2015.

Major developments in The Pavilion include:

- Completely re-modelled entrance including lift access and seating areas

- The bar has seen walls removed to create a more open space with an exposed staircase and open plan lounge and free-flowing coffee bar

- The main room has been re-decorated and refurbished providing a new capacity for up to 150 theatre and 84 cabaret style. Upgraded 8-hour conference chairs have also

been added to the space.

- The upstairs space has been completely remodelled to include three syndicate rooms with space for up to 18 boardroom style with wall-mounted plasma screens, flipcharts

and reliable Wi-Fi access

- A dining room that can seat up to 60 guests for a hot and cold buffet lunch, or up to 100 for a finger/fork buffet lunch. The dining room, which is based upstairs, makes The

Pavilion completely self-contained for meetings and conferences.

“The Pavilion has been a huge project as one of our most important event spaces here at Lane End,” comments Heni Fourie, Director of Sales & Marketing at Lane End

Conference Centre. “The Pavilion is a self-contained building that provides the perfect setting for meetings and conferences. Everything from a projector to name cards is

provided in the main conference room meaning all an organiser could possibly need is provided under one roof including catering. We’re excited to showcase the latest

developments here with a week-long training event already underway.”

Ongoing improvements include bedrooms in both Wycombe Lodge and Wycombe Court which are due to be completed in the summer of 2016 with more than £690,000

invested.

Lane End Conference Centre offers a unique modular design with five distinct and completely self-contained conference buildings – each offering bedrooms, meeting

facilities, bar, lounge and dining room – available for exclusive use.

Lodge Conference Room

Buckinghamshire-based Lane End Conference Centre has appointed

two new members of staff following the most financially successful

year in the venue’s 46-year history.

Lydia Kenny and Holly Picot both join Lane End as conference and

events executives. Kenny has past roles at Trinity College and Cliveden

House Hotel and Spa, while Picot’s previous experience includes roles

with Harrods, Selfridges and Cathay Pacific.

These appointments come off the back of Lane End’s best financial

results, ahead of the completion of a £2.2 million investment plan which

finishes in the summer.

Lane End posted an operating profit of £433k on a turnover of £3.8m

according to unaudited results for the year ending August 2015.

Heni Fourie, director of sales and marketing at Lane End Conference

Centre, said: “Strong financial figures tell its own story but recent

success can also be attributed to ongoing refurbishment.

“The fact that we are an independent venue enables us to freely invest

a considerable amount of our annual profit into refurbishment and

maintenance.”

Buckinghamshire-based Lane End Conference Centre has appointed two new members of staff following

the most financially successful year in the venue’s 46-year history.

Lydia Kenny and Holly Picot both join Lane End as conference and events executives with a focus on continuing the

venue’s proud history of successful events and strong client relationships. Lydia’s past roles include a marketing and

events officer position at Trinity College as well as Events and Reservations Consultant at Cliveden House Hotel and

Spa. Holly’s previous experience includes customer facing roles with Harrods, Selfridges and a coordinating role at

Cathay Pacific.

“Both Lydia and Holly have hit the ground running and settled into life at Lane End as if they had been working here for years,”

comments Heni Fourie, Director of Sales and Marketing at Lane End Conference Centre. “We have a very close-knit sales team but both have already proven to be

invaluable when it comes to customer service and events. They bring varied experience but ultimately a passion for this industry that will serve us well as we seek another

successful year.”

These appointments come quickly off the back of Lane End’s best financial results in its 46-year history and ahead of the completion of a £2.2million investment plan which

finishes in the summer.

Lydia Kenny, one of Lane End’s new employees, said: “The opportunity to work at Lane End and further my career in the events industry is something I am relishing. Already

I feel right at home and I cannot wait to help the venue make 2016 a successful year.”

“My role at Lane End will not only help me move forward with my own career, but it will undoubtedly help me grow personally too,” added Holly Picot. “It’s a different role to

what I have experienced in the past but already I am learning more about the industry and I cannot wait to see what 2016 holds for both myself and Lane End.”

Lane End Conference Centre offers a unique modular design with five distinct and completely self-contained conference buildings – each offering bedrooms, meeting

facilities, bar, lounge and dining room – available for exclusive use.
