Thank you to and HI Coventry and CP Solihull yesterday for our Valor update.

Great to revisit the meeting spaces at both hotels. Also good to hear the Valor updates on the other properties too across the UK 🇬🇧

We love catching up and hearing these updates so we can pass them onto our clients.

Thanks again and for the lovely 😻 lunch at CP Solihull.

If you’re interested in finding out more about either hotels or any of the hotels please get in touch.

Niki and Jacqui attended the Beam Spring All Members Meeting yesterday at The Cumberland Hotel. It was a fantastic turnout and an insightful session all round.

It was particularly valuable to hear about wider industry trends—many of which closely reflect our own experiences, even in what continues to be an unsettled market. The panel Q&A explored some of the key challenges facing the industry today, followed by an energising drum session that brought great energy to the room.

There was a thoughtful discussion on talent retention—an increasingly important topic for us all—before the day concluded with an engaging session on personal brand development.

A great opportunity to connect, learn, and reflect.

It’s National Tea Day in the UK! How do you drink yours? We’ve asked our team…..
Niki - prefers her tea peppermint
Karen - the stronger the better, think builders tea but stronger - she leaves the teabag in!
Melissa - milk with one sugar
Jacqui - urgh, no thanks - pass her the coffee!

The right selection of beverages can elevate any event - we ensure you have a great range, no matter the venue.

It’s the little details!

Niki spent the day at The BNC Show yesterday…..

“It was great to catch up with clients and our venue contacts too. I love seeing how enthusiastic people are for face to face contact. In such busy times, and more hybrid ways of working is hard to get that high touch in person time and that for me is so important. We are The Conference People and our business is about our relationships with people - our customers and our venue contacts.”

Niki got some great refurb updates too - which we’ll be sharing over the next few days - keep your 👀 peeled!

International Women’s Day 2026

We’re celebrating the women who inspire us in our lives whether family, friends or those publicly we admire in different fields of life.

Being a close knit team like we are, the support, motivation, kindness and care we give each other in and out of work is amazing.

Of course there’s an ample amount of mickey taking too! Lots of chat about drying washing, new appliances, menopause, and the usual life dramas!
