NETWORK HOUSE BIRMINGHAM IN THE current tough economic climate people are looking for value for money and excellent customer service. Events and conference centre Network House Birmingham is proud to offer both. Events and Conference Centre “Our rates are intentionally more competitive than other city centre venues and, combined with our experience and attention to detail, we are winning new business every month and clients are returning to us multiple times and making us their preferred venue,” states Rosie. Organisations designating Network House Birmingham as their venue of choice for training events and conferences include, national charities, departments in Birmingham City Council and the NHS, media and arts establishments as well as representatives from the commercial sector. But Rosie is not content for the company to rest on its laurels and plans to continue to grow the business and, thus, help even more people back to work. “We aim to host more events, hire, develop and train more staff and, if necessary, we would look at expanding to another venue,” she says. But that’s not all - as a social enterprise, it’s also proving a powerful tool in helping people back into the workplace. “We are able to offer employment to people who have been out of work for a season or who want to learn new skills to be able to re-engage with the employment market,” explains conference manager Rosie McNeil. “We also put money back into the local area through investing particularly in charities working with young and disadvantaged people.” “We are also in conversation with a local charity to look at working in partnership together to provide training for young people who are not in education employment or training.” For further information about Network House and how it can host your conference or event, visit www.networkhousebirmingham.com telephone 0121 666 6466 or 07768540433 or email: rosie@networkhousebirmingham.com Network House Birmingham was launched in 2009 and Rosie came to the post having gained 15 years’ extensive experience of leading and organising events for third sector organisations in other venues. Based in Digbeth, Birmingham, Network House is a mid-size conference venue offering meeting rooms for events from four to 200 delegates, with excellent customer service and fully inclusive rates. The catering is pretty good too. “Clients regularly comment on how delicious and fresh it is and our desserts have recently been described as ‘the best cakes of any conference venue in the UK’,” smiles Rosie. “We offer a conference planning service with an event host on the day and full technical and media support for all events to ensure that everything runs smoothly.
