Warwick Conferences named Business Events Venue of the Year at West Midlands Tourism Awards

The team at Warwick Conferences are celebrating after being named Business Events Venue of the Year at the West Midlands Tourism Awards last night.

The leading conference centre was honoured at the awards ceremony, hosted by the West Midlands Growth Company (WMGC) – the region’s destination marketing agency. Now in its fourth year, the awards recognise and celebrate the best of the best in hospitality and tourism businesses across the region. Additionally, as a result of Warwick Conferences’ achievement at these awards, it has automatically been entered into the annual Visit England Awards for Excellence, where the team will have the opportunity to be recognised at a national level.

Being named Business Events Venue of the Year, recognises Warwick Conferences’ excellent understanding of the market, exceptional customer service and commitment to innovation through its strategic plan and future growth ambitions.

Located at the University of Warwick and operating four conference, meeting and events venues, over the last 12 months the team has successfully delivered a wide range of events including the British Transplant Games and the International Children’s Games. Another significant achievement for Warwick Conferences in 2023 was gaining ECOsmart Platinum status from Greengage Solutions for its various sustainability initiatives – outlined in Warwick Conferences’ Sustainability Roadmap – as the venue aims to achieve net zero emissions targets by 2030.

Reflecting on their award win, Paul Bartlett, Director of Conferences at Warwick Conferences, said:

“We’re delighted to have been named Business Events Venue of the Year at the West Midlands Tourism Awards. This is a huge achievement, and I am extremely proud of our entire team at Warwick Conferences who have helped make this possible. We pride ourselves on going the extra mile to make our clients conference experience a success, from the event logistics, to the food we serve and hospitality we provide. This award is testament to these great efforts.”
