Keele University Events and Conferencing are celebrating after beating competitors from across the country to win a major national tourism award.
The team received the Gold award for Business Events Venue of the Year at VisitEngland’s prestigious Awards for Excellence, after judges evaluated dozens of entries from across the country.
Held each year, the awards champion the very best of the country’s tourism industry – celebrating quality, innovation and customer service.
Emma Woodcock, Head of Catering and Events at Keele University, said: “I am so unbelievably proud of the entire catering and events teams here at Keele for this outstanding achievement. There are thousands of business event venues up and down the country and to be recognised that Keele University is the best venue nationally is nothing short of amazing.
“As a team, we pride ourselves on delivering seamless events and conferences, with customer service and sustainability at the heart of everything we do. However, this achievement wouldn’t have been possible without all the support we receive daily from colleagues across the wider university, especially those within the Estates and Campus Services directorate – this award is an entire university achievement.”
