CCT Venues opens a new London training, meeting and assessment centre
June 2006

Just over one year after opening their first London training and conference centre in Smithfield, CCT Venues is launching a new venue at the Barbican in the City of London.

CCT Venues-Barbican is being designed after extensive consultation with clients to provide space that's ideal for graduate programmes and assessment centres, as well as training, meetings and other event. It will include a range of facilities to meet the specific needs of clients organising large graduate training and assessment events, including a wide variety of room sizes, including plenty suitable for breakouts and syndicates and larger rooms accommodating up to 120 people theatre-style.

Likewise, to offer maximum flexibility, the venue also has moveable partitions enabling rooms to be enlarged or reduced as necessary, and clients have the option to hire their own exclusive floor.

Due to open on 10 July, CCT Venues - Barbican is in a new building, next to Barbican Tube and only a few minutes' walk from CCT Venues - Smithfield.

The building is currently being converted to a luxurious standard to offer ten bright, contemporary rooms over two floors, accommodating groups of 2 to 120. It also has a prestigious reception, floor to ceiling windows, individual temperature controls in all rooms, and a large top-floor café with panoramic views across London.

DDA compliant with good access and disabled toilet facilities on all floors, the venue will follow the same pricing model as CCT Venues - Smithfield - offering high quality facilities and services at rates significantly lower than the London average, including a Day Delegate Rate with lunch of £54.95 + VAT.

CCT Venues Managing Director Caroline Bull commented:

"We're very excited to be opening our second venue just over a year since the business launched. The combination we offer of value for money, superb facilities and flexible, dedicated service is proving very popular. In designing CCT Venues - Barbican, we've used our extensive experience of managing Graduate Programmes and Assessment events and consulted widely with clients to create a venue with the ideal facilities, layout and services these events require. This venue is going to be a fantastic addition to the London market."

"CCT Venues - Barbican is in a great location for The City and, as it's next to Barbican tube, it couldn't be more convenient. And we're currently extending our staff team, who will work across both venues. So as well as some new faces, clients will benefit from working with their existing contacts who really understand what it takes to make events a success."
