21 ways of recognising excellence


With Conference Centres of Excellence celebrating their 21st anniversary this membership year, Farncombe Conference Centre examines the significance of the number 21 and what it means to us.

It may have something to do with our impressive tally of awards under our belt. Since 2006, the Conference Centre has accumulated an impressive 21 awards, all accrediting the Centre for its excellent service, facilities and idyllic country-side location.

2012 saw Farncombe Conference Centre named as the country’s best Business Tourism venue by industry experts VisitEngland. With a record number of applicants, it was an honour to be so highly regarded among numerous different venues and to obtain national recognition.

One of these many awards includes the Green Tourism Gold award, which recognises our continued sustainable development policies such as our installation of solar panels and electric car charging point.

Other awards include our Venue Verdict Gold award which we have consistently earned every year since the industry standard was launched in 2009. This is particularly important to us as it is based on customer feedback.

As Farncombe Conference Centre gets older we are sure these awards and recognitions will continue to grow! They are a testament to the dedication of our staff and our commitment to excellence.
