EC&O Venues is proud to announce it has been short-listed for four Visit London Awards. Earls Court has been nominated for the Business Venue of the Year award, the Olympia Conference Centre Team is up for the award for Outstanding Customer Service and EC&O Venues has been selected for the Sustainable Tourism Award.
A further three events held at EC&O Venues have also been nominated in the Business Event of the Year category – the BRIT Awards, the M&S Annual Conference and Confex ’07 giving the venue a grand total of four nominations for 2007.
Anna Golden, Event Sales Director said: “This is fantastic news and shows how EC&O Venues is being recognised for all the hard work and dedication that goes into our business. Earls Court and Olympia are iconic London attractions and the Visit London nominations demonstrate just how flexible our venues are with regards to the variety of exhibitions, conferences and special events we put on. Not only do we have great venue spaces, but we pride ourselves on our level of customer service and our commitment to sustainability and the environment – an area that is rapidly moving up the business agenda and increasingly becoming a factor for organisers when choosing a venue to host their event.”
The Visit London Awards 2007 ceremony will be held on Thursday 29th November. There are 15 categories in total which are judged by a select panel apart from Business Venue of the Year and the Business Event of the Year which are open to a public vote online.
