To celebrate the 20th Birthday of Sue Ryder - Thorpe Hall Hospice, staff at Trinity Conferences in Stamford decided to organise a sponsored 20k walk.

The aching feet were worth it, as the gruelling challenge raised more than £1,076 for the charity, with more still coming in.

Tracy Winsworth, the Finance Manager at Trinity Conferences, suggested the challenge to the Trinity team after reading about Thorpe Hall’s ‘Plenty for Twenty’ campaign - where you’re encouraged fundraise around the number 20. Tracy said ‘As part of our CSR activity we decided to support a local charity and we will raise money for Thorpe Hall Hospice on a regular basis. I was delighted that everyone wanted to take part in the walk, which took place around Stamford and through the grounds of Burghley House in August.’

Sue Ryder Fundraiser, Mikey Clarke, explained ‘I really wasn’t expecting to receive such a large amount of money. I’m very thankful to the whole team as we can do a lot of things at with £1,076 at Thorpe Hall. Trinity is the largest donor to this campaign and it will most certainly make a difference.’

 

Trinity Conferences was awarded the Promoting Excellence within the Industry Award at the HBAA 2011 Forum in Manchester. The category was judged by Mark Lewis, editor of Caterer and Hotelkeeper magazine who said: “Excellence in the conferences and meetings industry hinges upon employing people with a single-minded focus upon delighting customers. Trinity Conferences’ achievement of IIP Gold has driven standards of client care, increased both client and staff retention, and led to more effective succession planning.”

Jenny Harding, Director of Operations was delighted to collect the award. She commented: “This award is independent recognition and a great tribute to Trinity’s achievements in the last year. It recognises the dedication and professionalism of our whole team and acknowledges Trinity’s commitment to training and development, as well as the clear communication of strategic objectives.”

 

 Trinity Conferences are delighted to announce the appointment of Stephen Usher to the Trinity brand as Managing Director of Trinity Event Management – the full event management arm of Trinity Conferences. The appointment sees the amalgamation of House of Usher – event management division and Trinity Conferences.

Trinity to operate international version of venuefinder.com

Trinity Conferences is set to take venue finding to a wider audience, following the announcement of a partnership agreement with CMP Information’s Confex Group.

Trinity Conferences has been appointed to manage and operate online venue finding with venuefinder.com/international, which offers brand new international search capabilities.

Part of the Confex Group, venuefinder.com is the online version of the Conference Blue & Green Book, has been at the forefront for corporates and intermediaries involved in planning meetings and events.

 

Jacqui speaks of the pitfalls of international event planning at the National Venue Show.

Conference delegates benefited from the expertise of the speaker panel and faced the challenges of organising international events head on.

 

 AWARD-WINNING Stamford businesswoman Jacqui Kavanagh is set to challenge the meeting and events sector with the launch of her new enterprise Trinity Conferences this week.

Jacqui was recognised in the SHINE Awards last year for her outstanding achievements in the travel, tourism and hospitality industries but is really hoping to make her mark in an increasingly competitive sector through a unique business offering.

Unlike traditional and more established venue placement agencies, Trinity's key business measure will be conversion ratios. Agents have traditionally offered a free service, performance being measured on a quantitative, revenue base as opposed to a qualitative proposition. By tracking the conversion of enquiries, the Trinity team will ensure that they are giving their clients a precise service that fully meets their face-to-face marketing requirements.

A team of seven, headed by Jacqui, will work with a client base that reads like an A–Z of the corporate marketplace. The team represents a hybrid of employees from key agencies, hotels and venues.

Mrs Kavanagh said: "Trinity represents a unique venture in a sector that is going through so much change. Whilst there is a lot of consolidation going on, we have carried out research with our clients, all of whom are excited at our business proposition".

Trinity Conferences offers three types of service: venue finding for conferences and meetings; accommodation booking; and international venues (available from February 2007).

It focuses on giving the highest level of service to customers through experienced industry professionals.
 

 

 Trinity Conferences joins the industry’s most dynamic global community, Meeting Professionals International (MPI) in a bid to do more business and deliver greater value by offering a myriad of content-rich, planner- and supplier-focused events and initiatives.

"Membership of the MPI offers beyond educational programming, it's a valuable communications and content platform that provides abundant opportunities to stay current and connected to the meeting and events industry."
