Considerations when hiring a meeting room.

While many companies have their own conference rooms, there are numerous benefits to hosting meetings or team-building days off-site. Prestige venues and events offers a wealth of venues for meeting room hire. Here's why you should consider booking an off-site space.

Why opt to hire a meeting room?

Booking a meeting room off-site can be a strategic decision for many businesses. Here are some of the main reasons leaders may choose to hire a space for a few hours, or even days:

  • Lack of space: A business may have some meeting room facilities on-site, but they may not be large enough for gatherings involving multiple teams or for client visits. Meeting rooms in a shared office space may also get booked up quickly.
  • Change of scenery: The novelty of breaking away from the usual office environment can spark creativity and fresh ideas. This can be particularly effective in brainstorming sessions, strategy meetings, or team-building exercises, where innovative thinking and collaboration are essential.
  • Fewer distractions: Off-site meetings can enhance focus and productivity. A typical office is filled with distractions, so having a dedicated meeting space gives teams a chance to concentrate on the task at hand without the usual interruptions.
  • Team bonding: A change of setting can foster better relationships among colleagues and enhance team dynamics. Many venues offer plenty of activities on-site and are often located near attractions that can be enjoyed after the meeting.
  • Neutrality: For meetings involving multiple parties or sensitive discussions, a neutral location can be beneficial.
  • Logistics: If teams are geographically dispersed, choosing a central location that is easily accessible to all participants can save travel time and reduce the logistical complexities of gathering everyone in one place. The same applies if a business is looking to meet a client; if one is located up north and one is south, it may make sense to book a neutral location in the middle.

Once the purpose of the meeting is understood (the why), it’s time for managers to discuss the where. Prestige venues and events offers a variety of attractive choices up and down the UK.
