Once upon a time, meeting rooms for hire were often pretty uninspiring places. Many consisted of little more that four walls, a table and a couple of chairs. Any art or decor was expected to be generic, and they weren’t really considered to be the type of place where you’d take a client you wanted to impress.
Luckily, venues for meetings have come a very long way since then. More and more professionals are choosing non-traditional career paths and this has paved the way for an increase in self-employment and remote working.
Because of this, there’s now far greater demand for flexible, high quality meeting room provision that’s available short term without the constraints of unwieldy contracts.
All hail the modern meeting room!
If you haven’t yet experienced flexible modern office space, our Leeds meeting rooms might surprise you. We’ve worked closely with a wide range of customers to ensure that the provision we’re offering fits the bill for all manner of requirements.
Here are six things we offer that you might not expect to get from a meetings venue space:
1. Reliable technology
Each of our Leeds meeting rooms contains a full technical set up that’s been diligently tested. We even make sure everything is working as expected just before each room booking. In the unlikely event that you do have some teething problems, there’ll always be someone knowledgeable on hand to get things working.
2. Flexible meeting room layouts
You don’t need to be a permanent resident of a space to want to get something different from it. We recognise the importance of flexibility in meeting rooms and always endeavour to meet any meeting room layout styles requirements. You might want to remove furniture to create more floor space, rearrange seating or add specific technology. Whatever you need, be assured that there are providers offering bespoke solutions.
2. Additional facilities
There’s often more to hiring a meeting room than just the room itself. Many meeting room providers will be able to offer additional facilities such as breakout areas, reception staff, refreshments, hospitality packages and outside space. In terms of technology, a good venue should also be able to provide meeting rooms with conference phone facilities, projectors and accommodate other additional tech requirements.
3. Style and design
Modern meeting rooms should certainly not be something to be embarrassed about! There are certainly a lot of generically put together spaces available to hire, but there are also impressive high end options that will seriously impress your delegates. Our meeting rooms in Leeds are stylish, comfortable and designed to inspire.
4. Round the clock provision
Not all meetings take place between 9am and 5pm. If you need to access a professional meeting space outside of standard office hours, that shouldn’t mean you have to compromise on quality! Our full selection of meeting room facilities is available outside office hours on request.
5. Hassle-free parking at no extra cost
Many business facilities are found in the city centre. Though there are benefits to this, there can also be big disadvantages. One key problem with city centre meeting rooms is that it can be difficult and expensive for attendees to park nearby. Our facilities are located fifteen minutes outside of the city centre in large, attractive grounds… and we offer extensive hassle-free parking as standard. If you’re looking for meeting rooms with parking, Leeds outskirts-based Carrwood Park is a popular choice.
Does it surprise you to hear just how far the meeting room has come from its more generic beginnings? If so, we’d love to have the opportunity to blow your mind.
