2020 has been a dramatic year so far, to say the least! Searching for good news can be challenging at the best of times, however, the team still manage to remain positive, with the ‘glass half full’ spirit, as always! It seems the positivity has paid off, as the good news this week is that we have been shortlisted for THREE  awards at The Conference Awards 2020.

The categories are:

Best Conference Venue (under 450 Theatre Style)

Best Conference Venue Customer Service

Best Operations Team (Venues)

We are thankful for this honor and look forward to the awards ceremony in October. This is testimony to all the hard work that goes on behind (and in front of) the scenes by the team.

Congratulations are also due to all the other venues who have been shortlisted for various awards! Well done!

Did you know One Great George Street has a YouTube channel?

This is just one of the many ways you can keep up with the latest news about our venue. Our latest upload tells you all about our plans for re-opening, and details the measures we are taking to ensure your safety with us when we have the joy of seeing you again soon!

Whatever your favourite format of online consumption is, we have you covered. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, & LinkedIn, so take your pick, and as always; feel free to contact us directly if you have any questions for us: info@onegreatgeorgestreet.com.

As lock-down regulations are relaxing, we are preparing to re-open – hopefully in the near future.

I’m sure you have more than a few questions about the differences in the way we operate, due to COVID-19. To help with those questions, the picture above shows our main measures.

We are complying with government guidelines, and keeping abreast of new developments, therefore we are complying with the social distancing recommendations (2 metres). This will apply to movement throughout the venue and different event types. We are also operating a one-way system around the venue to facilitate appropriate distancing.

Hand sanitizer will be available at various points in the building, and our dedicated team of cleaners will be on duty at all times to carry out frequent cleaning of the building, with high touch areas being cleaned several times per day.

We also have new procedures regarding our catering provisions. As expected our catering staff will be fully equipped with PPE, including gloves & masks. There will also be clearing stations available for attendees to give back their crockery and cutlery safely. We are also providing ‘Grab & Go’  lunch bags with packaged cutlery for those who would prefer ‘touch-free’ catering.

We are also providing face masks for use in WC’s. You can have full confidence that an event with us will be conducted safely. If you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to contact us by emailing info@onegreatgeorgestreet.com.

Technology has become an essential part of our lives – we rely on it to help us with simple tasks daily. It’s no different for us at One Great George Street, we use technology to help give our clients the best experience possible, whether it’s used for controlling the temperature of a room, lighting effects or providing virtual meeting solutions.

With that in mind, maybe you are having thoughts about the ways in which technology can benefit your events in the future. One Great George Street has a host of virtual event packages available to suit your needs – whether completely or partially virtual. You can even tour our venue virtually using the VR tour on the homepage – and if you’re not au fait with technology – don’t worry! – we can handle all of that for you!

You can reach us by e-mail or video call, just contact info@onegreatgeorgestreet.com

The time the world will return to ‘normal’ is currently uncertain, however, that doesn’t mean we can’t make room for a new ‘normal’, in anticipation of the time when we are able to re-open.

We are pleased to announce our new potential revised room capacities, which have been carefully considered; taking into account current government guidelines pertaining to social distancing.

Our team are on hand to answer any questions you may have regarding future planning – contact us by e-mail: info@onegreatgeorgestreet.com
