UK Training Industry Press Releases

Chris Catford, Assistant Manager at Cotswold Conference Centre will be cycling, running and swimming to raise funds for the National Autistic Society at the Upton Triathlon on 10^th July - a British Triathlon Federation registered event.   This ‘opportunity' came about from an informal discussion with CCC client Chris Barson, the founder of the training organisation Positive About Autism^TM.  The two Chris's will be competing on the day. All funds raised will be used to support NAS services including Advocacy for Education service, Befriending scheme, Parent to Parent support service and help! programme.

Assistant Manager Chris Catford explains "Through the work Chris Barson has done at CCC running his successful ‘Positive About Autism' courses many more people working in the education, health and social care services sectors are more able to work with people with autism, their family, their community and culture.  The least I could do was offer to keep him company! - What a great cause..."

It is the only Conference Centre of Excellence in the Cotswolds and an Investor in People.

Notes to Editors:

Cotswold Conference Centre (CCC) was launched in January 2001. The facilities have developed over the past 45 years from humble beginnings as the residential training school for Group 4 Total Security. The centre now boasts 53 well-appointed en-suite rooms from four charming locations on site, which are set within over 300 breathtaking acres of Cotswold scenery with stunning views across the Vale of Evesham. The conference centre is the perfect learning environment with a village feel and offers meeting rooms with natural daylight, equipment and support from a small, friendly team.

CCC has been recognised as an Investor in People and the team at CCC have been inspected and accredited with Hospitality Assured.  CCC were recently recognised at the 2009 Heart of England Tourism awards winning a Silver for Customer service and two highly commended for Sustainability and Business Tourism. They were Training Venue of the Year Finalists in 2007 and won the VisitBritain national Gold Award for Business Tourism in 2005.

Conference Centres of Excellence (CCE) is a marketing consortium for a group of individual centres, both residential and non-residential, who have joined together to promote the concept that dedicated venues provide an ideal environment for business meetings, conferences, team building and any other corporate event which requires a focused and non-distractive environment.
