Is your current meeting room not up to your standards? Want somewhere in a more convenient location? Maybe you don’t currently have a purpose-built meeting room? If you found yourself nodding whilst reading any of the above, then you may have given up on finding your ideal meeting room. But there’s no need to worry, that ‘perfect’ meeting room is very real! You just need to know how to find it…
At Carrwood Park, we’ve spent years helping businesses grow, and we’ve learnt that meeting rooms can play an integral part in your business growth journey, if used right. As luxury meeting room providers, we’ve matched businesses of all sizes and industries with their perfect meeting room. And over the years, we’ve learnt a thing or two in the process.
With this in mind, we’ve put together some important things to consider when looking for your perfect meeting room.
1. Credibility
Like anything that’s associated with your business, your meeting room will have an impact on your business image. You wouldn’t choose an office space that doesn’t align with your brand ethos, so why would you choose a meeting room that doesn’t?
As a professional business, it makes sense to look for a professional meeting room to further reinforce your credibility. But credibility means different things to different businesses – one company may be looking for a meeting room with a reception check-in service, whereas another company may be looking for a space that offers the latest technology. It’s important to understand exactly what you want from your meeting room before making any investment.
2. Location
It’s essential to bear in mind that different clients will be travelling from different locations, so you need to find a meeting room that’s accessible for everyone. You should also consider the distance that you and your employees need to travel.
At Carrwood Park, we’re just 15 minutes from Leeds city centre, 2 minutes from the M1 and 30 minutes from Leeds Bradford Airport, meaning we’re easily accessible for local, national, and international clients. We also provide free parking, which is ideal for any clients who drive to your meetings.
3. Design
Small business meetings? Strategy sessions? Networking events? What kind of meetings or events do you tend to host? It’s important to take this into account when looking for your ideal meeting room, as you need to choose a room design that’s suitable for the occasion. For example, if you were hosting a standard networking event, then you’d need a larger room with plenty of open space. Have you seen our guide to meeting room layouts?
At Carrwood Park, we have a variety of meeting rooms available, depending on your meeting objectives. Whether you’re looking for a small meeting room to interview a potential employee, a board room to deliver that killer pitch, or an event space to host your next business conference, we have a meeting room for you.
4. Perks
Although the price of some meeting rooms may look significantly higher than others, there’s a good reason for this. Your meeting room should offer so much more than just a room to hold your meetings; you should be looking for somewhere that offers you, your clients and your employees that all-round professional experience. Whilst the cheaper, lower quality meeting rooms simply offer a room to hold your meetings in, some of the more premium meeting room providers offer a productive, inspirational working environment as well as a variety of free perks.
For example, at Carrwood Park, businesses that book one of our meeting rooms can benefit from a reception service, superfast WiFi, top spec IT infrastructure, free parking, as well as enjoy designer furniture, scenic surroundings and more. Are you simply looking for a space to hold your meeting, or do you want to invest in somewhere that offers everything you need to deliver your perfect pitch?
Of course, in an ideal world, your perfect meeting room would be in the same building as your offices. At Carrwood Park, our serviced office residents benefit from discounted access to our luxury meeting rooms, including a 2,000-sq.ft. event space, in our premier business centre.
