South Lodge, part of Exclusive Collection, was named as Venue of The Year, UK at the prestigious C&IT Awards on Friday 30th September.
The West Sussex hotel was shortlisted with some of the UK’s biggest conference and convention centres. South Lodge won the coveted category based on its uncompromising approach to sustainability and for its understanding and undertaking towards delegate mental health and wellbeing.
Dan Wait, Hotel Manager at South Lodge, comments: “We were in a tough category with some exceptional, globally recognised names as fellow nominees. This win means so much to the team and to my wider Exclusive Collection colleagues as we’ve all made a massive commitment to sustainability through our B Corp certification. And as a group we’ve paid huge attention to the onus corporates are placing on mental health and wellbeing when sending their teams to events. Well done to everyone who was shortlisted at the C&IT Awards, and we look forward to welcoming planners, delegates, and agents to the UK’s Venue of the Year!”
Exclusive Collection’s focus on the delegate experience has also been recognised with a shortlisted place at The Cateys, as well as being named as a finalist in the Boutique Hotel Awards and HOSPA for the collection’s far reaching sustainable practices.
