With hotels closing down at least temporarily to combat the coronavirus threat there is very little in the way of new venues planning to open or new developments on which to report.
Perhaps instead we could draw your attention to three little-known venues in the East Midlands that offer good quality meeting space and training rooms.
DBS centres are based in Castle Donington, Glenfield and Ashby de la Zouch within easy access of Derby, Leicester, Nottingham and Burton.
Castle Donington, the largest, has a main conference room to accommodate up to 40 delegates theatre style, an executive boardroom to seat ten and two small meeting rooms seating six and four delegates respectively. Glenfield has one meeting room accommodating 22 delegates boardroom style. Ashby de la Zouch offers a range of individual and interconnected office suites.
DBS hire packages are flexible and space can be hired by the hour, half day or full day.
All the meeting rooms are fully furnished, with wi-fi access and telecoms. Whiteboards, flip chart, paper and pens are provided. Larger rooms also have LCD screens with connectors.
Refreshments can be provided, with hot and cold food available for breakfast meetings, lunch and afternoon tea.
All three sites offer free, secure, on-site parking.
DBS also offer serviced offices, co-working office space, virtual offices and a business mailing address.
DBS Castle Donington business centre is located in the centre of town a few miles from East Midlands airport.
DBS Glenfield is close to Leicester city centre with good access to the motorway network.
DBS Ashby de la Zouch is located in the town centre.
