Special Spring Offer To Corporate Clients

February 25th, 2010 by Helen Charters

 £500 discount when you book a 48-hour event

It is tempting to economise by running two-day residential events with a single overnight stay. We know from experience that 48-hour events work better.

The first evening enables you to bring people into relationship, aligned and motivated for creative work, giving double the benefit for marginal extra cost.

See the article Leadership team workshop -How long does it take? for a fuller account from one of our clients explaining why the extra time can add so much more value.

Because we believe you will be delighted with the results, we are offering £500 discount off 48-hour events between 6th to 16th April 2010.

(offer applies to a minimum group of 10 participants, from 5.00pm day 1 to 5.00pm day 3)

Aiming For Our Best Year Yet in 2010!

January 15th, 2010 by Helen Charters

High Trenhouse is setting ambitious targets for occupancy in the year ahead with much of our accommodation already booked. We look forward to seeing clients who have enjoyed our hospitality before, but  we also welcome a number of new groups in 2010.

Our clients include medium sized companies, large organisations and independent consultants who are requiring the perfect venue for their event . The type of events include management workshops, training and development events and teambuilding.

High Trenhouse has also seen it’s leisure market grow over the past two years and we continue to work with group organisers who run all kinds of leisure activities.   

Not everyone is aware that we can also provide top-class facilitation, outdoor learning activities and also LogoVisual thinking processes.  It is a very broad offering with something for everyone. 

Corporate clients this year are mostly focused on leadership team development, much of it concerned with strategy development.  Others are more down to earth with smaller organisations taking time out to get together to think about their future. 

Leisure groups cover walkers, painting, yoga and various special occasions such as family gatherings and re-unions. Our longest repeat booking is a group now celebrating its 13th anniversary. 

We pride ourselves in giving excellent value. We offer exclusive use with attentive and responsive service so that the place runs around your people and your process.  There are still some vacancies in 2010.  If you don’t know High Trenhouse, please get in touch and we will be glad to show you around.  Don’t leave it too late to enquire – its going to be a busy year.

High Trenhouse in Winter

January 4th, 2010 by Helen Charters

Life goes on, in spite of airport closures, motorway blockages and icy pavements throughout the land.  These conditions used to be the norm, but a decade of milder winters has led many to be less prepared. 

At High Trenhouse our policy of keeping cars in the valley when there is a risk of snow has been vindicated.  Most days our Landrover provides a valuable connecting link, though there have been glitches due to the festive holidays (even snow ploughs take a break).

It may be winter outside, but contrast that with the warmth of High Trenhouse with it’s cosy interiors, wood burning stoves, sauna and jacuzzi, good food and welcoming hospitality.

Happy new year. We look forward to seeing you in 2010!

What is exclusive?

December 10th, 2009 by Helen Charters

In their advertising and brochures many providers talk about their ‘exclusive’ venues.

But what do they mean by ‘exclusive’?  Mostly they mean that they are expensive and thus exclude the people who cannot afford the fees.  It is a term that assures people that they will not be rubbing shoulders with the less-well-off.  

At High Trenhouse ‘exclusive’ means something different. It means your group is the only customer! Not only will you avoid rubbing shoulders with anyone but your own group, but also you have the whole place to yourself. A place of your own with your own workspace, your own dining room for every meal, your own bar and your own amenities.  Of course, quality and comfort are yours, with no other customer competing for service.  More than anything, it means you have privacy, so the confidentiality of your interactions is assured.  It means you can expand into the space, run your programme in your own time, not confined to only a conference room and have our undivided attention when needed.  These factors add enormous value to your event. 

 We invite you to experience this alternative kind of ‘exclusive’.

High Trenhouse signs up to 10:10 Initiative

December 9th, 2009 by Helen Charters

If you are already carbon efficient why do more? We have always tried to be eco-friendly at High Trenhouse – after all our local environment can sometimes challenge our very survival. Now we have signed up to 10:10 and are challenging ourselves to invent the eco-standards we will need in the next decade  

High Trenhouse has signed up to the Guardian’s 10:10 programme and undertaken to reduce carbon emissions by 10% by the end of 2010.  For those new to reducing their carbon footprint, this is a modest challenge.  At High Trenhouse we have been eco-friendly ever since we were founded and long ago insulated our lofts, double glazed our windows, diversified our fuels, switched to low energy light bulbs and planted trees.  

So now how do we reduce a further 10%?  This is an exciting challenge as all our team will be thinking creatively to come up with second-order initiatives.  We are aware that transport is a big factor and although we schedule work time to reduce unnecessary travel and team members often share cars, we think there must be some good opportunities here.  We will also be working with clients to help them reduce their carbon in using High Trenhouse. We will keep you posted.

David Noton Photography Returns to High Trenhouse

November 12th, 2009 by Helen Charters

For the second year in succession renowned landscape and travel photographer David Noton ran a weekend photographic workshop based at  High Trenhouse at the end of October.  

David was impressed by the flexibility offered and the friendliness of the staff.  He said that all the participants enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the stunning photographic locations nearby, and a similar weekend is scheduled for the 8th, 9th and 10th October 2010.  High Trenhouse offers non-photographic partners an ideal base to explore the Dales, and all the participants commented on the brilliant catering with the homemade cakes warmly received after a photographic shoot. 

Full details of workshop dates and locations for 2010 can be found at www.davidnoton.com with the opportunity to pre-register your interest as places are strictly limited.  The accompanying image was shot on a dawn session above Arncliffe by David’s colleague and fellow professional photographer, Jonathan Gooding.
