Special Spring Offer To Corporate Clients

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

 £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)

Leadership Team workshop

Aiming For Our Best Year Yet in 2010!

Friday, January 15th, 2010

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 signs up to 10:10 Initiative

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

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.

Green Shoots Perhaps?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Is it a sign of an upturn or a release of pent up pressure?  Whatever the cause, it is cheering to note that some organisations, who not long ago told us they had no budget or were constrained by a travel embargo, are now booking team events.  This is a very encouraging trend. 

Clearly, in challenging economic conditions, senior teams need to step back and do some strategic thinking.  After all, it is they who have to pull their organisations out of this recession.  It is their confidence in the future that will allow the markets to function well and get the whole economy onto a sound footing.  

To step back means to make space between them and the pressures of daily business, which otherwise locks them into reactive thinking.  They should spend at least one night away together in ideal surrounding and have a well-facilitated process for their strategic thinking.  Because High Trenhouse is the perfect venue for such work, we expect the green shoots to grow. 

For the health of the economy, let’s hope the trend continues.

“Puddings A Plenty at High Trenhouse”

Monday, September 21st, 2009

High Trenhouse was delighted to play host for a second year to Country Adventures for their acclaimed “Pudding Weekend”

Country Adventures prides itself on organising fun and exciting adventure activity holidays that offer the best experience in the great outdoors with something for everyone to enjoy.

The weekend combined guided walks in the fantastic Yorkshire Dales countryside, with an interest in traditional food and particularly some of your favourite English puddings. The weekend turned out to be yet another success for Country Adventures and High Trenhouse.

“I have just returned from one of the best weekends ever – puddings, walking, great company and many laughs. What more could you want? Thanks to Joe and all those at High Trenhouse for a lovely weekend.” Elaine, Wirral  August 2009

Different kinds of event need different kinds of venue so don’t assume that one will fit all needs.

High Trenhouse has designed a venue checklist to help you discern what’s matters most to your off site residential event.
