“We were 100% pleased with the whole experience – from the AV arrangements to the canapés, everything was exactly as requested in advance. We also sent through a number of last minute specific requests in the 48 hours before the event, and I was very impressed with the responsiveness and thoroughness of your staff in responding to these requests and letting us know exactly what to expect.”
Rachel Teubner, Office of External Affairs and Communications, March 2013
Clare College have demonstrated their commitment to environmental management by topping the Cambridge University Environmental Consulting Society (CUECS) Management League Table for the second year running.
The Gillespie Conference Centre
The Gillespie Centre, with its light, airy design and flexible meeting rooms, combined with wireless connectivity and modern audio visual facilities, offers all the ingredients for you to host memorable events and conferences. Adjoining the conference space, 34 executive, en suite bedrooms are available during vacations.
Environmentally sustainable, The Gillespie Centre uses solar thermal panels and a ground source heat pump for efficient heating and cooling. Energy consumption is kept to a minimum with extensive insulation and large, solar coated, south facing windows which limit heat gain in the summer, keeping our delegates cool at all times.
