Business community backs Red Lion’s lounge launch

30 Nov Business community backs Red Lion’s lounge launch

A Worcester pub and restaurant showcased its new business facilities with a networking event.

Some 40 guests from the county’s business community and beyond attended the launch of the Business Lounge at The Red Lion in Holt Heath, which was hosted in conjunction with Worcester media consultancy Chris Green Media.

Attendees enjoyed authentic Caribbean food created by tenant/chef Victoria Cullen and poetry readings from Worcestershire’s Poet Laureate Emeritus Maggie Doyle.

Talks were also given by Andrea Maddocks MBE, founder and chief executive of Mentor Link, and author and broadcaster Tom Watt, media training partner at Chris Green Media.

Mrs Cullen said: “We took over The Red Lion just under a year ago and have always wanted to create a venue for businesses who wish to hold half day or full day meetings and events in a quiet rural setting.

“In the Business Lounge, we have a large screen TV for presentations and WiFi access. There is also plenty of parking for delegates and the pub has easy access to major routes across Worcestershire.”

Chris Green, managing partner of Chris Green Media added: “We will certainly be using the Business Lounge for training events and meetings.

“It is a flexible and well-designed space with break out facilities outdoors which are ideal for delegates to chill out and clear their heads during meetings. The food and the location make it a perfect business venue.”
