At 11am on 11 November 1918 guns fell silent on a 400 mile stretch of land, from the Swiss border 

through France, into Belgium and up to the North Sea. This marked the signing of the Armistice and 

brought an end to World War I. 

Today, we continue to remember this and all the men and women who lost their lives in two world 

wars and the conflicts which have followed. Two minutes silence on the 11th hour of the 11th day 

of the 11th month, the laying of wreaths across the world, marching parades, Chelsea Pensioners 

and millions of people wearing a poppy with pride and in honour of the fallen, are synonymous 

with Remembrance Day. 

“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.” 

For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon 

13

There can’t be many who weren’t 

moved by the ceramic poppies 

which filled HM Tower of London’s 

famous moat with the Blood Swept 

Lands and Seas of Red installation 

in 2014. 

Created by Paul Cummins and Tom Piper, the 

888,246 poppies represented a British military 

fatality and marked 100 years since the first full 

day of Britain’s involvement in WWI. 

This powerful visual commemoration also 

included a sunset ceremony each evening; 

a roll of Honour where the names of 180 people 

from the Commonwealth troops killed during 

the war were read out before the playing of the 

Last Post. 

There are few London spaces capable of 

accommodating 2,000 people but the iconic 

Tower of London Moat ticks the box. Available 

for exclusive evening hire, it’s a summer drinks 

reception, a pop-up party or a winter ice-skating 

session waiting to happen! 

The New Armouries Meeting Suite is perfect for 

conferences and meetings for up 100 delegates 

and if you’re looking for a dramatic backdrop for 

dining, the choice is staggering; the Jewel House, 

the White Tower, Wakefield Tower, the Banqueting 

Suite and the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers are our 

particular favourites.

Founded in 1918 towards the end 

of WWI, the Royal Air Force quickly 

grew in the lead up to WWII when 

it was responsible for defending 

Great Britain, supporting the British 

army and carrying out a tactical 

bombing campaign over Germany. 

Large-scale night time raids saw 

Lancaster bombers, Hurricanes and 

Spitfires amongst the thousands 

of aircraft taking to the deadly 

night skies. 

These planes have captured a place in the nation’s heart 

and one of the best places to appreciate them is at the 

Royal Air Force Museum London in the Battle of Britain Hall. 

Imagine a banquet for 400 guests sat beneath the wings of 

a magnificent Lancaster bomber or an evening reception 

with a Spitfire as the centrepiece; it’s a dramatic and striking 

setting which can’t possibly fail to impress and inspire. 

Equally impactful is the Milestones of Flight building which 

was opened in 2003, 100 years after Orville Wright flew the 

first powered flight. The space has high viewing platforms 

so the stunning display of suspended aircraft can be truly 

appreciated and interactive technology takes guests and 

delegates on a journey through some of the most important 

milestones in aviation history. Suitable for up to 100 people, 

it’s an atmospheric setting for a memorable event. 

16

For meetings, exhibitions, conferences and product 

launches consider the Dermot Boyle Wing which 

has 480 square metres of floor space and 

accommodates up to 250 delegates for a theatre 

style event with projection or the pillar free tiered 

Lecture Theatre which seats 224 people. 

As well as having an experienced events team 

to oversee technical requirements and venue 

management, delegates have the opportunity 

to explore the museum and all its artefacts free 

of charge. 

Located just 20 minutes from central London and 

outside the congestion charge zone, with good 

road, rail and tube links and ample free parking, 

charter an event at the Royal Air Force Museum 

and delegates will be flying high with satisfaction! 

17

Opened in 2002, the multi-award 

winning Imperial War Museum North 

is a visionary symbol of the effects of 

war. The design, by world renowned 

architect Daniel Libeskind, is based 

on a world shattered by conflict and 

has three interlocking shards which 

represent conflict on land, water 

and in the air. 

18

Overlooking Media City and The Quays, the museum 

has the capacity for 700 guests in the main exhibition 

space or smaller meetings can be arranged in the 

Director’s Boardroom for up 30 delegates. 

Unique to the venue is the Big Picture Show, an 

immersive cinematic experience presenting film, 

imagery and sound from the museum’s collection. 

These short films explore various themes, from 

service and separation to Remembrance or 

organisers can work with the technical team to 

create a bespoke picture show. The digital 

wallpapers provide a spectacular 

backdrop for receptions, award 

ceremonies and gala dinners 

and with head chef Tony Pickup 

creating fabulous food from a 

seasonal menu, the scene is 

set for victory!

A Day in the Life… 

Daniel Rich, General Manger at Barton Grange 

Hotel, Preston, tells us about his day... 

My working day usually starts at 6.30am when I attend 

one of the regular local breakfast networking meetings 

that I either chair or contribute to. Networking, and getting 

to know businesses around the local area, is key to the 

success of the hotel, and in particular, to the growth of 

our conference business. 

Espresso at the ready, and in the office for 8.30am, I’m 

prepared to clear some of the overnight emails from my 

insomniac contacts! 

I always take a 15 minute walk around the hotel and the 

grounds. The exercise is good of course, but really, you can 

never be complacent about how your hotel looks, and this 

is my time to cast a critical eye over everything. 

20


During the past couple of years, we have undergone 

an extensive refurbishment in our bedrooms and 

conference rooms, and are about to embark on the 

next phase of this with the introduction of two new spa 

treatment rooms and a refurbished gym. I have been 

working with all the teams involved in this, from interior 

design through to build, so the first thing I like to do is 

catch up with the various contractors involved. 

I have a senior team meeting at 9.30am everyday 

where we run through the day’s business, ensure the 

teams are properly resourced and it’s a chance for me 

to ensure that every ‘i’ is dotted and ‘t’ is crossed. 

Great service is everything. 

The Grange Room is next, where breakfast service 

is coming to an end. I like to make sure this has run 

smoothly. Any issues at breakfast can ruin a guest’s stay; 

it’s the last thing they remember before checking-out. 

So, I am not ashamed to admit to being a little pedantic 

about how this is served. As we’re heading into the 

Christmas season, the Walled Garden restaurant will 

become very busy with festive diners, and so a Christmas 

planning meeting takes up much of my morning. 

21


Together with the kitchen and conference teams, we 

are planning a selection of corporate Christmas parties, 

private party nights as well as Christmas Day and Boxing 

Day menus. It’s important that we get the balance right 

between catering for Christmas events and our regular 

corporate guests, and for me that’s all about ensuring we 

have the right people and resources in the right place. 

And that is down to great planning. We sample menus 

until they are perfect. Fortunately, with such amazing local 

produce on our doorstep, Chef has a great foundation to 

create mouth-watering festive food so menu tastings are 

not exactly a hardship! 

Lunch is often taken up meeting a corporate client or 

local supplier. We are proud of our local supplier policy, 

and it means that we are able to serve the highest quality 

food and drink and contribute to the local economy at 

the same time. From local fish, to cheese and chickens, 

we have a wide selection of local produce on our menus 

and we are always looking for new partners. 

It’s vital that the hospitality industry attracts good, new 

talent and I’m passionate about ensuring that the hotel 

and catering industry recruits the best. I’m a proud 

supporter of employing apprentices to ensure we help 

develop careers and attract the best people into the 

industry. The first part of my afternoon is spent meeting 

with my contacts who run the hospitality courses at 

various local colleges to confirm if we can employ a 

number of apprentices across all departments, and then 

interviewing a number of them for various posts here at 

the Barton Grange Hotel. 

We’re always on the lookout for new talent and want to 

develop the careers of all our staff so it’s vital that they 

have the correct training plans in place so they develop 

to realise their full potential. We also recruit extra help 

over the Christmas period, so part of my role is to ensure 

that all the posts are filled and teams are fully staffed. 

22


Late afternoon I always touch base with the finance team 

to go through budgets and ensure the figures stack up! 

Managing a major refurbishment over the past couple of 

years and the forthcoming work is as much about 

balancing the numbers as it is managing the contractors, 

so this is a crucial part of the day. 

The last part of the afternoon I try to spend time front of 

house, meeting guests that are checking in or relaxing 

in the lounge areas. I also like to catch up with any 

conference clients to ensure all went well. It’s always good 

to hear first-hand feedback on our facilities and service. 

We have a range of refurbished conference suites and 

outdoor event space available, and regularly host clients 

for one day to week long events; and this is growing. Our 

excellent location blends the tranquillity of the Lancashire 

countryside with the ease of free parking and close 

proximity to the M6, which has proven to be popular with 

corporate event guests, those looking to host an annual 

dinner or an award event. 

A quick run through the emails, my last espresso of the day 

and returning telephone calls rounds off the afternoon. 

Early evening, I prepare for a specially designed dinner 

I’m hosting in the Walled Garden restaurant. It will be 

attended by national corporate travel agents and 

conference and event managers. It will include a tailored 

tasting menu developed especially for them, with specific 

wines served with each dish. We try to include seasonal 

products as much as we can and as we enter autumn and 

winter there’s so much choice from the local area. 

We invite our local suppliers to get involved and this gives 

them the opportunity to showcase their fantastic products 

and for us to demonstrate the superb dishes we can 

create. We have an excellent chef and kitchen team and 

our sommelier has an in-depth knowledge of wine to 

serve which is a great asset to our team. 

I’ll then head home. A quick catch up on emails and paper 

work that has come in during the afternoon, so I’m all 

ready to go and have a ‘clear’ desk in the morning! And 

then, it’s family time. Work-life balance is a difficult one to 

strike in the hospitality sector; 24 hour a day businesses 

don’t lend themselves to ‘down time’ very well...but I am 

working on it!

What our clients 

say about 


“My contact with Infotel Solutions 

Ltd and Findmeaconference has 

been invaluable in the course of 

my work in the UK. This has 

saved me a lot of time that I 

would have spent searching 

on the internet. 

All members of the team 

have always been helpful and 

professional, my usual contact 

is especially knowledgeable 

on what is necessary when I 

require a new venue.” 

Rosemary Thompson 

- Examinations Administrator 

“Our company has used 

lnfotel Solutions Ltd for many 

years for both accommodation 

and conference bookings. 

They provide an excellent 

service and their staff are both 

friendly and efficient. lnfotel 

Solutions always manages to 

get our bookings at a great 

discount and never fail 

to deliver. 

We have recently used their 

bill-back service which again 

has removed a huge amount 

of administration from us and 

I would recommend their 

services to any organisation.”
