In 2011, BDRC Continental donated just over £12,000 to events industry charity Meetings Industry Meeting Needs, and in 2012 BDRC looks set to break that record.

Their VenueVerdict service (independently and impartially administered by BDRC Continental) is a customer feedback and accreditation programme used by the country’s leading meeting and event venues to drive improvements in the client experience.  Based around an online survey, it allows properties to benchmark their ratings against their competitors, with the highest performing locations attaining highly-coveted awards and accreditations.

Every completed response from customers triggers a donation of 50p to Meetings Industry Meeting Needs. MIMN’s honorary secretary Sue O'Gorman (pictured left) is delighted to accept this quarter's regular cheque on behalf of MIMN from BDRC's James Bland.

Sue said: "BDRC's commitment to Meetings Industry Meeting Needs is second to none and we are extremely grateful for the company's steadfast generosity. Their contributions fund important projects that make a real difference to many lives."
