 The UK’s leading frozen food store is set to host its annual managers’ conference in Liverpool. Later this month, more than 850 delegates from Iceland stores across the country will head to the BT Convention Centre (left) for the event.
Iceland is the biggest retailer of frozen food in the country, with 633 stores. The company’s events manager James Watt said: ‘We are delighted to announce this year’s conference will take place in Liverpool. We selected the BT Convention Centre as our venue because the facilities are second to none and the location on the banks of the River Mersey is outstanding.’
Jacquie Rogers, general manager of the BT Convention Centre, added: ‘We are delighted that Iceland has chosen the BT Convention Centre for its conference this year. This is an extremely prestigious business win for us, which helps to position the venue as one of the very best convention centres in the UK.’
The BT Convention Centre is part of the Arena and Convention Centre Liverpool (ACC Liverpool), an architecturally-stunning, £164million development on the city’s famous King’s Waterfront. The BT Convention Centre has 1,350 seats, a 3,725 square metre multi-purpose hall, and 18 further meeting rooms offering complete flexibility. Total exhibition space is in excess of 7,000 sq metres.
The venue aims to be the most environmentally-friendly facility of its kind in Europe and has been designed to produce half the CO2 emissions of a traditional building and will use 20% less electricity. The venue’s purpose-built wind farm, funded by the European Objective One Programme, was completed in March 2008, and provide the equivalent of around 10% of electricity in the complex.
