VenueVerdict Accreditations 2020
22/01/2021 By VenueVerdict Accreditations 2020
We are delighted to announce the following VenueVerdict accreditations for 2020. After a very challenging year, we're sure you'll want to join us in congratulating the recipients.
In a year that has caused substantial disruption to most of our lives, we understand that meetings and events were restricted. However, with an almost full set of data from Q1 and a large chunk of properties re-opening in Q4 we have been able to determine our 2020 accreditations.
Karen Small, Head of the VenueVerdict programme, said: "With the industry gearing up for recovery in 2021 it is more important than ever for properties to ensure high levels of customer service, to regain public trust and set themselves apart from the competition. With VenueVerdict we are delighted to be able to celebrate the venues consistently offering the best levels of service in the industry."
VenueVerdict Gold Standard
The VenueVerdict Gold Standard Accreditation is given to those properties recording a twelve-month Net Promoter Score of +70 or higher from 40 or more Business Event Host responses in the period Q2 2019 to end Q4 2020.
Furthermore, during this period (Q2 2019 to end Q4 2020) venues require 40+ responses with at least ten responses per calendar quarter or 50+ responses with at least ten responses in three calendar quarters and at least one response in the remaining calendar quarter (whole of 2020 counted as a quarter).
