Home News Venues & Events The Barbican to host James Bond evening for clients’ eyes only
Category: Venues & Events Created on Wednesday, 04 November 2015 10:00
The Barbican has been given a license to thrill as it hosts an evening dedicated to James Bond for clients culminating in a screening of the latest blockbuster
in the franchise ‘Spectre’.
The Bond evening is being run in partnership with Searcys and will see key and valued clients from across the Searcys portfolio invited to attend the event on
Thursday, 5th November.
Guests will be treated to drinks in the Garden Room before enjoying the screening of Spectre in Cinema 1. Following the film Searcys will be showcasing its catering with
guests having the opportunity to network while enjoying the latest food and drink innovations in the conservatory.
The Bond evening has been arranged as a Searcys celebration of the company successfully retaining the catering contract for events at the Barbican.
Johanna Byrane, head of sales at Searcys said: “We are delighted to be hosting this event in conjunction with the Barbican. We have built a strong partnership with the team
over recent years and we are thrilled that we are able to continue to work successfully together in the future.
“With Searcys and the Barbican being iconic British brands, I can think of no better event to mark the occasion than a film that includes one of the biggest brands in the
world – Bond. We hope that our, and the Barbican’s, guests enjoy our showing of ‘Spectre’.”
“The Barbican has had a great affinity with Bond since we hosted the ‘Designing 007: Fifty years of Bond style’ exhibition back in 2012,” comments Jackie Boughton, Head
of Sales at Barbican Business Events. “This event will not only celebrate one of fiction’s greatest characters but introduces clients to the fantastic event spaces on offer here
at the Barbican. We’re sure the martinis on offer will leave attendees shaken, but not stirred ahead of the tours and film.
“Spectre is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2015 so where better to watch it than the Barbican? You only live twice after all...”

Home News Awards The Barbican awarded 4 star rating by the Venue Standard
Category: Awards Created on Wednesday, 18 November 2015 12:00
The Barbican has been awarded with a 4 star certificate from the Venue Standard following a rigorous assessment process put in place by the industry
standard.
The certificate acknowledges high standards in both operational processes and procedures throughout the Barbican. The assessment also recognises a
dedication to ensuring memorable experiences for delegates and clients whilst delivering excellence as a quality venue.
“The 4 star rating given to us by the Venue Standard is recognition of the standard of venue, facilities and service that we offer to our clients,” comments Lee Dobson, Head
of Event Management at the Barbican. “Not only does it highlight what we have done well but it also gives us a solid platform on which we can build. With many venue
improvements to come in the summer of 2016, we are confident that we can continue to exceed client expectations.”
The Venue Standard is designed to help organisers and planners identify what standard of venue they are dealing with. Similar to hotels and restaurants, the Venue Standard
is a rating based on specific criteria that has been checked and verified by Excellence Squared, a UKAS accredited body.
"Congratulations to the Barbican on being recognised with a 4 star rating for the Venue Standard,” comments Gary Swarbrooke, from the Excellence Squared. “Achieving
this level of Venue Standard is a real accolade to the way the Barbican develops and delivers its services with the customer in mind. The Standard does a quality assessment
against customer feedback, physical appearance, service delivery and administration. The Barbican has every reason to be proud of their recognition as a quality venue in
London”
