The Meridian Training Room
     
As those of you who have trained with us in the past may know, we have been searching around for a while for a better training space which incorporates our needs as trainers and your needs as our clients.  Our previous site was useful and practical, but could in no way be described as beautiful!  We felt it was time to move on and find somewhere that fitted in with the way Salad was changing and growing as a company.

     
We drew up a list of what we considered our most important criteria for training space and asked people on our trainings to fill out questionnaires too.  Since then we have been combing the county for a suitable venue.
     
We found that it was easy to find fabulous conferencing facilities as long as we had an unlimited budget.  We looked at loads of gorgeous rooms, but turned them down, knowing that as a consequence of using them we would be forced to increase our training fees.  Something we were just not comfortable with doing.
 

We struck lucky when one of our clients told us about his project to create a training space in his complementary health centre. The Meridian Centre for Complementary Health Care is situated two minutes walk from our offices and five minutes walk from Hinckley town centre.
     
Peter Allison, the proprietor was in the process of remodelling the space and agreed to incorporate some of our ideas into his plans.  It is so rare that this kind of opportunity comes along that we jumped at the chance.  His willingness to involve us in the project meant that we could guarantee that our needs were being met.  It meant waiting a little longer than we had anticipated for the finished result, but we think you will agree that it was worth it.
     
We love the space to work in because it is so light and airy with big windows and high ceilings.  It is blessed with lots of natural light and plenty of good quality halogen lighting for the winter months when the afternoons get darker.  It is a simple, yet beautiful space.  The wooden floors are complemented by fabulous jewel coloured rugs and the plain cream walls are decorated with beautiful fabric hangings.  It provides plenty of room for the intimate style of training we provide, and we can comfortably seat fifteen people and still have room for all of our exercise based trainings.
     
On a more high tech note it is equipped with its own air conditioning and under floor heating system which we can control according to your needs, and we have our own dedicated facilities for making drinks and providing snacks throughout the day.  It is within easy reach of Hinckley’s pubs and restaurants and has on street parking facilities as well as several large car parks only minutes walk away.  The train and bus station are also five minutes walk from the centre.

Peter has proved to be a caring host for our trainings and has ironed out any of the little glitches that come with new build projects as soon as they have come to light.  He is still working with us to improve the space as the number and complexity of our trainings increase and we are incredibly grateful to him for the sterling work he has done on our behalf.
