You can mix business with pleasure

Jun 18 2007 By The Journal

Contrary to the usual advice, `never mix business with pleasure', Matfen are now encouraging organisations to do exactly that by launching a new dimension to the standard conference package, which involves a half day's business meeting followed by a half's days beauty or skincare workshop.

The skincare workshop is designed to be suitable for "beauties and beasts", male and female delegates. The hotel believes such a package will make conferences more appealing and more effective.

After the business meeting companies can incorporate a workshop, based on award winning skin care or make-up ranges. The workshops are specially designed to give confidence.

The Jane Iredale beauty workshop demonstrates the entire makeup process while The Comfort Zone skincare workshop, demonstrates the importance of skin care and how to look after the skin.

Marc Thompson, operations manager at Matfen, says: "We provide a range of unique team-building events here at Matfen Hall, however we are always looking to offer our corporate clients something different. These workshops are specially tailored for business people, and are intended to be both motivational and inspirational."

The "Mixing Business with Pleasure Day" is available for up to 20 delegates at a cost of £65 per person, which is inclusive of meeting room, workshop, morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea and "goody bag".

The hotel can add these half day workshops to any conventional conference taking place or alternatively both workshops can be booked together, providing a whole day's workshop.
