A conferencing testimony

“It is a wonderful venue with excellent facilities,” was a comment made by a conferencing guest to Granny Mouse recently.

For many conference seekers, a well-established hotel that offers value for money, delicious food, quality service and a variety of conferencing options, is on the checklist for a successful conference.

For companies based in and around the KZN Midlands, Granny Mouse Country House & Spa, nestled in the Caversham Valley, is not always seen as a venue to host a conference, but according to the national sales manager of Hulamin Containers, the reason for choosing Granny Mouse was simple, “The facilities at Granny Mouse were sufficient to accommodate the whole team and the deal offered was reasonable and I would definitely recommend it”.

Hulamin Containers manufactures a vast range of aluminium foil containers that are used to package food for ready meals, pies and bakery items. With their factory and head office based in Pietermaritzburg, it was only fitting that Hulamin Containers choose a quality location in the Midlands to host their national sales workshop.

The feedback from the sales team was that they most enjoyed, “The tranquillity of the Natal Midlands and the extremely friendly staff making everyone feel very welcome. They (Granny Mouse) also have very comfortable and well-appointed rooms”.

With every aspect of the Hotel, from the reservations to the banqueting, to the Spa, to the food and beverage department, as well as housekeeping, there are always those that stand out and go the extra mile. For the Hulamin Containers team, “The lady that was tasked to “look after us” was excellent and she ensured that everything ran smoothly. She was very friendly and always professional. However, the staff in general was also very accommodating for any special requests.”

For all those who host a conference, workshop, product launch or teambuilding, the aim of the outcome is success. For the Hulamin Containers sales team, this conference was one of the few times during the year that the whole sales team from the various parts of the country were able to interact on a one-on-one basis, achieving the aim of the workshop as a whole.

For the team at Granny Mouse, headed by the General Manager Sean Granger, conferences allow them to showcase more of what Granny Mouse offers. “We are so well-known for our wedding facilities and fine dining restaurant, and it is rewarding to receive positive responses from those who use our conference facilities as well. We strive to offer a wide spectrum of options for our guests and endeavor to provide quality service, so that each and every guest, conferencing team, wedding party or general patron, feels at home away from home. We also offer tailor made packages that we believe meet the criteria of value for money,” Granger said.
