$8M in upgrades to venues across Asia Pacific

Australian owned event and conference venue provider Cliftons, invests over $8M in upgrades to venues across Asia Pacific.

• Key areas of investment include state-of-the-art interior fit outs, new furniture, kitchen upgrades and technical infrastructure across 10 locations in four countries

• Completely upgraded event and conference venues now open in Perth, Canberra and Wellington

• Twice New Zealand Chef of the Year re-designs menus and dining experience across the Cliftons network

December 1st 2016 (Sydney, Australia) - 2016 saw event and conference provider Cliftons, revamp, refresh and redesign facilities throughout Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore.

Cliftons dedicated Design and Architecture Team, based in Melbourne, researched and reviewed the progression and innovation of meeting, events and conference venues, restaurants and bars worldwide to ensure the Cliftons re-design and revamp hit the mark.

Extensive discussions were also held with Cliftons clients and their event attendees to ensure customer experience was placed at the forefront of the remodel. “With over 300,000 unique individuals attending events at Cliftons venues in FY16, it was imperative that we placed customer experience at the top of our priority list” said Andrew Cameron, Managing Director.

INTERIOR FIT-OUTS, NEW FURNITURE AND TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES are just the beginning. The initial conversation came about during discussions on the future direction of event and conference venues, global work practices, corporate work spaces and continuing professional development. After much deliberation it was agreed that the primary use of Cliftons investment should be to upgrade “what you see, what you sit at and what you sit on”, while ensuring seamless delivery of client needs.
