The Exchange Joins Venues of Excellence

We’re delighted to announce that the University’s new venue, The Exchange, has joined the Venues of Excellence consortium.

And it’ll be in good company. The University’s other venues, including the Bramall Music Building, and Edgbaston Park Hotel joined Venues of Excellence in 2019.

Venues of Excellence is a membership organisation for the very best in conferences and events. Committed to delivering excellence in meetings, training and events, Venues of Excellence pulls together the unique and specialist venues that provide high-quality services to offer delegates a truly exceptional experience.

Becoming an accredited Venue of Excellence is no easy feat; venues must complete an intensive audit to ensure they fulfil a set of strict quality and service criteria. So, for The Exchange to meet Venue of Excellence’s high standards is a huge achievement.

Just by taking one look at The Exchange, it’s easy to see why it’s part of the Venues of Excellence family. Boasting original bank vaults from its days as Birmingham’s Municipal Bank, as well as high-end furnishings, spectacular views across the city, and gorgeous stained-glass windows, The Exchange is a venue like no other.

The Exchange’s originality is something that Venues of Excellence’s CEO, Mandy Jennings, can attest: “it’s a delight to introduce The Exchange into membership. Venues of Excellence excels in promoting unique, independent venues and The Exchange is a perfect addition to our Birmingham collection of venues.”

Having only opened to the public on 2 October, The Exchange’s Venues of Excellence membership will help to establish its presence as a top event venue in Birmingham. Venue Manager, Matt Knight, commented: “we’re really excited about our new partnership with Venues of Excellence. Their high standards will [help to] keep us sharp to ensure we continually deliver excellent event services at the top end of the sector”.

Could this striking building be the ideal venue for your next event or conference? Get in touch with the team to find out more about The Exchange and discuss availability.
