"morning and now have a great to do list.. thanks again for your and Tara's hospitality,
"the whole ambience was just right." Denise Hart, Branch Manager, Kelly Services New Zealand
Purpose-built for business, here are some of the situations that
have inspired the development of the Business Lounge:
- Commercial travellers setting up for the day. Simply book a booth and have this as your base. Recharge your batteries, check and send emails, have a complimentary coffee or tea (always available). If you need to receive faxes throughout the day, we can forward them to you via email. Combine the Lounge with our Virtual Office services and you have great flexibility and effectiveness. If you have meetings or presentations in the Lounge, we will meet and greet your guests. You can be the host with the most providing information and a complete (gorgeous) change of scene.
- Organisations delivering training sessions. The SPACE is engineered for presenting and
round-table discussion with the BOOTHS and couch settings providing 6 breakout areas (see the section below for more details).
- Testing or delivering presentations. Just bring your Powerpoint file on a memory stick or CD (or smarter yet, email it to us in advance and we can have it all set up for you with handout materials printed too, by the time you arrive). Play a DVD, select your own music selection - the SPACE
is a dream for presenters. Please note: We can also video your presentation for you to critique,
and/or professional business speaker (and E2theMax owner) Jacqui Jones can provide feedback and coaching.
- Strategic metings and brainstorming sessions. A change is as good as a rest they say. We've
designed the Lounge to be a great place for resetting your thoughts on the way business can be done.
- Staff interviews or offsite confidential meetings. The technology built into the SPACE provides sound control and a great environment. Privacy can be increased with the option of booking the PLACE.
- Small conferences run with immense flexibility in the one venue. With concierge-like service, we can take care of the details while you focus on the business at hand. We are happy to work with your usual conference planner or to take care of arrangements for you.
Closer focus on the SPACE:
- AV equipment is integral to the area we call the SPACE (including a laptop, projector, screen
and remote pointer). You don't have to worry about arranging any of this it is all included.
- We have invested in the most comfortable exec chairs you'll find.
- NZ's most innovative table solution provides 7 standard options for the set up of the SPACE.
At break times we can rearrange the room to suit your next session needs.
- Purpose-built with walls and ceiling of insulated Noiseline, even the light fittings have Noiseline
cones to maximise sound control. This creates a wonderful ambience, a restfulness in which to
settle and focus.
- Double-glazed trifold doors with frosted panelling create a unique atmosphere. These full-height
doors can be closed without creating a feeling of being closed in or opened right back to maximise
the SPACE within the PLACE, or provide a large theatre environment.
- One-touch lighting and AV control by Hawke's Bay business Eastek, makes the
Business Lounge SPACE easy to use and a presenter's dream.
