APRIL 2009
2009 Planning Summit
Meeting Place Communications is celebrating the success of its 2009
Planning Summit. Held at The Bath Priory Hotel, the Summit drew together over 30 leading industry figures from a range of companies, including major housebuilders, commercial developers and planning consultants. They were joined by politicians from across the political divides, for an afternoon considering recent changes in planning legislation and the likely effects on the industry of an incoming Conservative government. One happy guest commented "A stunning venue with excellent food, and a good range of attendees - you must have been very pleased with how things went."
MPC would like to thank the kitchens of Michelin starred chef Michael Caines for the excellent lunch, and looks forward to welcoming back guests to other events during the course of the year.

MPC expanding despite credit crunch
Meeting Place Communications is delighted to announce the arrival of two new members of staff.
James Barry joins us as a Senior Account Manager, with a background of 15 years commercial and project management experience.
He recently moved from Cornwall, where he lived for 8 years whilst working at the Eden Project. James was part of the senior team that helped develop it from a clay pit through to the internationally renowned iconic symbol of sustainable regeneration it is today, as well as one of the country's most visited destinations. James was particularly involved in working with major private sector partners.
James will be managing many of MPC's major projects, with a particular focus on the renewable energy sector.
His recruitment, along with the promotion of Anna Sabine from Account Manager to Director, ensures that MPC is building its capacity to manage major schemes in a wide range of locations and sectors.
Also joining us is Ruth Burnip, our new Practice Manager. Ruth has worked in a wide variety of administrative roles for companies including Procter and Gamble and the BBC.
Her role as Practice Manager at MPC will entail managing all administrative aspects of the business, from organising our ambitious programme of events through to keeping track of all our internal processes and procedures.
Company Director Ian Thorn said "Times are pretty tough in our sector at the moment, so I'm thrilled that MPC continues to grow despite economic circumstances and that we are able to keep building our capacity to manage more projects than ever before."
MPC Christmas lunch at Lord's
Meeting Place Communications ended 2008 with a sparkling Christmas lunch at Lord's cricket ground. Held in the fantastic Writing Room, lunch was preceded by a tour of the club, while lunch was held overlooking the ground itself and the spectacular media centre.
Over 20 of Meeting Place Communications' clients attended, and Huw Morris, Editor of Planning magazine, spoke after lunch. MPC has since received many letters and emails of thanks and we hope to repeat the event in 2009.
