THE Cotswold Conference Centre at Farncombe House in Broadway has received a top accreditation in the hospitality industry.

It is the only training and conference centre in Worcest-ershire and Gloucestershire to have been accredited to Hospitality Assured for the Meetings Industry, a service quality kitemark within the industry.

The team at the centre has been working towards the assessment for the last 12 months.

Sales manager Nick Akerman said: "Business tourism is an important contributor to this area's economy. We need to look after our visitors. This accreditation says we do it rather well."
