Our Story
I started wallacespace in 2001 because I couldn’t find a decent meetings venue, for love nor money, anywhere in London. All the places I used or visited were grey, dull & dusty. Service slack, lacked vision. Expensive, inflexible and overall just bad value. If I couldn’t find what I wanted, I’d have to make it myself.
Today, wallacespace is a family-owned, self-funded, independent business. It’s run by me & my husband Roy, in tandem with our team of highly skilled and committed people who are interesting and interested, funny and refreshing to be around. Together we have helped our clients to plan and execute hundreds of thousands of meetings, creative workshops, training programmes. You might say we’re experts. We’ve helped people feel good, think better & achieve more.
Less ‘just a meeting’. More ‘memorable experiences’.
What we’ve learnt:
- most people are simply, really nice. If they’re a bit spikey or short tempered, 9 times out of 10 it’s because they are under some kind of pressure and that pressure dissipates with the simplest of things: a smile, a friendly welcome & ‘coffee?’
- environment is all-important: it’s not just what you think/learn/plan, it’s where you do it that matters.
- Listen to your clients to truly understand what they want & understand that they don’t always know what they need.
- Value is everything. Buy cheap, buy twice.
- Small actions deliver great outcomes.
- Attention to detail and anticipating what people need in the moment, is everything.
- If it can go wrong, it will go wrong. It’s what we do about it that sets us apart.
Where we’re going
Wallacespace continues to evolve. We are committed to considering, reconsidering, refreshing or just plain changing what we do, because we can and so that we continue to deliver what you want, when you want it.
