Welcome to our most delicious newsletter yet packed with appetising ideas for meeting venues laced with gourmet delights courtesy of the incomparable Gordon Ramsay. The Michelin star chef's London restaurants are ideal for off-site meetings where elegance, style and privacy are top of the menu.

We've barely had time to rest after the busy World Cup season with events all over the city from historic Christ Church at Spitalfields to an adrenalin packed day racing sports cars. But we're already looking forward to the sporting event of the decade – the 2012 Olympic Games.
And after redesigning our website we also overhauled our hotel booking engine. Check out our special rates for all the top hotels in your favourite destinations such as London, Cyprus and Malta.

Make history at The Warrington
Tucked away in peaceful Maida Vale, just 10 minutes from the bustling west end, The Warrington is an original British pub with bags of character and centuries of tradition. Originally a hotel which reputedly also served as a high-class brothel, the pub is adorned with an antique mosaic floor and pillared portico and is still furnished with the same old ship interior used in its 19 th century restoration. Today the Warrington is also graced with an elegant restaurant and a private dining room for up to 14 guests. Day delegate rates start at £50 per person and include room hire, refreshments and two-course lunch. Find out more: inspiration@beyondcertainty.com

Perfect for summer evenings in the park. Drop us a line for more details: inspiration@beyondcertainty.com
Summer in the City
The World Cup kicked off a busy summer for the Beyond Certainty team but we made sure Londoners and tourists never missed a goal with a huge 4m x 3m TV screen which we set up in Devonshire Terrace's courtyard. We've been having fun organising some wonderful and eclectic events in the past weeks. For one of our corporate clients we happily mixed old and new by taking over the fantastically traditional Christ Church at Spitalfields and throwing in funky break dancers, beat boxers, a photo booth and a pick 'n mix sweet station. Talk about being creative. We also organised a summer ball at Floridita and a press launch at the Deck National Theatre welcoming Singaporean Olympic officials. And summer's not over yet. Contact us if you have any last minute venue requests. Why not treat your staff with a day out in the sun playing a round of golf? Or you might wish to re-group off-site for a brainstorming session in inspiring surroundings. We've got just the right location for you. Find out more: inspiration@beyondcertainty.com
London 2012: here we come
With only two years to go to the start of the Olympic Games in London preparations for events coinciding with the Games are already in full swing. Beyond Certainty is currently negotiating with various countries to arrange their Olympic Pavilion for the duration of the Games. We're also working with some of the Games sponsors to help organise various high profile events. Enquiries keep coming in thick and fast so if you are thinking about an event in connection with the Olympics, contact us now.
Treat your top performers
Has your team met its goals? Have your employees reached or exceeded their targets? How can you thank your top performers and motivate them further? BC has the answer. We recently took 10 top performers from one of our corporate clients to a day racing sports cars. Participants were treated to an adrenalin-drenched afternoon driving no speed restriction cars such as Formula Jaguar, Porsche 911 JP3, Palmer Jaguar JP1, Land Rover Defender, Renault Clio Cup and Caterham 7 Superlight. After all that excitement, guests chilled out at the luxurious Luton Hoo Hotel where they enjoyed dinner and overnight accommodation. For more ideas on how to treat your top staff, contact us at inspiration@beyondcertainty.com
Team Building
“Have you met the new guy in accounts? No, I didn't even know the old one had left.”
It's sad but despite spending more time in the office than at home, we barely seem to know our work colleagues. There's no better way to build real team spirit and turn your colleagues into friends than spending a day with them away from the office doing some fun activity together. Bond with your work mates as you learn to make chocolate, drive a fast Mercedes, play a round of outdoor games or acquire some circus skills. And it works. Our corporate clients report that following such an event staff are more motivated and productivity is markedly improved. We have years of experience organising fun-packed memorable team building events so contact us for more details on how we can help you and your team work better together.
