Lorraine Francisco, 12 November 2008

Venturi’s Table Corporate Cookery Centre reported a 67% increase in Christmas bookings taken in September and October, despite the current economic climate.

Venturi has hosted 2,500 people since April this year. Reasons behind the increase in bookings have been attributed to companies wanting to reward staff and keep staff morale high in these turbulent times.

"Yearly rewarding staff with a Christmas party is important for us and this year it is non-negotiable," said property development and investment company Helical Bar senior development executive Duncan Walker.

"It is important that business carry on with as much a sense of normality as possible to inspire and maintain confidence. Treating staff is essential to long term stability."

Venturi's teambuilding packages cost £135 per person and involves groups creating Italian meals with expert chefs on hand to help.
