Demand AIM

AIM which is endorsed by VisitBritain, Visit England, Visit Wales and Meeting Professionals International is the scheme designed by the Meetings Industry Association to aid you, the Buyer, as you strive to find the very best venue for your next meeting.

AIM measures the facilities of venues and the legal compliance of venues and suppliers and as all participants in the scheme have signed the Meetings CODE you can be sure that they are people you will feel comfortable doing business with.


We check all these things so you don't have to:	We insist that AIM accredited venues & suppliers comply to these ACTS:
The location & accessibility of the meeting room/s & the overall facilities provided.	Health & Safety at Work and Fire Safety
How the meeting room/s are heated and lit?	Disability, Sex & Age Discrimination, and Race Relations
What levels of security do the meeting rooms offer?	Employers Liability
How often are the rooms cleaned and decorated?	Data Protection
Whether the space and furniture are adequate and suitable?	Sale & Supply of Goods
The provision of in-room services such as power sockets?	Trade Descriptions
What is supplied at no extra charge?	Consumer Protection
How transparent are the published prices?	Weights & Measures, Licensing Laws
If they score less than 60% of the 50 facilities grading criteria they don't qualify for AIM!	If they don't comply they don't qualify for AIM!

We make sure that all AIM accredited venues and suppliers are the sort of people you want to do business with by insisting that they abide by the Meetings CODE demanding:
CONSISTENCY
OPENNESS
DECENCY
ETHICS
And just to make sure we have covered all the bases we ensure that all AIM accredited venues have written contracts in place which include charges, payments and cancellation charges
so there will be no surprises awaiting you!

And that's not all we measure!
AIM at our SILVER & GOLD levels measure customer service from the first contact through to the 'on the day' experience and in the unlikely event that they receive a complaint, we
even measure how they deal with it!
And if they don't agree to this they don't qualify for AIM!

So for a truly worry free event demand AIM
