BDRC raises more than £100k for Meeting Needs through VenueVerdict

BDRC Continental, the UK’s largest independent research consultancy, has handed over more than £100,000 during the last 10 years to events industry charity Meeting Needs.

The money has been raised through the promotion of BDRC’s feedback service VenueVerdict, where every completed response from customers triggers a donation of 50p to Meeting Needs.

At the charity partner event held on 19 October, Jennifer Jenkins, Chair of Meeting Needs acknowledged BDRC’s outstanding contribution and said: “BDRC’s commitment to Meeting Needs is second to none and we are very grateful indeed for the company’s continued generosity. Their contributions fund important projects that change many lives for the better.”

Dr Cris Tarrant, CEO BDRC Group commented: “We are delighted to support Meeting Needs. The whole team is so proud to be part of this initiative and achieve this incredible milestone that really does make a difference to so many worthwhile causes around the world. I would urge everyone involved in the events industry to support Meeting Needs as their charity partner of choice and like us, feel fortunate that our donations can touch so many lives.”
