The Manor House

Quest Worldwide bought The Manor House in April 1993. At the time The Manor House had been empty for two years and was very run down but Quest’s vision was clear. The Manor House would not simply be a head office for Quest, but would be developed into a dedicated conference venue at which we could hold residential workshops and training for our clients.

Several phases of refurbishment and investment led to the grand opening in April 1995 and initially a range of open programmes was combined with courses for Quest’s clients. In 2000 The Manor House expanded further, with the addition of a new office wing and more bedrooms and the venue achieved full conference capability. At this point, demand for use of the conference space was high from external clients and today The Manor House welcomes many non-Quest clients.

However, the original purpose of creating this venue remains the same. Training, dynamic events and focused workshops are central to Quest’s approach of transferring knowledge and capability to our clients. Productive working environments are an important part of this and, while much of our work is undertaken outside the UK, The Manor House is a great example of the dedicated, business-focused surroundings which are conducive to achieving effective results.
