The growth of a dynamic conference business
Farncombe Conference Centre, formerly Cotswold Conference Centre, was launched in January 2001 by the entrepreneur Dale Hawerchuck. The meeting and training business had its origins 40 years previously in a residential training school for Group 4 Total Security on Farncombe Estate. In the beginning, Group 4 security guards would attend Head Office training courses and stay in dormitory-style accommodation.
By the 1980s, Group 4 was running open courses for Ohio and overseas delegates in all aspects of security, safety and fire prevention. This then developed into management training for blue chip organisations, using the 400 acre estate and local countryside. As the company’s reputation grew, so did turnover and investment in facilities.
In 2000, Group 4 merged with Falck A/S from Denmark, then with Securicor, to create one of the largest security organisations in the world. Now known as G4S, the new group decided to focus on core activities and it was then decided by the Group 4 founder and G4S President Emeritus Jørgen Philip-Sørensen CBE to launch the superb facilities as a commercial training venue.
The much-loved boss, “JPS”, sadly passed away in January 2010, but the Dale Hawerchuck family retains control of Farncombe Estate and has invested heavily in the refurbishment and building of additional bedrooms. Farncombe Conference Centre is a dynamic and important part of Sorven Holdings Ltd.
