Fantastic B4 Classic Event in the brand new, high tech Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre at Worcester College
B4, in association with Conference Oxford were proud to invite B4 Members and their guests to experience the delights of Oxford’s newest venue: the sleek and modern Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre at Worcester College on Thursday 7th December, with speeches from Prof. Sir Jonathan Bate, Provost of Worcester College, Richie Carter, Contracts Manager of Beard Construction, Mike Naworynsky, Home Bursar of Pembroke College & Chairman of Conference Oxford and Richard Rosser, CEO of B4.
Professor Sir Jonathan Bate, Provost of Worcester College commented: “We were delighted to welcome B4 and Conference Oxford as joint hosts, for the classic event yesterday evening, to showcase the Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre which we consider to be our ‘jewel in the crown’ of Worcester College.”
B4’s Richard Rosser added: “We have enjoyed a fantastic relationship with Conference Oxford this year, working closely with Marie O’Connor and Chairman, Mike Naworynsky. Successful events at St Anne’s, Christ Church and St Antony’s opened up a world of new venues to the B4 community, however, there was a surprise event in store. Little over a month before the event on 7th December, we were invited by Caroline Trevers, Worcester College’s Head of Conference and Accommodation to hold an event in the recently opened Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre, with a capacity of 160.
“How could we say no? This state of the art new facility was constructed by Beard Construction and dedicated by Worcester alumnus, HRH Sultan Nazrin Shah of Perak, Malaysia. Situated by the lake, overlooking the gardens and the cricket pavilion, the Sultan Nazrin Shah Centre offers a world-class venue for conferences and events.”
Marie O’Connor, Manager of Conference Oxford who co-hosted the evening commented: “Conference Oxford were delighted to co-host this B4 Classic Event at Worcester College. It gave us the opportunity to highlight one of our stunning member venues to the local business community and to celebrate our continuing partnership with B4.”
