The Port of Middlesbrough is home to The Staiths building, a distinctive riverside venue where the activity of a working port provides an impressive backdrop for meetings, conferences and events.
Combining industrial heritage with modern facilities, it offers a space for organisations looking to bring people together, share ideas, celebrate and plan.
In recent years The Staiths has established itself as one of the Tees region’ s trusted venues for business events, conferences and team away days.
Organisations including the NHS, Tees Valley Business Club, Tees Business, Insider Media, Tees Maritime and Cleveland Police to name but a few have all chosen the venue to host meetings, panel discussions and flagship events.
The venue, which is also AV Dawson’ s headquarters, stands out not only for its location but also for its strong connection to the company’ s nearly 90-year history.
Elements of that heritage can be seen throughout the building, giving it a sense of character and place.
Alongside this, guests benefit from modern conference facilities, including flexible event spaces for up to 120 people, high-quality AV, ample free parking, disabled access and freshly prepared catering.
The Boardroom – provides a more formal environment for up to 20 guests and is well suited to high‐level meetings, presentations and strategic away days.
“ What keeps organisations returning is the combination of practical facilities, attentive support and excellent food,” says AV Dawson’ s senior events coordinator Emma Littlewood.
“ The experienced events team works closely with organisers to ensure every event runs smoothly, whether it’ s a board meeting, workshop, networking event or large-scale conference.”
