How they use us

What does Livv Housing Group use the Maggie O'Neill Centre for?

  • Aspiring leaders training, for people growing into leadership roles.
  • Meeting space for different departments, whenever they need it.
  • Company-wide training, run over weeks and months.
  • A backup venue when the conference rooms at their own office are fully booked.
The backup room

Why use a venue when you have your own meeting rooms?

Even with conference rooms of your own, some weeks everything's booked. If you already know a venue, a meeting can move here easily. Nobody has to learn a new building or a new way of booking. And parking is free when they arrive.

14 years on

What do 14 years of bookings look like?

Fourteen years is a lot of training days. Programmes have come and gone, and teams have changed. But the bookings keep coming. Some are programmes that run for months. Some are a single meeting that needs a room.

Whatever Livv needs, we're here for all of it.

For your team

What could this look like for your organisation?

  • One venue for training, meetings and the overflow.
  • Programmes that run for weeks or months, booked with one venue.
  • A room for a single meeting when your own are full, if we have one free.
  • We're in the borough, so your spend stays in Knowsley and funds Maggie's Meals.
