Overview

The rides worked. The meeting rooms didn’t.

Drayton Manor Resort is a staple of the British theme park industry, with no end of guests excitedly coming through the gates. Its internal meeting rooms were a different story.

Each room had a slightly different AV setup. The equipment was disparate, unreliable, and difficult to use, so whether it was a team meeting in the room or a remote call with colleagues across the wider Looping Group, Drayton Manor’s owners, the rooms went unused.

Drayton Manor’s Andrew Davies looked to Shure’s technology lineup and settled on its IntelliMix Room Kits. IUF, with its expertise in meeting room spaces, integrated them into each room, tailored to size but built on the same principle: seamless Microsoft Teams integration, plug-and-play setup, and studio-quality audio from a single system.

Journey & Experience

Walk in. Tap. Meet.

The aim was simple: rooms that people trust, so they actually use them.

  • Join with a single touch: for team meetings in the room or calls with colleagues across the Looping Group
  • No training needed: users no longer have to learn multiple disparate systems before they can run a meeting
  • Clear sound and picture: crystal-clear audio and high-quality video, so everyone in the meeting can see and hear each other properly
  • Consistent in every room: rooms are tailored to size but work the same way, so moving between them is effortless

The result is the difference between a meeting room that exists and one that actually gets used.
