We can help you choose the perfect meeting location

You can’t always get away from work so we are happy to travel to meet you but sometimes it’s good to get away from your office. Leadout Projects are based in the beautiful Peak District National Park in northern England so if you want to step back from your business to focus on strategy planning, we have some perfect locations for meetings.

Here is a local venue we really like:

Hathersage Hall Business Centre is 20 minutes from Sheffield mainline train station so ideal for access by public transport as well as by car, and again set in wonderful surroundings.
