A CONFERENCE centre in Basingstoke has appeared in a best practice publication alongside the prime minister.

The Ark Conference and Events Centre features alongside the Theresa May and a small number of outstanding organisations in The Parliamentary Review document which looks back on the year in industry and at Westminster.

The main aim of the review is to showcase best practice as a learning tool to the public and private sector.

The PM’s former cabinet colleague, Sir Eric Pickles, who was recently appointed Chairman of the Review, said: "It has never been more important for government to hear the views of business and the public sector in a constructive forum. It is also a vital time to share best practice and progress."

The Parliamentary Review’s director Daniel Yossman added: "The Ark Conference & Events Centre and other hardworking organisations from across the country have come together to make this year’s review possible.

"Sharing knowledge and insight with both peers and government is essential work and I am delighted that this year’s review will reach every corner of the British economy. It is my belief that innovation is contagious, if only it is given the platform to spread.

"It is the review’s purpose to provide this platform and I am confident we are fulfilling it.’
