a short history of Quest Worldwide Colleges

Quest Worldwide Consulting, founded in 1988, is a global management consultancy working for multi-national organisations in all sectors specialising in strategy implementation, operational excellence and people engagement.

Quest Worldwide Consulting bought The Manor House in April 1993. It had been empty for two years and was very run down.

There were several phases of refurbishment. First it was made habitable and the consulting business was just run from what is now Porter meeting room.

Then the upstairs bedrooms (13) were refurbished, allowing us to accomodate clients for residential workshops and training. QWW Colleges (The Manor House) was born.

We invested in a range of open programmes and launched the service and the centre at a grand opening in April 1995. We gradually pulled back from open programmes and reverted to bringing consultant clients in and selling the available meeting space.

In January 2000 – the new wing was finished comprising of 18 en suite bedrooms, gymnasium and saunas. Winner of Civic Design Awards 2000 and Highly Commended in Waverley Design Awards 2001

Now – a dedicated conference and training centre where the traditions of hospitality, comfort and friendliness are blended with first class hotel facilities to produce a unique, professional business environment.
