Milton Hill House Introduces Allergen Emergency Kits
Milton Hill House has announced the introduction of allergen emergency kits, strengthening its commitment to delegate, guest and staff safety.
The initiative responds to a growing industry focus on improving preparedness for allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. With an estimated 2.5 million people in the UK living with a diagnosed allergy – and research indicating that almost half of those prescribed adrenaline auto-injectors do not carry them consistently – immediate access to emergency support can be critical.
The allergen kits are supplied by Kitt Medical, a specialist provider of anaphylaxis emergency equipment. They will be stored in clearly designated locations throughout Milton Hill House and supported by trained team members who are equipped to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an allergic emergency.
Joanne Barratt, Managing Director of The Venues Collection, said:
“Events should be welcoming, inclusive and, above all, safe for everyone attending. Introducing allergen emergency kits across all our venues is a practical but important step that reinforces our responsibility to guests, organisers and our own teams. It’s about being prepared, reducing risk and giving people confidence that their wellbeing is taken seriously from the moment they arrive.”
The introduction of allergen emergency kits complements Milton Hill House’s existing allergen management procedures, including detailed pre-event communication with organisers, clear food labelling, trained catering and front-of-house teams, and robust operational protocols. Together, these measures form part of the venue’s wider health, safety and duty-of-care approach, ensuring the team is prepared to support both planned catering requirements and unexpected incidents.
