Our client Hospitality Guaranteed celebrates 5 year success

Posted: 09/06/2011

The North's leading conference and event venue sourcing company, Hospitality Guaranteed, is celebrating 5 successful years in business this month.

Helping companies across the UK save money and find the best venues and accommodation, Hospitality Guaranteed was established in 2006 by Victoria Brunton and Amanda Jackson. With over 20 years’ joint experience of working in the hospitality and events industry they identified a gap in the market for a company that provided the business sector with specialist knowledge and expertise in sourcing the perfect venues for corporate events, training and conferencing.

Now generating revenues of around £5 million for the hotels they work with, Hospitality Guaranteed employs 7 specialist members of staff at their base in Castle Eden. They have rapidly gained major contracts in the automotive industry, food and retail sectors and the business community across the region.

The company specialises in providing a free venue finding service which saves businesses time and money. One of their key clients, a leading food retailer, has saved an average £5,000 - £10,000 a month (compared to last year) by booking their events and accommodation through Hospitality Guaranteed.

Due to their specialist knowledge and agreements with a wide range of hotels across the UK, they can identify the most suitable venue for any event. They also provide a full event management service from start to finish for conferences, training days or team building events. As well as this, they provide a travel and accommodation booking service which means that all the events they organise are seamless.

They have one of the UK’s largest training providers for the automotive industry amongst their client base, and have several large clients who they arrange training and conferencing for including some of the top 50 FTSE companies in the North East.

Hospitality Guaranteed are highly regarded in the UK hotel sector. Proving how highly, Amanda and Victoria were recently invited to an exclusive dinner at the House of Lords hosted by Lord Sebastian Coe, and the Ramada hotel group’s Director of Sales.

Commenting on their future plans, Amanda Jackson, Director at Hospitality Guaranteed explains: “We have ambitious plans to grow the business in the future and develop systems and services that are unique in our sector. As well as this we are looking at expanding into bigger premises and are currently looking into franchising the Hospitality Guaranteed brand and concepts to other locations such as Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds.”

Victoria Brunton, Director at Hospitality Guaranteed, adds: “Our vision is to be number one in our sector and to be recognised nationally for our efficient systems and excellent customer service. Our aim is to be a full service company covering all business requirements when it comes to conference and events including travel, accommodation and online bookings - we are well on our way to achieving this.”

Hospitality Guaranteed will be celebrating their 5th year by re-vamping their branding and website and launching a customer loyalty scheme and travel and conference system later this year.
In addition, the team will be running a 5km charity fun run on 31 June 2011 in aid of their designated charity, the Sunshine Fund.
