Venues Event Management recently held a speed dating event at their premises near Swindon. The event was attended by a number of supplier contacts from various hotel groups, who enjoyed several 'dates' with members of the Venues Event Management team.

Venues Event Management have always prided themselves on their excellent supplier relationships. The objective of the speed dating day was to further develop open communication between agency and supplier and ensure strong relationships continue.

The day was very successful, with mutually beneficial information being shared and ideas for more efficient ways of working discussed and agreed. Members of staff taking in part in the speed dating covered a variety of disciplines including; client managers from a number of our key accounts which include, BP, Morgan Stanley, AXA, MAN Truck and Bus, Hyundai and Royal Mail, as well as sales, marketing, procurement and finance.

Jeanette Sutherland, Corporate National Account Manager for Marriott Hotels commented:

“What a wonderful and productive day. I found it extremely valuable.”

Hayley Stokes, National Agency Sales Manager for Principle Hayley Hotels and Conference Venues added:

“It was a really well organised and useful day, I think it should become a regular event.”

Anita Lowe, Chief Executive of Venues Event Management summarised the day by commenting:

“Our relationships with our suppliers are as important as the ones with our clients – one doesn’t work without the other. In this climate we have to work together and our partnerships are very much a two way street. Our speed dating day was a fun way of sharing information and discussing how we can further support each other.”
