Industry Interview<br />
Why should an Event Organiser use your<br />
hotels for their next event?<br />
We have new, fresh, vibrant hotel meeting<br />
rooms with great AV facilities and attention to<br />
detail. Our meeting planners will help create<br />
a memorable event and support organisers<br />
throughout the process. We offer dynamic,<br />
funky break time options including Starbucks,<br />
cookies, popcorn, make your own pancakes<br />
along with a selection of healthy options.<br />
Our hotels are located in fantastic locations<br />
that are great meeting points. Coventry has a<br />
meeting capacity for up to 600 delegates and<br />
is an easy two hours from many key locations<br />
with major motorways including the M1, M6,<br />
M40 and very close to the NEC.<br />
What achievements are you most proud of?<br />
I am very proud of my part in the successful<br />
launch and re-brand of DoubleTree London<br />
Hyde Park and DoubleTree Ealing Hotels in<br />
2013. Following a £20 million refurbishment<br />
programme, both hotels launched into the<br />
London market as the ninth and tenth<br />
DoubleTree Hotels in London.<br />
This was a very fast paced and exciting role<br />
and led to my new position leading the sales<br />
team through this recent rebrand process<br />
from Hilton to DoubleTree.<br />
What are your professional goals and<br />
dreams?<br />
I am excited to be part of a new, dynamic<br />
sales team embarking on our first year as a<br />
portfolio of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels. I have<br />
come in at the start of a very exciting project<br />
and I look forward to seeing all of our hard<br />
work come to fruition in <strong>2017</strong>.<br />
It’s also worth mentioning that DoubleTree<br />
Aberdeen Treetops has the largest hotel event<br />
space in the area. They recently held a Boyzlife<br />
event with over 800 local ladies in attendance.<br />
What do you love doing when not working?<br />
My job takes me to Scotland on a regular<br />
basis which is great as I get to spend time with<br />
my friends and family. I have lived in London<br />
for ten years so it is always good to go back to<br />
my Scottish home!<br />
What’s your favourite meal on the menu<br />
at your venue(s)?<br />
I absolutely love a starter at DoubleTree<br />
Aberdeen Treetops; smoked trout and<br />
beetroot cheesecake and pickled fennel.<br />
It’s delicious!<br />
I have a little girl who is three years old and<br />
I love spending my time with her.<br />
Who do you admire and why?<br />
I admire my Mum most. She worked as a<br />
midwife for over 30 years and brought thousands<br />
of babies into the world. She is a brilliant mum<br />
to my brother and me, and a fantastic granny<br />
to her three granddaughters. I aspire to have<br />
the strength, kindness and tenacity of my mum<br />
and hope I can set the same example for<br />
my daughter.<br />
