10 or More - Hotels for Groups’ Post

As August draws to a close we are now entering peak conference, trade-show and corporate events season in the UK, which runs between September and November. We always advise our clients to book as soon as possible for this time of year, and to the consider that high hotel occupancy levels from corporate events can have a bearing on hotel availability and rates. For a comprehensive proposal for your next group hotel stay and/or events space for a corporate event, trade show, meeting or conference, contact the team at hello@10ormore.co.uk #conferenceseason #hotelsforgroups #venuesourcing #hotelsforevents #businesstravel #meetingsandevents #10ormore

10 or More - Hotels for Groups were proud to be a sponsor of the Tony Awards on Friday evening. Thank you to our clients Eat to the Beat and Global Infusion Group for inviting us to help celebrate their impressive 40 years in business. ETTB and GIG are pioneers in their industry and we enjoy organising their crew accommodation for some of the world's biggest events. Here's to the next 40 years in business! 💥

As we approach the end of another year the 10 or More team would like to wish all our clients and hotel suppliers a wonderful Christmas. We look forward to seeing you on the other side, in 2024! For anyone needing to contact us over the Christmas break, we are monitoring our emails for anything urgent and you can contact us in the usual way, or at hello@10ormore.com

We have many wonderful clients, but one of our longest and most loyal clients is the fabulous band Metronomy. We have really enjoyed looking after their tour hotel accommodation since we launched #10orMore back in 2019. We were approached recently to see if we could help source some donations of hotel accommodation in London for a fundraiser this weekend, dreamt up by the most amazing 8 year old boy Ravi, who is the son of one of the band. The #RavisDream fundraiser this weekend is a fashion show where all the models are young people who have (or have had) brain tumours. Ravi was the winner of the Child of Courage award at the 2023 Pride of Britain Awards, and he has a dream of raising £250,000 for brain tumour charities, having been affected by a tumour himself. Last year he began his fundraising with a version of ‘A Million Dreams’ from The Greatest Showman that featured people like Paloma Faith, Damon Albarn, Bastille and Metronomy with cameos in the video from Coldplay, Mary Berry, Hugh Jackman and more. You can check the video and see more about his story here: https://lnkd.in/eudH-bsX We would like to say the BIGGEST #thankyou to two very kind hotels, Holiday Inn Camden Lock and Staycity Group (Wilde Aparthotel Paddington) for their generous donations of hotel accommodation in London for some of the young models taking part this weekend. This has enabled those young people living outside of London to travel and be part of the fundraiser. This means so very much to Ravi and the Ravi's Dream team. If anyone would like to donate to Ravi's Dream and help to raise money for brain tumour charities, you can do so here: www.ravisdream.com #RavisDream #HolidayInnCamdenLock #StayCity #WildeAparthotelPaddington #thankyou #10orMore #HotelsforGroups

Interest amongst our clients for Serviced Apartments and Aparthotels is growing rapidly, especially for stays which are longer than a few nights. According to the Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report (GSAIR) 2023, popularity of serviced apartments is on the rise globally, seeing the largest UK rise in London, with a 64% growth. Serviced apartments are increasingly popular with those travelling for business, giving the business traveller more space to live and work during their stay. Travellers enjoy the convenience of having hotel-style services such as housekeeping and onsite F&B coupled with the option of relaxing or working in either the communal sociable spaces or in their own private apartment. For serviced apartment advice and recommendations, and to gain access to our specially negotiated group rates, contact us at hello@10ormore.com #servicedapartments #aparthotels #groupaccommodation #businesstravel #travelforbusiness #10ormore

It's fair to say we love hotels. We love working with them, we love talking about them and of course we love staying in them! Since we launched our hotel agency in 2019 we have been members of beam (formally HBAA), the trade association which represents the business events, accommodation and meetings sector. A sector which is worth £31.2 billion to the UK. Yesterday our MD Debbie Robinson attended Beam's Agency Engagement Meeting, an opportunity for hotel agency leaders to come together to have an open mic discussion. Thank you to HotStats for an informative presentation demonstrating current data trends for the UK hotel industry, which was very insightful. Thank you also to Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland | Formerly Jurys Inn for hosting the Agency Engagement Meeting and dinner afterwards at #LeonardoRoyalTowerBridge, and for the overnight hotel stay at #LeonardoRoyalLondonCity
