The principles laid down at the formation of this company - to look after our customers and be the very best at what we do - remain at the heart of the business throughout 2017 and beyond.

"After working for over 15 years with IHG, to have been given the opportunity to tender for and win this prestigious contract is a huge accolade for our operations team, and it shows our ability to grow in groups."
