Venues of Excellence, the UK’s leading sales and marketing consortium for independent venues, have just announced two new partnerships for their Preferred Partner Programme.
The primary objective for the Preferred Partner Programme, is to find products and services to the hospitality sector who are at the top of their league and who would like to partner with the consortium, enabling engagement and networking with our member venues and their customers. With quality, customer service and outstanding levels operational delivery at the forefront, all partners undertake a quality audit before being admitted into the programme.
Bright Vision Events, who were first introduced to Venues of Excellence at the Annual Conference this year, specialise in conferences, team building, exhibitions, virtual and hybrid conferencing, and working with venues and their clients to create innovative themed events. It was a natural step to discuss how both organisations could work together and for Bright Vision Events to be promoted within the membership. Managing Director, Ben Hull on joining the preferred partner programme said: “I am really pleased and excited to have formalised our preferred partnership with Venues of Excellence who have an unrivalled portfolio of venue members. Venues of Excellence as an organisation share the same values as us, striving for quality and high levels of customer service over anything else. These shared values enable both Bright Vision Events and Venues of Excellence the opportunity of providing members with unique and innovative event services delivered to the highest standards. Bright Vision Events look forward to working alongside the Venues of Excellence team to deliver the top levels of audio-visual support alongside industry leading team building events.”
Leopold Marketing was first introduced to Venues of Excellence when they were seeking an exhibition design build partner, to rebrand and refresh the presence for Venues of Excellence and their stand partners at a number of UK Exhibitions. After The Meetings Show, earlier in the year, the synergy between the two organisations has led to a formal 3-year partnership to provide Venues of Excellence with key exhibition support, combined with a range of other products and services which Leopold Marketing can promote to the members. On signing the contract with Venues of Excellence, Leo Platt, Managing Director at Leopold Marketing said: “Leopold Marketing is thrilled to be joining the Venues of Excellence preferred partner programme. As a marketing agency that works exclusively in the venue and destination marketing arena, the fit between Venues of Excellence, members and Leopold Marketing could not be any better. We really look forward to forging friendships with members and working together to deliver truly excellent venue marketing.”
The Preferred Partner Programme is an integral part of the Venues of Excellence membership benefits, with companies ranging from food and beverage suppliers to recruitment services, and furniture suppliers. Mandy Jennings, CEO, Venues of Excellence, says, “We are proud to collaborate with our Preferred Partners to help foster relationships with our members. Venues of Excellence welcomes Bight Vision Events and Leopold Marketing to our Preferred Partner portfolio, and we look forward to working with them creating fantastic events and marketing design and support for our exhibitions in the coming years.”
