Edgbaston Stadium has secured the services of Ellis Salsby Ltd
to source accommodation for guests attending events at the world
famous cricket venue's new conference and banqueting suite.
Edgbaston - which unveiled a new exhibition hall, banqueting
suite and other meeting and event space in the summer as part of a
£32 million development - is using the Kidderminster-based
hotel booking agency to secure preferential rates for customers at
leading hotels across the city.
Jamie Nevin, General Manager of Edgbaston Stadium's Hospitality,
Conference & Events division, said: "We're committed to
providing the best possible experience for all clients, and working
with Ellis Salsby Ltd ensures that their accommodation needs are
managed by experts and available at the best price possible.
"The company boasts a great reputation within the industry as a
leading hotel booking agency and it offers a similar service at
many other recognised venues across Europe. We look forward to
working with the team."
Ellis Salsby, Managing Director, said: "The redevelopment of
Edgbaston has not only made it one of the leading cricket stadiums
in the world, but also one of the most exciting conference and
events venues.
"Many leading brands are already staging events at the Stadium
and we're looking forward to working with these clients to ensure
that our relationship with the city's leading hotels gives them
complete piece of mind ahead of their event."
The new conference and banqueting centre at Edgbaston was opened
in the summer by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. The development also
transformed the Stadium into one of the world's leading cricket
venues and the second biggest in the UK with a capacity of
25,000.
