“When the pandemic hit, the team did what they do best and put our customers at the heart of everything we do. We went above and beyond to ensure we reacted quickly and implemented a number of new products and services directly tailored to our clients’ changed needs, it is wonderful to be recognised for this.
“This award means so much to the team, it has been inspiring to see them pull together, adapt and, ultimately, thrive. When face-to-face conferences and events resumed, we achieved a 98% meeting room occupancy on week of opening, with a strong sales pipeline for 2022. This is a clear sign of the renewed confidence in the market and our commitment to maintaining relationships with our clients throughout.”

“The client relationship Katie refers to above I can reference from the client side. For a number of years we have worked with The Belfry to host The Clink Charity Golf Day, in association with Meiko UK. Based on the repeated delivery of a truly exceptional experience, led by Neil Walker, Account Director, Golf, The Belfry Hotel & Resort, we continue to return each year.
“One attendee of this year’s ‘Clink’ golf event was so impressed with the day he asked us to arrange a replica for him, Robert Richardson, Chief Executive, Institute of Hospitality. So, we have now launched The Institute of Hospitality Golf Day, in association with Caterer.com.
“Needless to say it will take place at The Belfry.”
