Howard Roadshow

Over 50 people gathered at City Inn on a cold, snowy Friday in January. The reason for people braving the elements was the launch of the Manchester Concierge Road Show.

This event was the first of its type in the North West and brought together front desk staff and vendors from across Greater Manchester for a day of training and networking.

The event was a huge success and Russ Green, Chairman of the Manchester Concierge Network said:

"I really believed the front desk folk in this city deserve a community event of their own but even I was taken aback by how many people braved the sub zero temperatures to be part of it".

The Road Show, which included updates on lifestyle trends and service skills, was well recieved by the audience and supported by Co-operative Travel Services, Sapporo Teppanyaki , Harvey Nichols and The Museums and Galleries Consortium.

Fellow event producer Howard Raynor, Managing Director at World Class Service, was also one of the presenters on the day:

"These people influence thousands and thousands of visitors every year the idea of bringing them together as a community with a common interest in service issues is a great idea, we were delighted to be part of it.
We will be putting information out about the community in various formats and networks, in true 2010 style we will be using Flickr, YouTube, Web site and Blogs to help build the profile of this network, we hope more people will join the enterprise for future events".
