Grass Roots Meetings & Events continued to
demonstrate its knowledge and relationships with leading venues and hotels when
it showcased the new Hilton Bankside to more than 40 corporates from the
finance, energy and professional service sectors including Newsquest Specialist

experience the hotel's extensive offering, which includes extensive meeting
space, accommodation and high quality catering.
“Supplier relationships and industry knowledge sit at the
heart of our offering, whether that be SMM programmes or the delivery of major
events and their associated services,” comments David Taylor, Managing Director of Grass Roots Meetings &
Events. “Our close ties to the supply side of the market allow us to
organise these exclusive events on a global scale ensuring our clients
continually benefit from our knowledge and expertise.”
“This
was the first corporate hotel launch I have been too in some time and I was
really impressed. The hotel has done a fantastic job of bringing the
local area inside the property, Hilton have perfectly balanced a boutique feel
with their international renowned levels of quality,” said Dione Jarvis, event
manager at DAC Beachcroft. “It was a pleasure to be hosted by Grass Roots who
continue to amaze us with their creativity, honesty and agility when it comes
to delivering on our event requirements. They understand us and our brand and
continually deliver events of the highest calibre.”
Sarah Leeson,
Global Account Director for Hilton Hotels commented: “Hilton are constantly
looking for new ways to develop, in London this includes the opening of new
products in key locations that support growth in demand and the changing needs
of the city. Our partnership with Grass Roots allows us to move way
beyond the hard sell and let buyers experience properties such as Hilton London
Bankside at innovative client events, allowing them to truly understand both
our offering and ethos.”
Natalie Richards,
Head of Events at Newsquest Specialist Media commented:
“Tonight has been yet another fantastic experience organised by Grass Roots and
Hilton Hotels. The property itself exceeded my expectations. In fact it doesn't
even feel like a hotel, more like a luxury home combined with superb meeting
space. As for Grass Roots, it is their knowledge and experience of hotels
and venues like this that ensures we keep working with them. They understand
the market, they understand us and above all else they exhibit the highest
levels of customer service balanced with a friendly approachable service.”
