Butlin’s joins HBAA
Butlin’s Conference and Events has joined the HBAA, one of the leading associations for the events and hospitality industry.
The HBAA has more than 300 member organisations, including over 80 agency and 225 venue members who work collaboratively in the accommodation, meetings and events sector.
Butlin’s’ resorts in the coastal towns of Bognor Regis, Minehead and Skegness, with their large entertainment venues, theatres, meeting rooms, fairgrounds and themes restaurants, host events for up to 1,600 delegates. Previous clients include Virgin Atlantic, Holland & Barrett, Argos, Sainburys and Son.
The HBAA drives, promotes and models good business between its members. It champions best practice, ethical working and sound commercial judgement.
Butlin’s agency sales manager Ellie Jones said: "I am a huge supporter of the HBAA and what the association stands for within the MICE industry.
"Having been both an agency member and venue member in my previous roles, there was no question about signing up Butlin’s to be members of the HBAA.
"With access to such a great support network of industry professionals, along with the many other benefits of being part of the HBAA, we look forward to a long and engaging relationship with the association."
