Corporate Hospitality – Are you paying over the odds?

Tom Warsop, Managing Director at Watchfromabox.com, is exasperated that corporate hospitality buyers do not realise that there are huge savings to be made by booking direct.

"Many people book via an agent in order to save time or because they see it as the only means of purchase, but there is a premium to be paid for this service. Using a portal like ours, the customer avoids this heavy premium, saves even more time and still gains access to the same level of service. This book smart approach ensures organisations can give clients the same hospitality service, but with less of a hit on their balance sheets!"

For instance

A party of ten could save £550 on hospitality packages in the Greenyard Restaurant on the highly popular Ladies' Day, at Royal Ascot. The Greenyard package costs £490 per person through an agency, rather than the official price of £435.

Tom goes on to explain, “Unlike traditional hospitality agents, Watchfromabox.com does not purchase packages to re-sell at a premium. It differentiates itself by providing a portal for venues themselves to present and update information on all official hospitality packages and therefore is able to sell at face value. This means, we can provide the full range of official hospitality packages available at venues throughout the UK and importantly are accountable to both client and venue”.
