Crosswater becomes Partner for Hotel Designs’ MEET UP networking events

Crosswater will attend both MEET UP London and MEET UP North as a partner…

Following the company being the headline partner of The Brit List Awards 2019, British bathroom manufacturer Crosswater has been announced as a partner for Hotel Designs’ premium networking events in 2020.

MEET UP London takes place on May 13 at Minotti London, and MEET UP North that takes place in Manchester on July 6.

“To this end, we are very excited to be involved in the first MEET UP London and MEET UP North in Manchester.” – Richard Ticehurst, head of trade marketing and training at Crosswater.

Richard Ticehurst, head of trade marketing and training at Crosswater said of the announcement: “At Crosswater, we are committed to making decisions on design, manufacture, marketing and our supply chain based on strong market insights from across the industry. One of our guiding values is to ‘focus on the user, and all else will follow’. This doesn’t just mean the end-user, it means we want to understand all the critical perspectives in a project from designer, hotelier and developer and integrate them into our offer. To this end, we are very excited to be involved in the first MEET UP London and MEET UP North in Manchester and look forward to some great interactions.”

Having previously supported Hotel Designs by being the headline partner of The Brit List Awards, Crosswater will attend the regional networking events which last year bridged the gap between more than 400 design and hospitality professionals. “We are fully committed to host our networking events in locations and venues that are at the heart of the hotel design community,” said editor Hamish Kilburn. “We hope that Meet Up London and Meet Up North, which include relevant themes and talks at both, help to build seamless relationships as well as inspire the industry to further push boundaries in design and hospitality.”

EARLY RELEASE tickets to the events have expired. Look out for announcements to launch our EARLY BIRD tickets at the end of the month…
