    Hotel Designs is pleased to announce the arrival of Hamish Kilburn as the brand’s new editor.

    Kilburn, former features editor of SPACE, was most recently an account manager at sports and destination PR and marketing agency Sponge Marketing. During his role, he worked on a number of campaigns for the likes of Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc. and Nevis Tourism Authority.

    “I am delighted to be checking back into the hotel industry,” said Kilburn on his appointment. “More than anything, I’m looking forward to catching up with incredible international interior designers, architects, procurement companies and manufacturers to unlock emerging trends.”

    Bringing with him a wealth of industry experience, Kilburn looks forward to expanding the specialist content that Hotel Designs is so well known for.

    With his ample experience as a writer, Hotel Designs looks forward to seeing where Kilburn can take the brand in the future as we look to broaden our reach.

    “We are thrilled to be welcoming Hamish to the team. With a huge number of industry contacts to call upon, we are keen to see what his plans are for Hotel Designs and where he will make an impact. We have key features planned in the coming months including news on what the big hotel chains are doing right now, the latest technology on offer to hoteliers and operators and a spotlight on soft furnishings as well as trending fabrics and textiles, plus lots more” said Katy Phillips, publisher of Hotel Designs.

    “In addition, we also have a number of highly focused events planned where you’ll be able to meet with Hamish to discuss your brands and products – the Hotel Summit now in its 20th year, takes place on June 4th and 5th. In addition, we are taking our Meet Up event to Manchester in July because of demand to host one of our successful networking events in the region.  If you are a hotelier, interior designer, architect or supplier to the hotel industry you cannot miss these events.”

    Kilburn can be contacted on email or by phone; 01992 374103.
