Ensure all eyes are on your company and network with Scotland’s most successful hospitality providers whilst enjoying a glamorous night out in support of the industry.

Just a few reasons why you should sponsor the Scottish Hotel Awards: • Develop your relationship with Scotland’s premium hospitality providers • Create a strong association between your brand, trade partners and guests • Meet senior decision makers from the hospitality industry’s leading companies • Build a valuable network of business contacts • Generate lucrative new business opportunities • Gain valuable PR coverage via national (and international) print, online and direct mail campaigns • Benefit from high profile branding at the Scottish Hotel Awards gala dinner and awards ceremony, and post-event party We recognise that sponsorship is much more than simply associating your brand with an event.
