Business Affiliate Membership is a unique opportunity for companies wishing to work in partnership with the concierge of many of the Leading hotels.
Hotel guests trust their Concierge to guide their decisions and signpost them to all sorts of products, services and requirements. It is essential therefore that the Concierges stay abreast of current trends. This is one area in which Associate Members are invaluable to The Society.
The Business Affiliate Members of our society represent companies who want to promote their services by developing a close business partnership with the concierge.
They are an exclusive group of well-established, sound and professional businesses, carefully selected for being outstanding in their field. There is a strict selection process requiring a minimum trading period of five years, any proposed membership is announced at the Concierge meeting. The application, once successful, is then announced at the next General Meeting. Membership fees to be discussed on application.
