GFTU BGCM 2017

GFTU and co operation

We want to change the hotel industry for the better and this is why created Red

Meet Event Service. We are delighted to support the GFTU and Quorn Grange

and would love have you be part of our journey.

Red Meet Event Services is a FREE conference and meeting provider dedicated to

"not for profit" organisations. Our aim is to educate the hotels/venues on the

importance of each association we work with, highlighting the huge role you play

in supporting the employees that work within your sector, lobbying government

for policy changes, safety and security to the general public and best working

practice.

We endeavour to reduce the cost of these events for you, we know how the

hotel industry works and we are sick of the way the discounted rates are only

given to the company who has the volume.

Having worked for numerous hotel groups throughout our career, we know more

can be done to support you, which is why Red Meet Event Services was created.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if there is anything at all we can do to help,

even if it's just some advice. For more information or to register your enquiry
