Quotes from hospec delegates

Alberto Menéndez González, Director de Compras, NH Hotels:"A working format intensive and very efficient. You develop a friendly and constructive dialog between suppliers and hoteliers from which, I'm sure, both will benefit. In two days you hold a lot of quality meetings that you wouldn't be able to do within your everyday schedule in your office or visiting a normal trade show."

Carlos Marina, Chief Financial Officer, Hotel Wellington, Madrid: "For an independent hotel like the Wellington, to participate in Hospec, organized by McLean Events Europe Ltd. Means an excellent opportunity to access commercial relations with suppliers that doing it differently would require, from every one, a bigger investment in Human and Economical Resources.
The optimization of the agenda between supplier and hotel is the result of perfect synchronization of the event that allows the commercial exchange, taking into consideration the interests of both parties, because the meetings have been arranged in advance.
Lastly I would point out the importance given to the organization of team activities, which are aimed to get to know each other better. Allows for the exchange of ideas and professional goals in a relaxed atmosphere while practicing sports, sharing breakfast, farewell dinner or a tourist visit. My congratulations to McLean Events."

Catty Mateos de Meliá Castilla:"It has been a great experience and the meetings programme was very interesting and productive. In my normal day to day working environment I would never be able to meet many of the suppliers I met at hospec 08 and build such close and personal relationships. I recommend this work format for the future."

Mario Spina of Hilton Hotels Barcelona: "I recommend this meeting format to Hoteliers as well as to Suppliers. It is very intense, but a lot more productive and personal that other forms of events, some of which often require much more time and are not nearly as effective."

José Luís Orozco de AC Hotels:"Thank you McLean Events for taking us out of our offices to meet our suppliers in a way which allows us the time to do so without the normal interruptions. This event format, without exhibition stands, makes people more accessible and it is a lot more productive than the trade fairs, where without advanced planning, you do not get the desired result. Please convey my congratulations to the organizers for the excellent work in the preparation and the follow up of the event."

Rafael Cejas de Expo Hotels & Resorts: "Magnificent oportunity to get to know the hotel suppliers in an intensive way. Another perspective of the customer-supplier relation without preconceived labels."

Albert Gibert de Villeroy & Boch: "Hospec 08 has been a magnificent experience. A very good formula of doing business in a pleasant and amiable  atmosphere. Without a doubt, an event  to which we shall return for the next edition in Lisbon."

José Carlos Aranaz de Cosentino-Silestone: "I have been pleasantly surprised, I had not been exposed to this work format between supplier and customer.

Sonia Almela, Aromatherapy Associates: "Business is all about building relationships and establishing trust with your clients and at hospec the personal contact you have with the hotel operators is excellent" Thank you McLean Events for the opportunity and the wonderful organisation."

Jimmy Andrews, Pulse Fitness:"I have now been to over 20 events created by McLean Events, in Europe, Asia, The Middle East and America, for the hotel and fitness industries and there is nothing out there which beats the business format they offer. For the Spanish market, hospec got off to a great start and I am sure it has an excellent future."

Martin Andersen, Planova A/S: "From the perspective of a Scandanavian company, targetting the Spanish market, it was perfect for us to be able to talk one-on-one with so many people. Excellents event and well organised."

Gary Greenop, Dudson Group:"Great to meet directly with major hotel chains that normally  I would never get the chance to meet. hospec certainly gets my vote."

Josep Maria Pujol, Pujol lluminación: "Excellent to be able to meet important hotel operators face to face in a relaxed environment. What made the event even more rewarding was that we were able to discuss many aspects of the hotel business with operators which normally we would never get the chance to do. Meeting this number of quality people would normally take me months if not years."

Agatha Lewandowska, Ideal Standard:"We believe that hospec is an event worth going. It is a good opportunity for us suppliers to find the decision makers in person, to get to know each other and present our products and solutions establishing a good relation that we hope it will be fruitful in the future. The possibility of meeting the hotel operators in a more "intimate" ambiance than a big fair, helps, without a doubt, to create a stronger relationship more constructive for both sides."

Enrique Rius, RAK Porcelain Europe: "Thank you for everything, I want to congratúlate you for the organization and development of the event, exceeded my expectations. Count on us for next year in Lisbon."
