UK: ASAP has announced that 39 of its members have been shortlisted for its 2015 awards.
ASAP managing director James Foice said: “The catalyst has been the introduction of our new ASAP quality accreditation scheme (launched December 2014) which is without question driving standards in the sector forward. It’s fantastic to see one third of our members shortlisted for this year’s awards with the ‘Guest Experience’ category, which has been a priority focus for the association and the theme of our 2015 conference, attracting the greatest number of entries (15).”
The awards winners will be announced at the ASAP 2015 convention in London on 3 December.
ASAP has also announced four appointments: Emma Grossmith and Laura Kettle, who will run the association’s events programme; Veronica Harding, who joins as executive assistant from TripAdvisor; Joyce Cawthorpe, who has been with ASAP for the last six years, is confirmed in the new role of marketing, media & communication manager; and Steve Martin, who has worked with ASAP for the last two years on the quality accreditation programme is appointed as managing director of the International Serviced Apartment Accreditation Programme (ISAAP).
“This is a hugely exciting step for the business.” said Foice. “With these key new appointments we have a really strong team in place to enable us to deliver a much-enhanced programme for our members, as well as generating much stronger awareness of the serviced apartment sector in the UK and overseas.”
