UK: London serviced apartment provider Clarendon Serviced Apartments has appointed Peter Morgan as commercial director.
Morgan, previously the company’s head of marketing and market development has 14 years of experience in the London serviced apartment sector.
Clarendon managing director Scott Hamilton said: “Peter’s passion, considered approach and knowledge of the wider business and of our sector will be invaluable in his expanding role at a time that sees exciting growth opportunity at Clarendon”.
Morgan said: “I’m delighted with my new role and look forward to the challenges that lay ahead. The serviced apartment sector has matured and today there is a real buzz about our industry with a myriad of new operators and service providers entering the space. I’m proud to be part of Clarendon and the team at an exciting time. I’m looking forward to helping implement future plans which will further define and position Clarendon as the leading go to independent London operator.”
The company has also announced it has installed Hyperoptics fast fibre broadband at its Clarendon 140 Minories property in Tower Hill. The building is the latest Clarendon property in London to be upgraded, delivering consistent download speeds of up to 100mb.
Hamilton said: “Travelling with multiple devices has become the norm and there’s an expectation from today’s business traveller to be able to connect numerous devices simultaneously without glitch and impact on speed. With Skype being a preferred means of staying connected when working away from home and video streaming an ever popular choice for home entertainment, ISPs are under pressure to meet current and future expected demand for speed and connectivity. Aside to central locations and convenient access to London’s transport network it’s arguable a reliable internet service is the most important element of a guest’s stay and overall experience. Sadly, London still has some way to go in terms of providing reliable internet provision and service varies greatly across the City. However, where infrastructure allows and where Hyperoptic is available Clarendon continues to invest in the cabling and installation of Hyperoptics superior fast fibre service, assuring some of the fastest internet speeds available across serviced apartment providers in London today and all at no extra cost to our guests”</p
