Conference Aston has appointed a well known industry figure to head up its sales and marketing team. Scottish born Christine Page has worked with conference and meeting venues around the UK and brings a wealth of expertise to the role. Commenting on her appointment Christine Page said; “The job to be done at Conference Aston is to communicate the quality of the venue and the advantages of using a purpose built facility, that has been designed to provide a focussed environment for productive conferences, meetings and events. We also have to reinforce and enhance Birmingham’s reputation as an ideal meeting place.” “One attraction to this role for me, is that the venue is part of Aston University and is co-located with one of Britain’s leading Business Schools in a new £20m building. That rather sets the tone for a venue that delivers professionalism on so many levels. I was also delighted to discover that the team have been nominated for a prestigious industry award for the Best Conference and Banqueting Staff. The facilities here, which include four star standard hotel accommodation are second to none.” “This is the first time I have worked in Birmingham. I am enjoying the city immensely and am discovering some of the delights that make Birmingham such an exceptionally good conference destination.” The profits from Conference Aston are reinvested in the university, providing welcome revenue to help fund higher education.
