The new Eastside Rooms, located in Birmingham, has appointed Ross Hogarth as the venue’s revenue manager.
Hogarth joins the new meetings and events facility from the Radisson Hotel Group and will be leading all commercial aspects of the venue, from proactive sales to pricing and booking procedures.
Hogarth previously worked for Intercontinental Hotels & Resorts and QMH, before spending the last seven years at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Birmingham where he held a variety of roles, most recently as revenue office manager.
Hogarth said: “The Eastside Rooms will be one of the most exciting event venues in the country, attracting new clients and events into Birmingham as the city continues its renaissance into one of Europe’s leading events destinations.
“How we work with the industry now, as we come out of a really turbulent period, will say a lot about our business, our support for our customers, and how we want to represent the city as a place that wants to host great meetings and events.”
Regional general manager for The Eastside Rooms, Matt Huddart, added: “Ross is incredibly well known across the meetings and events industry but is also hugely experienced on a local level; he’s our Mr Birmingham.
“The Eastside Rooms has so much potential in this market, and we wanted someone who completely gets the customer, and puts them at the centre of every commercial decision we make. Ross has proved himself over and over again in this respect.”
The Eastside Rooms will launch in the Autumn 2020 and will be just a few minutes’ walk from the new HS2 terminus at Curzon Street, as well as being connected to three other rail links, and four airports
