We are looking for.....

Time and time again I get asked for hospitality options for clients.
Normally the brief is "we are looking for something for 10 guests" and that is about as good as the brief gets. This brief tends to get a corporate company such as Ingram's going, we look for ideas, we hold space we talk to suppliers then we put the proposal only to find out that its for couples is in June and the budget is £250.00 per person.

"Ok" you say "well you should have asked the questions at the time" whilst this is true the reality is that the client does not know as "The Boss " was very vague.

In fact you get growing confusion and frustration which is only compounded by the fact that of course you will have asked two maybe three or even more companies to look for you.

I do not know the answer to this problem but all I do know is that you are better spending a few minutes talking to "The Boss" setting out some clear questions and getting as many facts as possible, it will save you time, money and also get a better result and clear pricing breakdown.
