Tuesday 24th June 2014 The End is Nigh! No, not the end of the world – not yet anyway – but we have been doing some serious thinking about how and when we communicate with you. The thought process goes on but one of the things we have decided to do immediately is stop bombarding you with a weekly bulletin. It has, as they say, served its purpose and given good service but time and effective ways of communicating have moved on!
So, what now? Well, day to day communication will continue via Tweet and Facebook and will pick up on newsworthy items that are current, interesting and useful to know. Life moves on at such a pace that fresh news very quickly becomes stale news hence our active use of social media. However, we are conscious that not all our members are addicted to this form of communication so the CH website will be kept updated and dynamic, but it does require regular visits by you. In addition we will be introducing a monthly “magazine”, the intent being to make you aware via specialist case studies and views from those seemingly best informed of ways to further inspire and animate your teams making the best of their undoubted potential. We do have lots of other things planned but before we put other things in place we will be asking for http://us5.campaign-archive1.com/?u=dde11f98e5ce03d93968ee089&id=869f82b886

your views in a short survey. We do promise to take notice of your views. We are aware that there are regulars who “open” their weekly communication with gusto, but there are also those who sadly do not have the time to read yet another newsletter/bulletin, and that is perfectly understood – it happens to us all. So, keep an eye out for the survey but for now this is the last weekly CH bulletin you will receive. Adieu, Au Revoir, Goodnight Vienna - WNB R.I.P

Hotel Bedding Goody Bags at Considerate Hotelier Awards Lunch For the Considerate Hotel of the Year Awards, the goody bag this year was especially crafted in Fairtrade organic hotel beddingfrom Fou Furnishings, in partnership with their organic Fairtrade hotel linens supplier. Fou Furnishings were the linens of choice for the hotel winning the greenest in the UK at the Considerate Hotelier Awards in 2013. Fou’s luxury linens were especially created in certified Fairtrade and organic cotton for hospitality use to combine hotel functionality with beautiful linens and the highest standards of ethical and sustainable sourcing. All linens are rigorously tested and many are 'dual certified' organic and Fairtrade; the 'gold standard' for sustainable cotton. Hotelier feedback on their bed, bath and nursery hotel linens confirm that the linens are very much appreciated by their guests; ensuring the hotel’s business is remembered long after their visit has ended. Fou Furnishings strive to ensure their Fairtrade and organic cotton hotel linens stand out from the crowd so the hotel can reap the rewards of differentiation which in turn benefits the environment and sustainable development.
