Regional Get-Together Event – Thursday, 23rd March 2023
We were delighted to host our first ASSC “Get-Together” Regional Event in 2023 in Inverness Thursday 23rd March 2023 at the Kingsmills Hotel, Culcabock Road, Inverness IV2 3LP.
This was an in-person event and was NOT recorded.
We welcomed self-caterers, bed & breakfast, guest house and other STL operators and attracted MSP’s, short-term rental operators and industry representatives, and our valued partners from all over the Highlands and beyond.
Self-catering has experienced many challenges in recent years, and there are significant challenges looming in the future. Our members need our support more now than ever – and the ASSC remains here for them.
As your sector representatives, we have been, and continue to be at every meeting relevant to your business, well briefed and focused. We are at the top table, ensuring that your interests are heard, whether that top table is Scottish Government, UK Government, local authority or Destination Management Organisation. We are here to cover your back.
Over 150 industry stakeholders, ASSC members & non-members attended the event with excellent networking and sponsorship opportunities. Many of our Partners for Business and Trade Supplier Plus partners were also present to take advantage of the opportunity to network with our members.
