Nick Ashby appointed sales manager at Future Inns Hotel Cardiff

The Future Inns group has announced the appointment of Nick Ashby to the position of Sales Manager at its Cardiff Bay hotel.

With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality and conference industry, Nick moves up from his five-year position as conference coordinator.

With hotels in Bristol and Plymouth, the group launched its flagship 197 bedroom hotel in Cardiff in 2005. Located on Hemingway Road in the Welsh capital, the hotel with onsite ‘Thomas’ restaurant and conference facilities, employs 71 members of staff.

Paul Lago, Group Operations Manager of Future Inns said: "This appointment recognises Nick's success and contribution to the growth of our corporate and conferencing events at our Cardiff property. Our philosophy is to develop our team internally and are pleased that Nick is one of many of our success stories since we opened our doors eleven years ago. We wish Nick every success in his new role.”

Nick Ashby said "I am delighted to be looking after-sales for all aspects of the hotel and look forward to further developing our corporate, wedding and rooms sales. I believe we have an exciting and compelling sales offer; the hotel is perfectly placed in Cardiff Bay with free onsite parking and a Welsh themed restaurant and eight purpose-built conference rooms.

We have also invested significantly in becoming the most cycle-friendly hotel in Cardiff through our Bike to the Future scheme. I am thrilled to be part of such a great team.”
