Volume 7

Message from the Publisher

Welcome! This autumn/winter issue (Volume 7) continues our series of interviews with Duncan Palmer, Managing Director of the Langham Hotel London, and Rebecca Barlow, Head of Sales at brand new group Hilwood Resorts & Hotels.

Executive Venturer was also hosted by both Dresden Tourist Board and the Maltese Fairs and Convention Centre – a centre that has the unique ability of being able to be transformed into an ice rink or a swimming pool.

An additional feature from one of our readers, Neil Truckell of Acoustic Energy, follows his visit to the St Raphael Resort in Cyprus. If any other readers would like to write a venue review, they can contact me via email. Our regular features include New Developments, the Gizmo Guide and a competition to stay in Cyprus (courtesy of the St Raphael Resort).

I hope you continue to enjoy the magazine. If there are any features that we are not covering, please email the editor Kate Sherry or myself.
