British Marine is delighted to announce that Allan Lambert, CEO of Habitat First Group (HFG) will be heading up day two of the inaugural British Marine National Conference (15-16 March, National Conference Centre, Birmingham).
In his CEO breakfast briefing, Allan will discuss the future of staycations in a post-pandemic world.
“It’s no longer just about the right product, in the right place and at the right price. People, purpose and planet are fast becoming the driving force for many consumers”, commented Allan Lambert, CEO, Habitat First Group. “Businesses fastest to adapt to this systemic change in consumer behaviour gain a competitive edge not only as an employer of choice, a preferred destination for investment, but also the obvious choice for the next generation of holiday guests.”
Sharing insights and thoughts on tourism as a force for good, delegates will be able to draw on Allan’s 25 years of knowledge developing some of the UK’s leading holiday home communities, combining excellence in architecture, state-of-the-art facilities, security and service.
“HFG’s focus on ecology, sustainability and conservation are ideals that are very much mirrored in the marine sector,” commented Lesley Robinson, CEO, British Marine. “Having Allan join us at the conference to share his views and opinions on best practice will undoubtedly be of great benefit to everyone attending. It is definitely a session not to be missed.”
