Those of you who know us, know how much we rate Trybooking UK and the team behind it. So much so, that they have been a recommended, 'Go To', associate partner in the Hospitality Partnership since we changed the business model in 2021 to offer a host of different expert resource on a flexible and 'as needed' basis. This testimonial from the CEO Liz Stewart of Scotland's Garden Scheme, just dropped, and it shows how effective the Trybooking UK platform is for event and ticket sales. But the platform offers so much more, even seating/table plans, menu choices and dietary notes, takes payment, sends itineraries etc. And guess what it's totally free to use for non-charged events and more competitive than many other platforms for charged events, oh and you only get charged on each ticket sold, so no risk or financial outlay. Is it important for you to work with UK businesses, then yep, TryBooking are here in the UK not North America. An amazing team to help and support you, lead by Joan Lind if needed. Give it a go, honestly, you'll wish you had moved sooner :-) #hospitality #Events #exhibitions #ticketsales

Public trust in charities is at its highest level in a decade. The average trust score for charities climbed to 6.5/10, up from 6.3/10 in 2023. One reason for this rise is increased transparency, which has placed charities among the most trusted groups in society. What can charities do to keep the trust growing? #Charity #ExecutiveSearch #DanielWiseExecutiveSearch #Leadership
