We are very pleased to be able to join forces with a hi-profile booking agency such as Expotel and look forward to the opportunity to enhance and expand our clients business through wider and high quality lead enquiries.

Partnership
The partnership between the two companies will maximise exposure and booking opportunities for specific venues that go to make up the dedicated Expotel and Lime Venue Portfolio collective.
The joint venture connects two successful organisations, creating un-rivalled joint marketing opportunities and consolidation of rates. Those venues participating in the collective will also benefit from RFP's and improved positioning within all Expotel booking engines and company affiliates including Latemeetings.com.
Lime Venue Portfolio's participating properties, which include the RICOH Arena, the Rose Bowl and Brit Oval will also be able to maximise marketing opportunities and educational trips as well as the opportunity to showcase venues to Expotel's agents.
In 2009 Lime Venue Portfolio finished with a record number of 109 venues on their books, comprising castles, stately homes, exhibition halls and sports stadiums.
Commenting on the partnership, Mark Bevan, Expotel’s commercial manager said: ‘We are delighted to welcome the relationship with Lime Venue Portfolio and see the partnership and synergies of having such unique venues as only good for both our business and its clients.’
Louise Amphlett, head of Lime Venue Portfolio said: ‘We are very pleased to be able to join forces with a hi-profile booking agency such as Expotel and look forward to the opportunity to enhance and expand our clients business through wider and high quality lead enquiries.’
