A new UK representation agency specialising in the luxury meetings, events and incentives market has launched with a portfolio of hotels and venues across the UK, Europe, the Caribbean and the US.
Founded by hospitality sales specialist Nic Stott, ONE collection brings together luxury hotel brands and independent venues under a single representation model, targeting buyers in the meetings, incentives, sports, entertainment and high-net-worth events sectors.
The launch portfolio includes OKU Hotels in Andalusia, Ibiza, Kos and Bodrum, The Newman in London's Fitzrovia, Silversands Resorts Grenada, Avantgarde Refined in Cappadocia and Bodrum, Loews Miami Beach Hotel, Penicuik Estate near Edinburgh, and London venues Bleeding Heart and Boule Bar.
The agency will focus on luxury incentive travel, meetings and events, corporate retreats, product launches, team building and private dining, while also offering sales support, account management, educational trips and RFP management for its hotel and venue partners.
Nic Stott, founder of ONE collection, said: "Bringing hotels and venues together as one means clients get a broader, more creative set of options, and our partners get access to wider opportunities. It's about creating greater impact and stronger results for every brand we represent, because together, we're stronger than any one of us could be alone."
Among the agency's launch partners is OKU Hotels, which is looking to grow its share of the meetings and incentives market.
Micheal Vance, vice president of sales at OKU Hotels, said: "Nic and One Collection came about for us just at the right time. As we're growing our brand and looking to new market segments to support this growth, his expertise in MICE business in our biggest global market will be central to our plans. We look forward to long-term partnership from Nic to help support this key segment for many seasons to come."
ONE collection said it plans to expand its portfolio of hotels and venues as the business grows.
