Conference Aston strengthens leadership team

Central Birmingham conference centre and hotel venue Conference Aston has appointed Neil Wyatt and Curtis Holloway to senior roles as it continues to invest in its operations and guest experience.

Neil joins as general manager of catering and housekeeping services, bringing decades of hospitality experience.

He will oversee the venue's restaurant, bar, kitchen and housekeeping teams, while leading the development of its food and drink offering with a focus on sustainability and locally sourced produce.

Neil said: “Conference Aston already had an excellent reputation, and my ambition is to build on that by making it the first choice for conferences, meetings and accommodation in Birmingham.

“We're working with fantastic local suppliers to showcase the very best of the region, incorporating wines from a South Staffordshire vineyard into our new wine list, whilst further enhancing our restaurant and bar with products from locally brewed ales and lagers to artisan cheeses and locally produced spirits. 

“It allows us to offer something distinctive while supporting businesses within our community.”

Curtis has been appointed facilities manager and will lead facilities maintenance, health and safety compliance, staff training and a programme of refurbishment and infrastructure projects across the venue.

He added: “Providing a safe, well-maintained environment is fundamental to delivering a great delegate experience. 

“My priority is ensuring our buildings and facilities continue to meet the highest standards while successfully delivering the improvement projects that will benefit our customers for years to come.”
