Independent Hotel Show – 4th – 5th October 2022, at the Olympia National, London
Recent Exhibition at the Independent Hotel Show
Crown Sports Lockers recently exhibited at the ‘Independent Hotel Show’ at the Olympia National, in London. This prestigious event is the only one dedicated to luxury, boutique and independent hotels. The aim of the event was to bring together designers and suppliers, providing information regarding services and innovative products available, to assist attending hoteliers in their quest to constantly improve their businesses. This year, over 200 exhibitors attended, allowing them to engage with their target audience – first-hand, to enable valuable business connections through networking and to further establish their companies as stalwarts within the hotel industry. There were also speakers, with trend-led sessions and seminars.


Keeping Up With The Latest Trends
Directors & co-owners of Crown, Spencer Grimwood and Sam Palmer, were able to take advantage of networking opportunities, both by meeting with some of the industry consultants they work with, and forming new working relationships with exhibitors and hoteliers alike. It was a great platform to showcase their products, including hotel and spa lockers, washrooms and spa treatment rooms. The Independent Hotel Show also afforded them the opportunity to identify some of the latest trends, in order for them to remain competitive and current.
When asked about the show, Sam Palmer said, “We were delighted to attend the Independent Hotel Show 2022, marking our 10-year anniversary of exhibiting at this event! It was a great opportunity to meet with both new and existing clients, and showcase our latest products to the Hotel and Spa market.”
