Douglas Wallace are very happy to be involved with the BHA with the remit of helping members grow their business, because they are clearly the voice of the hospitality industry in the UK.

Rodney Baldwin, Principal, says: "The demand for higher quality design and environmental experiences is being driven by consumers who have become educated by frequent international travel and ubiquitous discussion of 'Design' in the mainstream media.

"As a patron member of the association we aim to start a dialogue with members to advance the role of design and show how it can be used as an effective tool in the marketing of a hospitality business. With the rise of the internet as the prime selection tool by which consumers choose a hotel, one can imagine that something as simple as the photographs presented of the hotel is significant and one where you can truly say that 'Design makes the Difference' between your hotel being selected, or not."
