Georgina Porter (Georgie) has joined Lime Venue Portfolio as Business Development Manager as the brand reports another positive trading year and continues to service increasing volumes of enquiries.
The appointment of Georgie is part of the brand’s strategy to continue to work hand in hand with event agencies, offering them vast venue options both in terms of geographically and venue type, within the portfolio. This, alongside great service and expertise in all areas of the sector, creates mutual value for both agents and the portfolio’s venues.
The Lime Venue Portfolio Agency Partner Programme and Agency Development Programme have seen significant growth over the last 12 months. The programmes are supported by an award-winning central sales hub, servicing agency partner enquiries, quickly, efficiently, and accurately. With Georgie’s appointment, the brand can expand the reach of the programme and increase face-to-face contact with acute understanding of agency businesses.
Georgie brings with her a wealth of experience working across venue brands within the meetings and events market, but specifically in supporting event agencies and their clients. In that time, she has built a strong network and a fine reputation for supporting customers. As part of her role Georgie will work with partners to further support the strategy, giving additional support to Lime Venue Portfolio customers from an account management perspective.
“We love Georgie, and she has a great reputation in the UK meetings market,” commented Jo Austin, Sales Director, Lime Venue Portfolio. “She’s got a brilliant network, she’s well known, and she has loads of experience working directly with event agencies. It means she can be a consultant as well as a salesperson and underlines our aim to support our customers, and to bring more value to them on top of our venue brands.”
“Ask any meeting planner, and at venue search stage, their main requirement is about being quick, accurate, and getting the detail right when it comes to venue enquiries. At Lime Venue Portfolio I know we do this exceptionally well; however, we also provide knowledge, data, and intelligence that helps them upskill and develop even better meetings and events,” comments Georgie. “It’s been brilliant to see how collaborative the LVP team are with our clients, from training to information sharing, campaigns like neurodiversity to Meetings for Change, the Meeting Room of the Future and wellbeing. As a business development manager, you want to help your clients, Lime Venue Portfolio gives you the tools you need to do so.”
