Edgbaston Stadium has secured the services of Ellis Salsby Ltd to source accommodation for guests attending events at the world famous cricket venue’s new conference and banqueting suite.

Edgbaston – which unveiled a new exhibition hall, banqueting suite and other meeting and event space in the summer as part of a £32 million development – is using the Kidderminster-based hotel booking agency to secure preferential rates for customers at all leading hotels across the city.

Jamie Nevin (pictured left), General Manager of Edgbaston Stadium’s Hospitality, Conference & Events division, said: "We’re committed to providing the best possible experience for all clients, and working with Ellis Salsby Ltd ensures that their accommodation needs are managed by experts and available at the best price possible.

"The company boasts a great reputation within the industry as a leading hotel booking agency and it offers a similar service at many other recognised venues across Europe. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with the team."

Ellis Salsby (pictured right), Managing Director, said: "The redevelopment of Edgbaston has not only made it one of the leading cricket stadiums in the world, but also one of the most exciting conference and events venues. Many leading brands are already staging events at the Stadium and we’re looking forward to working with these clients to ensure that our relationship with the city’s leading hotels gives them complete piece of mind ahead of their event."

The new conference and banqueting centre at Edgbaston was opened in the summer by HRH Prince Philip. The development also transformed the Stadium into one of the world’s leading cricket venues and the second biggest in the UK with a capacity of 25,000.
