ICC Wales, The Celtic Manor Resort and The Parkgate Hotel have joined industry association beam.
The three South Wales venues, all part of The Celtic Collection portfolio, join one of the UK’s leading associations representing the business events, accommodation and meetings industry.
The move is intended to support the group’s engagement with industry-wide best practice, advocacy and collaboration at a national level.
As beam members, ICC Wales, The Celtic Manor Resort and The Parkgate Hotel will gain access to a network of industry specialists, alongside professional support, shared resources and opportunities to attend sector events.
Membership also allows participation in government lobbying activity aimed at supporting and developing the UK business events industry.
Julie Hammond, Group Chief Executive Officer, ICC Wales and The Celtic Collection, said: “We’ve been watching beam for a while and are impressed with the work they’re doing to shine a light on the UK’s business events sector.
“Across our portfolio, striving for best practice and raising the industry’s profile are intrinsic to our operations and something we’re extremely passionate about, so joining beam is a natural fit for us.
“We look forward to a productive partnership that will strengthen both our work and the wider sector.”
Louisa Watson, Chair of beam, said: “We’re delighted to welcome ICC Wales, The Celtic Manor Resort, and The Parkgate Hotel to beam.
“Each venue brings a strong reputation for excellence, innovation, and collaboration – qualities that perfectly reflect the values of our association.
“Their membership strengthens our collective voice at a pivotal time for the UK’s meetings and events industry, and we look forward to working together to drive meaningful progress across the sector.”
