Abade really enjoyed the ASSC Conference at Aviemore yesterday.  Guest speaker Muriel Grey was full of energy and brought us all back, through wit and anecdote, to the crucial viewpoint of our lovely customers.  Self catering is fast moving and increasingly sophisticated.  Going the extra mile by pre-empting our guest's requirements will ensure our businesses thrive and client's return year after year.
It was great opportunity for discussion and debate with fellow self caterers and has fired us all up to try new and exciting ideas to enhance our offering to guests and make the most of our fantastic natural surroundings and wildlife in 2013 - The Year of Natural Scotland.
