With a large portfolio of properties , analysing data is essential to Kew Green Hotels success . “ We have a very solid analytics team , based at our Commercial hub , who continually analyse and react to our data , and work closely with our sales and marketing teams . On the F & B side , some of our key KPIs are driven through the data reported back to us on a weekly basis .”
The growth of Kew Green Hotels requires a team that can adapt quickly to an ever-shifting portfolio . “ We have expanded quite a lot recently ,” Abby explains . “ Six Hilton Hotels joined our portfolio in March 2018 , this meant we expanded

So that has been quite a challenge , in ensuring that we ’ ve got an infrastructure that can flex to the needs and the growth of the business , which is essential as there are huge projects ongoing with the Hiltons at the moment .”
