Connect
Buell Connect is a community of owners and operators of independent businesses, and others with a keen interest in the hotel and wider hospitality sector.
And it does just that…It offers a structure which connects and supports those caught in the maelstrom of day-to-day business operations, who often lack business-critical information to aid decision-making and sometimes just need a friendly but confidential sounding-board to bounce ideas off.
Created by industry professionals who truly understand the many stresses and strains of operating evermore complex businesses in the fast-evolving world of hospitality, it also recognises the need for ‘community’ and the sharing of ideas, opportunities and challenges – and for having a little down-time – and fun!
In short, Buell Connect is a the ‘Hub’ which provides all the business support you could possibly need whilst reducing your costs and even enhancing your social life! It has been created to enable independent business operators to get ahead of the game, enjoying:
Direct cost benefits
Friendly professional support
High quality industry information
Learning from peers and key influencers
Social participation in the lighter side of business
The opportunity to positively impact your team, your business and your quality of life
