Associate membership to
the Golden Keys

Associate Membership is a unique opportunity for businesses offering services to hotel guests.

Hotel guests trust their Concierge to guide their decisions and signpost them to all sorts of products, services and requirements. It is essential therefore that the Concierges stay abreast of current trends. This is one area in which Associate Members are invaluable to The Society.

There are some eighty Associate Members representing services hotel guests might require. They are an exclusive group of well-established, sound and professional businesses, carefully selected for being outstanding in their field. There is a strict selection process requiring a minimum trading period of five years, any proposed membership is announced at the Concierge meeting. The application, once successful, is then announced at the next General Meeting. The initial subscription fee will be £700 which will cover the first two years of Associate Membership.
