Buying specialist Lynx Purchasing will be offering visitors to the Independent Hotel Show the chance to benchmark their current buying to assess the potential for major savings on key products and services.

During the show at Olympia, the Lynx team will be on hand discuss the full range of buying challenges faced by independent and boutique hotel operators. Visitors to the Lynx stand will also be able to pick up a free copy of the latest edition of the Lynx Purchasing Market Forecast.

Published three times a year, the Market Forecast combines headline official inflation data with exclusive insight from the range of industry-leading suppliers Lynx works with, across key product areas including meat, seafood, fresh produce and dairy.

John Pinder, managing director of Lynx Purchasing, said: “Inflation is currently at an historic low level, although that could change over the coming months. In the meantime, not all hotels and restaurants are getting the full benefit of stable prices.

“The simplest way for us to assess the level of savings we can offer hotels is to check their current invoices against the exclusive prices we negotiate with leading industry suppliers.

“Hoteliers who leave copies of five or more recent invoices with our specialist buying team at show will be contacted afterwards with the results of a tailored confidential buying audit.

“However, those who just want to make initial contact at the show are also very welcome. From fresh meat and fish to dry goods, cleaning & hygiene, guest amenities and even utilities and telecoms, we can save costs for almost every hotel business, and we look forward to meeting potential new customers at the show.”

The Independent Hotel Show takes place at Olympia in London on October 20 and 21, where Lynx Purchasing will be on Stand 42. To register, go to www.independenthotelshow.co.uk.
