Transforming Telford

Telford & Shropshire Marketing Partnership (TSMP) held their annual exhibition showcasing the multitude of activities on offer in the Telford & Shropshire area.

Held at the Telford Shopping Centre, thousands were given the opportunity to see a range of exhibitors, including Artist Bob Spendlove, Telford Steam Railway, Shropshire’s Star Attractions, Oakengates Theatre at The Place, The Best Western Valley Hotel, Press Red and Ironbridge Fine Arts. The event gave people who live and work in the area a greater insight into the exciting range of things to see and do.

Rebecca Gutierrez, Tourism Manager at Transforming Telford said: “Through TSMP we are providing people with the information they need to go out and enjoy Telford & Shropshire.

I would like to thank the Shopping Centre for the support provided. It’s really important to publicise the great activities that are on offer in the area so people can make the most of where they live and work, and with the school summer holidays just around the corner - the exhibition gave parents some helpful hints on how to keep the kids entertained on their doorstep.”

James Craig, Assistant Manager from Telford Ice Rink said: “The exhibition went really well for us with plenty of enquiries coming our way. We were particularly pleased to see a good uptake on our 2 for 1 offer.”

This was echoed by Sarah Tennant, Sales Manager at the Park Inn who said: “This was a really useful 2 days allowing us to raise the profile of the hotel and Telford as a destination.”
