Lanyon Bowdler strengthens support for North Wales tourism sector
A Conwy-based law firm has reaffirmed its commitment to the area’s thriving tourism industry after exhibiting at the Go North Wales Summer Conference.
The event brought together tourism businesses and industry professionals from across the region, providing an opportunity to hear the latest updates on the tourism sector, share ideas and strengthen professional relationships.
Representatives from Lanyon Bowdler’s Conwy office spent the day catching up with clients and contacts while learning more about the opportunities and challenges facing one of North Wales’ most important industries.
The firm has a long-standing relationship with the tourism sector, advising a wide range of businesses including hotels, caravan parks, holiday accommodation providers and visitor attractions.
Juana Eastwood, a commercial property solicitor at Lanyon Bowdler who specialises in advising tourism businesses, said: “The Go North Wales Summer Conference is always an excellent opportunity to hear about the latest developments affecting the tourism industry while catching up with many of the businesses we work alongside throughout the year.
“Having a team based in Conwy means we understand both the opportunities and the challenges facing tourism businesses in North Wales.
“We pride ourselves on offering practical, approachable legal advice that reflects the needs of the local business community.”
Lanyon Bowdler is also a proud sponsor of the North Wales Tourism Awards, which celebrate the outstanding businesses, people and organisations that help make the region one of the UK’s leading visitor destinations.
“We are passionate about supporting the tourism sector, not just through the legal services we provide but by championing the businesses that contribute so much to the North Wales economy,” Juana added.
“The Tourism Awards are a fantastic opportunity to recognise the innovation, resilience and dedication of businesses across the region, and we’re delighted to continue supporting them.”
Lanyon Bowdler offers specialist legal advice across a number of disciplines, including commercial property, corporate law, employment and debt recovery, helping tourism businesses at every stage of their journey.
As a North Wales-based cleaning company, we’ve continued to develop both the services we offer and the standards behind the business.
One of our latest additions has been professional carpet and upholstery cleaning, allowing us to provide a more complete service to our clients alongside our existing commercial cleaning, property cleans, deep cleans, holiday accommodation changeovers and specialist cleaning work.
We’re also really pleased to have recently achieved CHAS Elite accreditation. This has been an important step in our continued growth, demonstrating the systems and standards we now have in place across health & safety, environmental management, quality, compliance and responsible business practices.
Cleanex is already supporting several housing associations and property organisations across North Wales, alongside holiday accommodation providers, local businesses and private clients. We’re keen to continue building relationships with organisations across the region while keeping the reliable, personal service of a local North Wales business.
We’re proud of how much the company has developed and are looking forward to continuing that growth while creating further opportunities locally.
