ONE of Worcestershire's premier hotels and conference venues is holding a swanky clients' evening to celebrate its first anniversary under new ownership.

The Bromsgrove Hotel, in the town's Kidderminster Road, is celebrating its first year as part of the Pedersen Hotel group by inviting leading clients for a classy evening bash - with vodka jelly and ice-cream on the party menu.

During the past 12 months, The Bromsgrove Hotel - a leading member of the Conference Worcestershire group - has seen the conference side of the business really take off.

Sales manager Michael Davies said the event was a great opportunity for people to see how the hotel was looking to progress in the coming year.

"It has been a great last 12 months, both as a hotel and as a conference centre, and everyone here is looking forward to a really exciting future," he said.

"That's why we are inviting as many people as possible to see exactly what we have to offer."
