SACO, the Bristol-based serviced apartment company, is opening its first overseas office in the USA.
SACO is based in Whiteladies Road in Bristol, it was established in 1997 and is one of the UK’s leading brands within the industry, operating and providing access to serviced apartments across the UK and worldwide. The company operates and manages its own apartments at 30 locations in the UK and, through its worldwide network, provides serviced accommodation in over 100 destinations worldwide. Having established a significant portfolio of apartments in the UK opening its first overseas office is a natural progression for the company.
The new office will be located just outside New York, in Westport, Connecticut and will support clients travelling to the USA as well as opening up the market for US travellers visiting the UK.
The office will be run by John Murray whose background includes owning and operating travel agencies and niche tour operations, he has also held senior management positions within international hotel groups. John and his team are excited about being part of the SACO group, he says “Serviced apartments are a popular option for Americans travelling to the UK on business and for vacations, and it’s great to be able to offer such a high quality product to our clients.”
Lesley Freed, SACO’s founder and CEO, says “After 14 years building a market leading brand for serviced apartments in the UK, it makes sense for us to expand overseas.”
