Well it has been a busy time for us at umi. Whether it has been getting our clients live with umi Marketing or helping our new clients using Bookitwith it has been an non-stop few weeks.

There has been some positive new from umi Hotel as well with the www.umihotellondon.co.uk site winning a Travel Mole Best Hotel website awards which was a great achievement. We have also some exciting possibilities for some new umi’s which of course we will let you know as soon as we can.

I have had a busy few weeks travelling too, with a trip to Venice for the day amongst other trips. Going up to the University of Salford tomorrow (that is where I went to University!) to attend an event in Media City. Really excited to see the transformation up there and will also get some nostalgic memories of my graduation day (which took place at the Lowry centre… that’s LowRy not Lowy!) . I also will be heading down to umi Brighton on Thursday afternoon to attend a little Summer get together that they are putting together in aid of some charities in the UK and Cambodia. Then off to Buckingham Palace to look around the state rooms on Friday afternoon…. ooooo la di da.

That is enough from me but will update you with some photos and other information.

Hey Guys. It has been a long time since Cambodia but last night we held a little fund-raising raffle at a party at the umi Hotel in London. All in all we have raised £200 which has been split between the 5 Charities I visited in Siem Reap! It was great and from my personal visits there I really know that the money will help the local people of Cambodia. We also put together a little montagey video of my trip to Cambodia which you can click on here —>Cambodia Cambodia. I hope you enjoy. If you forgot which charities they were … Here they are:

Sala Bai Hotel School www.salabai.com

Trailblazer www.thetrailblazerfoundation.org

Globalteer Sunday Football League www.globalteer.org/globalteer-soccer-league.html

ABC Rice School www.abc-rice.com

Grace House Community Centre www.gracehousecambodia.org

Off to St. Petersburg to visit a client of our with umi Marketing to take some snaps of the city and the Hostel so hope to share those with you next week.

Well that’s it from me in Siem Reap. As I sit here for the final time in the restaurant of Rosy’s, looking out onto the bustling streets of Siem Reap, i thought it would be a great time to recap on what has been a whirlwind few weeks.

The experience has been wonderful and really hope that the work and help done both at the guesthouse , and at the charities, will be fruitful for all parties. Read the rest of this entry »

Hey there all. A little bit of Frank Sinatra on my last evening in Siem Reap. So the ISTC skills exchange draws to a close.

We spent the afternoon going over some further designs, having a bit of a recap of all the stuff we have done, and discuss various reports and figures that have all been completed and are now being used ! The website will go live next Tuesday which is very exciting and also it has been great to see the guys here embrace some of the operational changes suggested. Read the rest of this entry »
