Pearson Park Hotel puts FAIRTRADE in the guests rooms.
Guests at the Pearson Park Hotel will be greeted with Fairtrade labelled products in their bedrooms from now on. Following a tip-off from an eminent member of the rotary club and a conversation between Steve Bullock, Hotel Manager, and members of the Fairtrade City Project Steering Group, the hotel has chosen to put Fairtrade labelled coffee sticks, tea bags, chocolate sachets and sugar sticks in the guest rooms. The hotel has chosen products from Café Direct, so the guests are guaranteed the best flavoured drinks going. 
This is super news for the Fairtrade City Project as the hotel now counts towards the number of Fairtrade outlets, and one more step in the build up of Fairtrade sales. This is the first hotel in Hull (so far as we know) to put Fairtrade products in the rooms.
Steve should be congratulated on getting this implemented at this time of year, just when everybody is busy. When business is a little quieter we will also discuss where else Fairtrade products can be incorporated into the hotel business.
So folks, when recommending a hotel to business partners, colleagues, family etc, please recommend Pearson Park Hotel. The hotel has an excellent location for access to Hull, a lovely leafy ambience, and now fairtrade refreshments as well.
