Corporate Housing Providers Association - CHPACorporate Housing Providers Association - CHPA
The parent company of SilverDoor this week announced the launch of a new sister company: Ariosi – a consultancy business for the hospitality and corporate housing sector.
A new Consultancy Service for the Corporate Housing sector
Ariosi Group Limited. will provide bespoke, independent advice to help corporate housing and hospitality businesses maximize their output and performance. The new brand and visual identity was unveiled in public for the first time and the team behind the company introduced its range of services.
The Habicus group currently compries corporate housing agent SilverDoor; luxury short-term rentals agent Domus Stay and, now, Ariosi.
Ariosi will help businesses develop capability, capacity and productivity through strategic consultancy, data and insights, and industry-specific training courses.
An entirely separate business from SilverDoor sitting within the Habicus Group, Ariosi will be led by new Chief Operations Officer, Joanna Cross. Joanna is joined by Tracie Crombie who will take up the role as Head of Training for Ariosi.
Both Joanna and Tracie will be well-known to many in the corporate housing industry; Joanna is the former Managing Director of Clarendon Apartments and Sales and Revenue Manager at Supercity, and Tracie spent 15 years with Dolphin Square while running a consultancy for hotels and serviced accommodation. Sacha Sandhar, former International Expansion Manager at SilverDoor was previously a Commercial Analyst at Thomson Reuters and Serco; he joins Ariosi as Head of Insights.
Ariosi COO Joanna Cross said:
“We’re experiencing an unprecedented level of investor resilience, sector maturity, institutional appetite and a narrowing yield gap between hotels and Corporate Housing. Corporate Housing is no longer the poor cousin.
The continuing increase in market share represents a tremendous opportunity for operators to improve performance and profitability. We believe there’s value to the corporate housing industry in creating a centralised hub of knowledge, resource and advice. That’s what we are here to do”
Group CEO Stuart Winstone added:
“The group board and shareholders have long recognised the opportunity to harness intercompany opportunities, and the idea of a non-agency consultancy within our group is something we’ve been discussing for a long time. To combine the industry experience of Joanna and Tracie, with Sacha’s data and research background to lead this business is a truly formidable partnership and yet another jewel in the crown of our group of companies.”
The Ariosi brand name and visual identity was created and developed in partnership with Lancaster-based brand and digital consultancy EXP. Tom Grattan, Managing Director & Co-owner said of the project:
Tom Grattan, Managing Director & Co-owner said of the project:
“It’s been a pleasure to work with the company group on this exciting project and see Ariosi come to life. We formed a great working relationship with the team, completing in-depth competitor research, developing brand strategy and proposition, and ultimately an identity that complements the existing brands within the parent company.
The Ariosi identity reflects the company’s focus on data, insight, and growth, with ‘wings’ inspired by tangible growth, elevated performance, and a sense of rising together.”
