Andrew Sangster launched Hotel Analyst more than 13 years ago and it has grown into a publishing business that now encompasses a paid subscription service for hotel investors, a reports division and events.

There are three London-based conferences: The Hotel Distribution Event; The Hotel Alternatives Event; and the Hotel Operations Conference. You can find out more about the events and Hotel Analyst at www.hotelanalyst.co.uk.

Andrew has been a journalist for his entire career, starting out on trade press titles before joining the national press and a brief spell at the BBC. He launched his own business focused on providing high level information on a subscription basis after despairing at the quality of what the old business model of selling advertising space was producing.

Andrew holds a BSc in economics and a MA in journalism. He lives in Cambridge with his wife and three children.
