Bio
Lara Fossat
I have known Marion for over 3 years now and it has been a real pleasure working with her from my time at Rocco Forte Hotels to today with my own consultancy company. Her position at Mr & Mrs Smith gives her a fantastic overview of the hospitality industry, from a product point of view but also from a positioning and sales one. She is always happy to exchange ideas to help improve the visibility and ultimately revenue of the hotels she works with and always has time in her busy schedule to answer questions. I never hesitate to contact her for ideas or to ask her opinion as I know she will give me an objective and fair answer, which is extremely valuable in this particularly difficult time for our industry.

Marion has been an absolute delight to work with from the very first day she joined us here at Mr and Mrs Smith. Incredibly proactive, a fantastic negotiator and really understands how marketing and hotel partnership need to work together to produce the best results for our members. She is a lovely person, an amazing ambassador for the brand and I can't recommend her highly enough.
