A day with Sir Alex
Fifth Ring’s Ian Ord spent the day with Manchester United legend, Sir Alex Ferguson who was in the north east to launch the renovated 17th century stable block at Meldrum House Country Hotel and Golf Course, in November.
Ian was on hand to make sure that everything ran according to plan and that Sir Alex was looked after, which included a round of golf on the spectacular 18-hole course in the afternoon before joining 100 guests for the official opening and dinner party in the evening.
We also took care of the media relations surrounding the launch, which involved arranging interviews between Sir Alex and the media, setting up photography and preparing a press release to be distributed the press.
“It was a truly fantastic day,” said Ian. “This is a huge investment for Meldrum House, so to have Sir Alex officially open the new conference centre and apartments was very fitting indeed. Speaking as a Manchester United fan, getting to spend some time with Sir Alex was a real inspiration.”
Meldrum House has invested £2.5 million in a development programme to transform the stable block into 13 modern, luxury suites for guests, augmenting the nine already available at Meldrum House itself and five rooms in the historic Chain Lodge.
In addition, the A-listed stable block, which dates back to 1628, also houses new conference facilities that can accommodate up to 50 delegates. The conference centre has an impressive vaulted ceiling and is fully equipped – including sound and IT systems – for the modern corporate and residential conference markets.
