About Us
Barrington Associates are specialists in marketing and business support for the travel, tourism & hospitality industry.
We love food and fun, travel, creative writing, research, good coffee, Luna (our dog), marketing, fundraising for great causes, learning new things, interesting jobs, watching seeds grow, quirky ideas, walking the South West coast path, creatures, telling a great story and inspirational people.
In 2005 we launched our consultancy incorporating our favourite things (or nearly all of them, “Edible Eden” didn’t quite take off). The result, we have had the privilege of working with hundreds of small rural enterprises and large tourism organisations, helping them to succeed and be their best. Along the way we have had the added bonus of visiting amazing, award-winning tourism businesses and being inspired by some of the best entrepreneurs in the hospitality sector.
We have loads of experience working with great people who are passionate about what they do and want to be the best. They include tourism and hospitality businesses, destinations, local authorities and organisations across the UK all needing practical marketing support, project management or industry workshops/training.
Friendly, knowledgeable and well-connected, we have more than 25 years experience and a proven track record of helping businesses to achieve their aims.
We have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of clients in the South West and the UK.
We’re proud that to be the first port of call for so many businesses in the tourism, travel and hospitality sectors when they need help reach their goals.
