The Apartment Service

    Issue 95 - January 2010
 
 
Dear Reader,
 
Welcome to the January 2010 Issue of our newsletter. 
 
First of all, I would like to wish you a very prosperous, good and especially healthy 2010. 2009 has been a challenging year for many with the collapse of the financial markets and hopefully this new year will see a turnaround.
The Apartment Service is looking forward to the new year. Soon we will be adding more features to our website and we are already busy preparing for our participation in the Business Travel and Meetings Show in Earls Court in February.
We hope to continue to build on the success of our recent openings of apartments in Madrid and various Greater London locations. We also include some new items in our newsletter over the next few months, the first one being the re-introduction of the City Focus.
 
As always, we welcome your suggestions and feed-back. Please send an email to tasnews@apartment.co.uk or better still, visit our blog and engage in the discussion.
