Independent Venue Finding Consultant

Become an HB Associate - A Flexible Career in Venue Sourcing

Are you looking for a new challenge that fits around your lifestyle?

At HelmsBriscoe (HB), we help businesses find and book the right hotels and venues for their meetings and events, saving them time and money. We're now inviting motivated individuals to join us as HB Associates - independent business owners who enjoy flexibility, community, and the satisfaction of helping clients succeed.

This is a brilliant opportunity to start a new chapter and be your own boss, but with the full support of a global leader behind you. It's the perfect way to build something for yourself, allowing you to fit your work around your life, not the other way around.

What we're looking for:

We find that the best people for this role bring a wealth of life experience. If you've worked in roles like sales, hospitality, PA/EA, or anything that involves organising people and negotiating, then you already have the key skills to do well. Your established network and ability to chat to people are your biggest assets.

This is your chance to run your own business without the usual headaches of starting completely from scratch. We provide the training, the systems, and the reputable brand name; you bring your experience and drive to build your client base.

What is the role?

You will be supporting clients who need accommodation or function space for groups of 10+ people - from business meetings, training courses and conferences to retreats, family gatherings, and sporting events. Your role will be to research suitable hotels and venues, negotiate the best deals, and provide excellent service with the backing of HB's global reputation.

Why should you join HelmsBriscoe (HB)?

As an HB Associate, you have the freedom and flexibility to create the lifestyle you want while being supported by a global network of more than 1,500 Associates across 60+ countries. You'll benefit from full training, mentoring, and access to HB's trusted partnerships with hotels and venues worldwide - giving you the tools to succeed and the community to support you.

Where do the clients come from?

You will begin with your own network - colleagues, friends, and neighbours - many of whom work for small and medium-sized organisations that regularly need accommodation or space for meetings, training courses, or team events. These local companies are the backbone of our client base. For example, it could be:

• A local accountancy firm booking a training day,
• A charity arranging a staff away day, or
• A regional sales team holding a quarterly meeting.

As you grow, you'll expand beyond your immediate circle to a wide range of SMEs and organisations. With HB's brand, reputation, and resources behind you, you'll have the credibility and support to win and enjoy working with clients in your community and beyond.

Is there a cost and how is money earned?

There is no fee to join HelmsBriscoe. Once your client contracts with a hotel or venue, HB invoices the property and pays you a share of the commission. Your earnings grow with each successful booking - from a few meetings to building a thriving business.
