How a strategic purchasing partnership helped Dormio Resorts & Hotels successfully grow across Europe
Dormio Resorts & Hotels is a growing leisure accommodation business, with locations across key European holiday destinations.
Their relationship with Trinity started modestly, with a contract that has helped Dormio reduce payment transaction fees. The strategic purchasing partnership has continued to grow from there!
“It was quite easy to do more together,” says Serge van der Heijden, Director Operations for Dormio Resorts & Hotels, “as you’re always looking for ways to improve your purchasing.”
The Dormio group is an established holiday resort developer, managing construction and unit sales. Since 2012, the group opted to create its own resort management business. The group has grown into new territories, with the help of Trinity Purchasing team.
“As we built the holiday resorts, and sold individual units, starting a management business demonstrated confidence in our product,” says Serge van der Heijden.
The Dutch team found Trinity’s support invaluable when opening their first properties in France. “We struggled to source local linen supplies, so it was great to have the local network of Trinity. It was a big help as they could link us with the right providers.”
Today, the Dormio team manages ten sites, with a further four opening before the end of 2023. As property manager, the group handles everything from housekeeping and maintenance of individual apartments and villas, to the operation of central park facilities.
“Trinity’s locally based teams, their in-depth industry knowledge and longstanding supplier partnerships provide the strategic purchasing support that we need as we grow across Europe. We also benefit from Trinity’s global purchasing power, with competitive prices across a complete spectrum of products and services for hospitality operators. The support Trinity provides differs from resort to resort and from country to country, and we’re reviewing how we can work closer together,” says Serge. “As we grow, there are more possibilities!”
