How The Howes Group Became The Howes Group
The Howes Group was founded by Brenda Howes in 1995 after an earlier career as an event and conference planner.
THG quickly expanded its reach, serving clients from coast-to-coast and eventually globally while always maintaining the commitment to the principles of fair, logical and balanced.
With Brenda’s expertise in venue selection and her business partner (and husband) Rod’s financial insight, this duo has built solid relationships with every major hotel group, allowing them to advocate effectively for their clients.
Today, The Howes Group stands as a trusted leader, offering a one-stop site selection experience that saves time, reduces costs, and navigates the many potential pitfalls of a substandard foundational contract.
