MediaConcepts, experienced provider of integrated digital solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced that its Founder & CEO, John Bowen, will be re-locating to the UK at the end of June.

A British citizen, John moved out to Asia in 1988 and has since lived and worked in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Singapore. He founded the company in 2002 in Singapore where he's been based for the last 19 years.

"Having established a strong team in Singapore, I feel the time is right for me to grow our presence in Europe," said, John Bowen. "Even when technology has made communication so easy across continents and time zones, nothing beats being in the same room with our clients and sharing ideas. Moving back to the UK will make these meetings with Europe-based clients that much more accessible. I will, of course, continue to travel back to Asia to spend time with our clients and my team. "

The MediaConcepts team in Singapore has accumulated a wealth of industry knowledge and experience through working closely with global hospitality clients headquartered in both Asia and Europe. Extending its core expertise in designing and developing websites with integrated booking and personalisation capabilties, the company recently introduced a mobile app, Priscilla, that is preparing to transform the guest experience beyond browsing and booking.

John's re-location to the UK signifies MediaConcepts' expansion plans for Europe. The company has been a business partner of the British Hospitality Association since 2015 and began active participation in industry events such as the International Hotel Technology Forum in Dusseldorf, Germany, this year.
