Sian Sayward MCIPS
Director of People, Partnerships and Strategic Projects
“I’ve worked in the hospitality and travel industry for over 30 years. In my current role, I am responsible for the People, Talent and Compliance Team, Commercial Partnerships and Strategic Projects. I’m a creative thinker dedicated not only to achieving commercial success for Inntel but also to the growth of the Business Travel, Meetings, and Events industries. I help to promote this growth through my joint role as Past Chair and Governance Director for the industry trade association – beam. I also sit on many action groups, steering groups and committees within our industry. I’m passionate about driving best practices forward and will always question the status quo or challenge the norm.
As a parent of a child with complex additional needs, I’m passionate about increasing understanding and acceptance of disabilities and promoting diversity. I volunteer within the Education and Welfare Rights sector, advocating for others who need legal advice and support.
Outside of work, my two teenage sons keep me very busy! In any rare moments of downtime, you will find me chilling out, reading a good book with Meatloaf’s greatest hits on in the background. ”
