THE COMPASS Group has returned the Forte business name to
the Forte family.
Compass returned the name as a gift following the sale of the
Forte hotel portfolio.
Compass group chief executive Michael Bailey said: “Final
details are still being arranged but this will include all trade mark
registrations, together with domain names for use on the Internet, subject to
the continuation of all agreed licences and pre-existing arrangements. We are
delighted to continue to play our part in ensuring that the family is once
again able to take on responsibility for the use of their name.”
There will be a transitional period during which time
certain hotels using the Forte name will continue to do so.
