Gateway Hampshire comments on Southampton hospital that is making strides under Chaloner Robert Chaloner a long time hospital administrator experienced in guiding medical facilities in the right direction was appointed the CEO of the Southampton hospital in 2006, at this time the hospital was in a casualty itself, In a recent interview Mr Chaloner stated that at the time he had taken over “staff morale was low, public perception wasn't what it should be and the finances were in bad shape" But now in 2012 Chaloner can now say “The hospital is not in a crisis anymore." If recent record-breaking donations are any indication, the South Fork's faith in its only hospital is greater than ever" A source of Gateway Hampshire has said that “Appointing Mr Chaloner CEO of Southampton Hospital was the best decision the hospital had made, the transformation in just four years is outstanding" Chaloner is no stranger to the medical profession, he has been a hospital administrator for over 30 years after following in the footsteps of his father who was once a small town doctor became chief of the medical staff and his mother who was a nurse on the board. Chaloner first served as CEO for The Bon Secours and Canterbury Partnership in 1997 then in 2001 was headhunted by a recruiter for the Cabrini medical centre in Manhattan, Chaloner was on his way to his interview with Cabrini when the second plane struck the world trade centre on September 11th 2001, he later went for his interview and got the job he describes this as a “labor of love," Although in 2006 the Berger Commission decided that as the hospital was financially a disaster it had to close and in 2008 it did just that. Robert Chaloner came to Southampton for an interview in 2006, before this his visits to the Hamptons were brief, he arrived in the early hours and drove around ‘Gin Lane' he recalls thinking to himself “I could do this, It's pretty spectacular out here" When he took over the Southampton hospital the finances were in pretty bad shape although nowhere near as bad as what he had seen in Cabrini, a source for gateway Hampshire commented saying “While at Cabrini Chaloner was rocked slightly with not being able to get the hospital out of financial disaster and was determined not to let the same thing strike twice" Along with Chief Nursing Officer Patricia Darcey they were able to turn the hospital around, together they added doctors and residencies and profitable satellite offices across the South Fork. The publics perception of the hospital was very low, the hospital was a joke commonly used at cocktail parties, Chaloner visited with every local organization to hear their concerns about the hospital when he came on board, Our source from Gateway Hampshire has stated “In doing this Mr Chaloner gained the respect and confidence that was well needed from the public" Now the hospital just had a record-breaking year for philanthropy, taking in more than $6 million in contributions. South Hampton hospital has come along way in the short space of four years; Chaloner has overseen facilities improvements, including a remodelled emergency room. But he says the ultimate goal is to build a new hospital, possibly on the Stony Brook Southampton campus he says “it is an ideal location, between two highways for ease of access and with educational opportunities" http://westhampton-hamptonbays.patch.com/articles/robert-...

Good Read... A 1950s concrete office building in Southampton city centre, formerly occupied by Lloyds Bank, will be demolished to make way for a new multi-million-pound 84-bedroom hotel, built by budget hotel group Travelodge. The new hotel promises to bring twenty jobs to the city, the majority of which will be offered to the long-term unemployed through the job centre in Southampton. The hotel is expected to open early next year. Dan Tanner, managing director of local sales and marketing firm Gateway Hampshire commented, saying, “It's a really good thing for the city, especially in this economic climate. Any enterprise that provides new employment is very welcome." There is still a shortage of rooms in the city, despite a number of new hotels opening in the city centre in recent years, according to Travelodge bosses, who are on the hunt for further sites in the city. The company already operates a hotel in Lodge Road in Southampton, and is preparing to open another opposite Eastleigh railway station. CHG Developments, the owners of the Castle Way property, which has been vacant for some time, signed an undisclosed deal for the site with Travelodge after Lloyds vacated the building. “CHG Development Ltd has developed five Travelodge hotels for us across the south of England, and we are delighted to have agreed another deal with them," said Tony O'Brien, UK development director for Travelodge. Mr. Tanner from Gateway Hampshire noted that the hotels would not only provide employment locally, but also increase tourism, which supports the local economy. “Southampton has a clear lack of hotel rooms, so we are delighted to have secured a great location for our second central hotel," commented Steve Tyler, development manager for Travelodge Hotels, “We have not yet fulfilled our requirement in Southampton, however, and are actively looking for another site near the ferry terminal." Council leader Royston Smith welcomed the news, saying: “It's the private sector investing to create more jobs in the city to fill the void created by the public sector, which has got to be a good thing." Mr. Tanner from Gateway Hampshire commented that projects like this also contribute to the rejuvenation of the city centre, which is always a positive move. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/district/southampton/9515876.Budget_hotel_group_unveils_city_vision/

Southampton, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/06/2012 -- Gateway Hampshire is a sales and marketing company based in Southampton and is thrilled to hear that the city is expecting a Titanic memorial Museum. A source from the company said, ‘this will definitely attract more tourists to our city.' Half a million pounds of lottery money has been given to develop a new Titanic memorial in Southampton. A new museum charting the story of the ill-fated liner could be built in the southern English city in time for the 100th anniversary of the sinking in 2012. This sinking of this almighty ship will never be forgotten. The £28m project in Southampton, from where the liner set sail in 1912 on her maiden voyage, is set to feature a climb-aboard replica of the ship. But the announcement yesterday has met with anger in Belfast after a similar commemorative project had been turned down for lottery funding. Gateway Kent comments saying, ‘we can understand that the people in Belfast are upset by this announcement.' The Heritage Lottery Fund has awarded almost £500,000 in development funding to the Southampton project, with the potential for a further £4.5m towards construction. The story of the disaster - when the ship hit an iceberg causing the loss of 1,523 lives - and the finding of the wreck will be part of the exhibition. About 4,000 items from the ship are also set to be displayed within galleries. Plans are currently under way to build a Titanic Signature Project in the Titanic Quarter of Belfast. Initially the building was one of three local projects which were in the running for funding from the Big Lottery Fund just two years ago. The Executive has since agreed to provide half the funding with a range of other agencies, including Belfast City Council, the Harbour Commissioners and Titanic Charitable Foundation also contributing. Former Belfast Lord Mayor Jim Rodgers said it was disappointing that the Belfast project had not |received lottery money, while the Southampton project had been selected. “It is disappointing to hear that money will be going to another project,' he said. ‘People seem to forget that Titanic was built in our shipyards at Harland and Wolff. A lot of other cities around the world have claimed Titanic in some way. Ultimately, we have been very slow to catch up and that's something we need to look at very closely." Gateway Hampshire has experienced massive growth since opening their doors this year and please to know that there will be another reason for tourists to visit Southampton. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/southampton-gets-titanic-museum-ahead-of-belfast-14249886.html#ixzz1lbK9tG2G http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/southampton-gets-titanic-museum-ahead-of-belfast-14249886.html
