PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
February 2015 – February 2016
Appointed Operations Manager of the Hampstead Britannia Hotel – London.
Reporting to a Cluster Manager I am responsible for running this 135 Bedroom Hotel and
overseeing a “Soft Refurbishment” of the unit. Also heavily involved in controlling operating
costs.
July 2014 – December 2014
I was approached by St. James Hotels to be a Relief General Manager. I operated 3 hotels in
their portfolio, Burley Manor in the New Forest, Southampton Park Hotel in Southampton,
and Stratton House Hotel in Cirencester.
July 2012 – December 2013
I came out of the business for 18 months to help my partner set up a new business venture.
2011 – July 2012 Hotel Manager, Cairn Group of Hotels
Bellhouse Hotel, Beaconsfield 4*
I was responsible for the day to day running of this 145 bedroom hotel with extensive C&B
facilities and a Leisure Spa. Working closely with the Area Manager overseeing the
refurbishment programme aimed at franchising to IHG Crowne Plaza Brand.
Personally responsible for increase in revenue in Restaurant and Bar by introducing
incentives, fixed menu pricing, streamlined wine list, and hosting networking events. The
reduction in room revenue due to lack of investment and refurbishment was offset by
increased Customer Service and Staff Training, resulting in Client Retention and increased
individual spend. I reduced wage cost during my first six months by £40,000 by utilising
resources more efficiently, and maximising occupancy whenever possible. Leisure Club
incentives put in place to increase membership, such as Monthly Membership, and Commuter
Membership. I was responsible for a management team of 9 Heads of Department and 60
staff (full-time and part-time) plus a number of Casual Staff.

basis to help steer hotel standards towards an upgrade to an Accor Hotel.
As a Budget Hotel, the Queens dealt mainly with Coach Parties of overseas students as well
as short stay adult groups. There was no formal Restaurant , and the owners had no desire to
incorporate one. It was anticipated that this would change when the hotel was upgraded, and I
put together initial plans to advertise to the local community, and offer incentives to attract
outside custom. I left the hotel prior to this occurring.
My main area of concern revolved around maintenance issues that occur naturally in a
building over 100 years old. I was responsible for 5 Heads of Department and approximately
50 staff, (Housekeeping was outsourced). I left to seek a more permanent position having
completed the initial phase.
