I was born in Wolverhampton, I am married with three daughters and two dogs – a chocolate Labrador and a Miniature Daschund.

I have worked in the hotel industry since the late 1980's. One of my most memorable experiences was whilst as Operations Manager at the Park Thistle, Cardiff in 1998; we were the destination hotel for the European Summit, and I was responsible for six months of planning, along with four days of hospitality and liaison for the British Government, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office, and Nelson Mandela no less!

As a Chartered Accountant, I oversee all financial aspects of the business, whilst retaining a keen eye on standards of care and services for guests with our operational team. I also take great pleasure from showing prospective wedding couples and their families our facilities and offerings here at Rowton Castle.
