Rupert Spurgeon's Inspirational Journey

Career Path: Receptionist > Grill Chef > Porter > Assistant Food and Beverage Manager > Conference and Banqueting Manager > Event Sales Manager > General Manager

 

“I value each and everyone of my team as part of our family, the better we are at working together the more we can and do excel in our customer service."

My Story: Over the past 20 years in the hotel industry I have gained experience in many types of hotel business from the celebrated city centre London hotel, Brown’s, an island beach resort of 14 luxury villas in the Seychelles to the world renowned golfing resort of Gleneagles in Scotland. This as well as being a hugely rewarding and diverse experience has given me an opportunity to learn many aspects of hospitality, service and an insight into the attention to detail that makes an outstanding hotel.

Funny Story: Being asked at my interview for Brown's Hotel - How many pairs of shoes I owned, if I played Rugby and did I drive.  Three questions and I got the job
