THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS ROLE
This role crucially streamlines our operations, enabling the director to concentrate on high-impact decisions and creating company growth. By continually refining operational processes and manuals, it ensures maximum efficiency and positions us as a forward-thinking industry leader in the Lake District.
WHY WE’RE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK
Our services are tailored to meet the distinct needs of two primary audiences. First, we cater to trade contractors and professional workers who find themselves seeking accommodation while working away from home. Understanding the limitations of traditional hotel stays, we offer these professionals a unique “home away from home” experience, providing the comfort, space, and tranquility necessary to unwind after a long day’s work.
Simultaneously, we specialize in hosting large family groups of 12-20 members who desire unforgettable holidays in the Lake District. We’re dedicated to ensuring a seamless, five-star experience from the initial booking to the final farewell. Our properties serve as the backdrop for cherished memories, offering ample space and a scenic locale for families to reconvene, celebrate, and strengthen bonds. We’re not just providing a place to stay; we’re facilitating joyous family gatherings that will be remembered for years to come.
Our dynamic team consists of two main directors at the helm, supported by a diligent facilities manager responsible for overseeing cleaners and stock checks, and a maintenance manager who adeptly addresses damages, repairs, and refurbishments of new properties. Our operations are further streamlined with the expertise of an accountant VA and the dedication of two admin assistant VAs, who proficiently handle booking nuances, guest communications, and listing details. While we’re proud recipients of the Certificate of Excellence 2023, our real triumph lies in our exponential growth—from zero properties in 2019 to a robust portfolio of over 40 in just about three years. This remarkable expansion is not just a metric of our success but a testament to our unwavering dedication, hard work, and competitive edge in the hospitality sector. Our rapid growth and the excellence we deliver in every aspect of our service are what truly set us apart in this industry.
