Senior appointments at Stoke Rochford Hall

Stoke Rochford Hall Hotel, near Grantham, has appointed a new general manager, John McKitterick, and business development manager, Jessie Reeve.

The move comes a year after hoteliers Ravi and Sanjay Kathuria of Talash Hotels bought Stoke Rochford Hall Hotel and Golf Resort.

McKitterick said: “This is a wonderful hotel, with plenty of scope and I see this as a tremendous opportunity. We have seen a real surge in people wanting to get married here, as well as companies seeking a striking venue for corporate events. We have a great team and venue and I am very much looking forward to achieving an even higher level of hospitality and guest experience.”

Reeve, from Crowland also has a number of years working in hotels including the Nottingham Belfry, Woodlands Hotel and the Lincoln Double Tree by Hilton, as well as in event management including organising Europe’s largest transport festivals ‘Truckfest’.

She describes her new role as “a dream job” and said: “I attended a wedding at the hotel as a guest and just fell in love with it. It’s a wonderful place with a real wow factor and the history is amazing. I am so proud to be representing the hotel and inviting both the local community and our travelling guests to enjoy Stoke Rochford as much as I do.”
