Rob Warren has joined the team at the four-AA-star Hardwick Hall hotel as general manager.
Warren joins the 51-bedroom hotel near Sedgefield in Durham following the completion of its £500,000 refurbishment. He was formerly general manager at Harrogate's Yorkshire hotel, and a cluster general manager with Akkeron Hotels Group.
Hardwick Hall is part of Ramside Estates, a third-generation family business owned by John Adamson, which also owns the 19-bedroom Bowburn Hall hotel and the four-AA-silver-star, 128-bedroom hotel Ramside Hall near Carrville.
Adamson said: "We are keen to build on our reputation as a first class wedding, conference and leisure venue, and I have every confidence that Rob is the right person to help us achieve that."
