Are you a polished, strategic sales professional with a passion for luxury hospitality and a strong network in London’s high-end corporate and events market?
We’re seeking an exceptional Business Development Manager to join a stunning and exclusive hotel nestled in the heart of Rutland – a property renowned for its charm, elegance, and world-class service. This is a rare opportunity to take the lead on developing our footprint within the premium 5-star hotel sector, targeting discerning London-based clients and luxury-focused agencies.
