Kate started her career in hospitality in London as a graduate trainee, spending 10 years with Thistle & Guoman hotels and holding a variety of management positions within the group. She went on to run a central London property for Millennium & Copthorne hotels before joining the De Vere group in one of their meeting and leisure-focused hotels in Greenwich. In 2016, Kate joined the world of serviced apartments and took on the running of Cheval Gloucester Park, 100 luxury apartments in Kensington, with Cheval Residences. In early 2017, she moved across to take the helm as General Manager for the flagship Cheval Three Quays property and the nearby Cheval Calico House.
Kate travelled extensively as a child, having been brought up on board a 42-foot sailing boat. She believes this experience had a strong influence on her chosen career in travel and hospitality, and shaped her desire to create a home-from-home environment for others. She strongly believes that success in hospitality is all about hiring the right people.
