UK: Cheval Residences has undergone an internal restructure, to include internal promotions, and general managers moving properties.
Ben Pires, former operations manager at Cheval Harrington Court in South Kensington, has been promoted to general manager of both Cheval Knightsbridge and Cheval Phoenix House.
The promotion of Ben Pires coincides with an internal restructure whereby all of the existing general managers within the group have moved to different properties for 2017. Kate Fletcher is now general manager of Cheval Three Quays and Cheval Calico House, Allison Mitchell is general manager of Cheval Gloucester Park and Cheval Harrington Court, Fergel Twomey is general manager of Cheval Thorney Court and Cheval Hyde Park Gate and Fiona Mullins has been promoted from house manager to operations manager at Cheval Harrington Court.
The company has also recently promoted Paula Spittlehouse from human resources manager to head of human resources.
For the first time, Cheval Residences has employed an in-house lawyer, Laura Prosser. Prosser is a dual qualified solicitor (Scotland and England) with more than 12 years’ experience gained in the real estate sector and the hospitality industry. Previously, she held senior associate roles in the City of London, at global law firms Ashurst LLP and DLA Piper UK LLP. She has joined Cheval Residences as the group’s first general counsel and is responsible for all legal matters pertaining to the business of the group.
George Westwell, director of Cheval Residences, said: “We have always strived to ensure that we can offer our employees the opportunity to develop within the company and we are thrilled to be able to offer internal promotions. Our recent internal restructure has involved each of our general managers moving to a new residence for 2017 – which we believe will offer fresh insight and new, creative ideas for each of these properties. The quality of our London portfolio is clear from customer feedback on TripAdvisor and we are very proud of all of our staff for continuing to maintain our standards of excellence.”
