Charlotte Hayes · Financial Controller

Dear Nihal,

I wanted to bring a specific profile to your attention ahead of a wider search.

We are currently working with a Financial Controller from The Savoy, where they have spent 12 years owning the full P&L and leading month-end close and owner reporting for a 260-room luxury flagship. Their work is grounded in USALI and structured around the kind of owner-facing financial rigour that properties at The Biltmore Mayfair's positioning genuinely require. It is a directly comparable operational environment, which is what makes this feel like a timely conversation.

They are at senior FC level and available within six weeks.

If the profile sounds relevant, I am happy to share their CV and talk through the detail. No obligation at this stage, just a straightforward conversation if the timing is right.

Kind regards,

Mark

Dear Andrew,

I wanted to bring someone to your attention who I think is a strong fit for the finance function at Brown's Hotel specifically.

This is a Financial Controller with 12 years' experience, currently at The Savoy, where they have owned the full month-end close and prepared owner reporting for a 260-room luxury flagship. That combination of USALI-standard P&L discipline and direct stakeholder reporting to an independent ownership structure maps closely to what Rocco Forte demands at Brown's.

Luxury single-asset accountability at that level is not common in the candidate market, and this individual is genuinely available rather than passively browsing. Six weeks' notice.

I have held back the CV deliberately until we have spoken briefly, as I want to make sure the conversation is worthwhile for both sides. Would a short call this week or next suit you?

Kind regards,

Darren

Dear Raguraman,

Given Edwardian Hotels' continued development of its London portfolio, I wanted to bring a specific profile to your attention rather than your inbox in general.

We are currently representing a Financial Controller with 12 years' experience, most recently at The Savoy, where they ran full month-end close and owner reporting for a 260-room luxury flagship. That means USALI-compliant P&L ownership, Board-level pack preparation, and the stakeholder rigour that comes with a high-scrutiny asset. It is a directly transferable reference point for the scale and reporting expectations your finance function will be managing.

They are available on six weeks' notice, and their background sits firmly within London luxury rather than branded-budget or contract catering, which I think matters here.

Worth a brief conversation? I can share the CV and a fuller briefing at your convenience.

Kind regards,
Darren

Marcin,

With The Peninsula London now operating in direct competition at the ultra-luxury end of the market, the pressure on your finance function to deliver rigorous owner reporting and clean USALI-standard P&Ls will only sharpen.

I have a Financial Controller who has spent 12 years doing exactly that at The Savoy. She has owned month-end close and full owner reporting across a 260-room luxury flagship, the kind of property where the standards of presentation and analysis genuinely leave no margin for approximation.

She is structured, commercially sharp, and has operated at a seniority level where she has dealt directly with ownership-side scrutiny. Available in six weeks, and her current package is on the CV rather than in this note.

If the timing is right and you would like to see the detail, I am happy to share her profile.

Kind regards,

Darren,

With Soho House expanding its UK venue pipeline, I wanted to put one specific candidate in front of you.

We are currently representing a Financial Controller with 12 years' experience, most recently at The Savoy, where they have owned the full month-end cycle and delivered owner-level reporting across a 260-room luxury flagship. USALI is second nature, and the discipline they have built around the controls function is exactly what a business needs when it is scaling at pace.

The reason I am reaching out to you specifically is straightforward. Growth phases in multi-site luxury hospitality tend to expose gaps in financial controls quickly. This person has the senior credibility and the operational fluency to hold that function together from day one, not after a settling-in period.

They are available on six weeks' notice. Happy to share the CV if useful.

Kind regards,

Sarah

Gary,

I wanted to put a specific candidate in front of you rather than lead with a CV blind.

We're currently working with a Financial Controller who has spent 12 years at The Savoy, owning the full month-end close and owner reporting cycle for a 260-room luxury flagship. Their grounding is firmly in USALI-standard P&L and the kind of disciplined, board-ready reporting that owner-managed properties demand with no tolerance for loose numbers.

Firmdale's portfolio struck me as a genuine fit. The move from a single iconic property into a leaner, high-accountability FC seat across a collection of luxury London boutiques is a logical and motivating step, and the owner-reporting rigour they've built is directly transferable to your structure.

They're available on six weeks' notice and are selective about where they go next, which is partly why I'm approaching you first.

Worth a brief call?

Kind regards,
Dan
