Hannah Brooks · Finance Manager

Paul,

I wanted to bring someone to your attention who I think is a strong fit for Hand Picked Hotels specifically, not just the sector in general.

They are a Finance Manager with six years at The Pig Hotels, where they have had full ownership of both restaurant and rooms P&L across a rural boutique group. That combined model is precisely what your country house properties across the South of England run, so the operational and reporting context they are walking out of maps directly onto what your finance team manages day to day. No property-type learning curve, no adjustment period on the revenue mix.

They are available on four weeks' notice and are open to a move for the right role.

I have kept their CV back at this stage, as I prefer to check fit first. If the profile sounds relevant, I am happy to send it over and talk through the detail.

Kind regards,
Darren

Dear Agnes,

I wanted to bring a candidate to your attention who I think is a strong fit for your Finance Manager opening at Hotel Du Vin Southampton.

They have spent six years at The Pig Hotels, where they owned the combined restaurant and rooms P&L across a rural boutique estate, exactly the dual-revenue complexity that defines a property like yours. Southampton's operation carries a prominent restaurant alongside its boutique rooms, and this candidate has already navigated that structure day-to-day, including owner reporting and USALI-standard management accounts, so there is no ramp-up period.

They are mid-level, commercially minded, and available on four weeks' notice.

I have kept this note brief by design. If the profile sounds relevant, I am happy to send the full CV and discuss further at a time that suits you.

Kind regards,

Dan

Dear Joanna,

With Harbour Hotels continuing to grow its restaurant-led boutique estate across the South Coast, I wanted to put a specific candidate in front of you rather than send a speculative note.

We are currently representing a Finance Manager with six years at The Pig Hotels, where they held full P&L ownership across both restaurant and rooms for a rural independent boutique group. That is a relatively rare combination at this level, particularly within the boutique and lifestyle sector where food and beverage revenue is often as significant as accommodation.

Given Harbour's direction of travel, this feels like a directly transferable hire rather than a candidate who would need time to find their feet in the model.

They are available on four weeks' notice and are open to discussing the right opportunity now.

Would it be worth a brief call this week? I can send the full CV once you have had a chance to consider.

Kind regards,
Sarah

Dear Ildiko,

I wanted to bring someone to your attention who I think is a strong fit for a Finance Manager role within Cheval Collection.

They have spent six years as Finance Manager at The Pig Hotels, with direct ownership of both rooms and restaurant P&L across a rural boutique group. That combined revenue responsibility is fairly uncommon at Finance Manager level, and it maps closely to the way Cheval blends accommodation and food and beverage income across its serviced apartment and aparthotel portfolio.

They are not coming from a large branded chain background, so the independent-minded, owner-focused reporting culture you operate in will not be a learning curve for them.

Availability is four weeks. I have not shared their CV elsewhere at this stage, so there is a genuine first-look opportunity here.

Worth a brief conversation? I am happy to send full details once you confirm interest.

Kind regards,
Mark
