We would like to say a massive thank you to Hollie, who has been our General Manager last 3 and a half years 🤍

Hollie isn’t leaving the company.. just moving onto a new role within Surya Hotels! So you’ll still see her around ☺️

She has worked hard consistently over the years to ensure the happiness of all staff and guests, and the whole George family, past and present, agree that she is a huge credit to the team. Always with a smile on her face, and always making everyone laugh, she will be missed daily!

Good luck in your new role Hollie, and we wish you all the continued success 🤍
