Finance, sales, strategy and leadership.

3. What is your favourite thing about Lincolnshire?

Steels fish and chip shop (Cleethorpes) - as a new comer to the area I appreciate the history and the sea food.

We recently had the Conservative Local Government Conference here at the hotel for three days and we received a letter from Councillor Rory Love following the event to praise the team here for their highly efficient approach when dealing with all aspects of the event, and how much he appreciated the accommodating ways in which we handled their high profile speakers. To receive this letter from Councillor Love was a great honour for both me and the team here.
