Warwick Conferences invest in talent…

Two new sales managers have been recruited. Lorna Davison joins in a full time role, alongside Chris Jones who joins as part-time. Lorna, who once worked as a chef at Claridges, comes to Warwick Conferences following seven years at Stoneleigh Park as events manager.

Chris returns to the industry after a five year break. Having worked at leading business travel agency Carlson Wagonlit in London, Chris also brings with her a wealth of experience within the events industry.

Chris comments: “It’s great to get back into the events industry. With my new role I’m certainly keen to utilise my existing customer service skills in this dynamic market. Warwick Conferences poses a new, but exciting challenge.”

Joining the business development team as sales researcher is, Krithi Bhandari. Krithi’s role is to support the team in maintaining relationships with Warwick’s new and existing customers. Having studied Communications and PR at Sheffield University, she has a keen understanding of relationship building and effective communication.

Lastly, Kerry Steward, has been appointed as event manager for the Conference Park. Kerry has held previous positions in both sales and events at several luxury hotel chains and brings with her a wealth of experience within the hospitality industry. Not all of Kerry’s past positions have been within hospitality - during four years living in Australia, Kerry once worked at a kangaroo sanctuary.

Kerry Steward, event manager at Warwick Conferences said: “I was attracted to the position at Warwick Conferences because of the challenge its presents of adapting my experience within the luxury hotel market to such a large and diverse selection of facilities.”
