Lennoxlove House, one of Scotland’s premier historic country homes, has appointed Katherine Wilson as its Events Manager, as the much-loved home of the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton gears up to re-open in July after a major renovation.
Bringing a wealth of experience, Katherine, who previously worked at the Marriott Dalmohoy Hotel, will be responsible for establishing a distinctive events calendar that compliments Lennoxlove House’s colourful heritage, historically significant interiors, private art collections and extensive grounds. She will also co-ordinate the corporate bookings and weddings which will help to re-position Lennoxlove House as a unique place to stay and hold an event.
Dating back to the 1300s and located in East Lothian, just 20 miles from Edinburgh, Lennoxlove House has already attracted bookings from golfers, brides and a high profile charity looking to create a dazzling fundraising dinner.
The General Manager for Lennoxlove House, said:
“Katherine brings exactly the right combination of experience and enthusiasm for the task ahead. Lennoxlove House is a fabulous place, with strong connections to Scotland’s history both nationally and locally and the plan is to create events that will continue to build on our relationships with the local community, with Scots and overseas tourists.
“Underpinning, all of this will be a standard of service that instantly creates a feeling of ‘home’. Essentially, for its opulence and luxury, Lennoxlove House is a home, and we want everyone who comes here to feel that kind of welcome and uncompromising and warm hospitality that you would get if you visited relatives.”
Katherine Wilson said:
“This is quite a remarkable opportunity. A tremendous amount of passion and pride has gone into the renovation of Lennoxlove House and that is immediately obvious when you step foot in the place. It has a character and charm which I believe will make any event quite unique. The opportunity is to create a calendar of events that inspires all kinds of people to visit and experience Lennoxlove House.”
