"I joined The Coniston at 17 as a trainee receptionist apprentice and, 27 years on, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside the hotel.  From those early days to my current role as Director of Key Accounts & Strategic Partnerships, I’ve been fortunate to experience every part of the business, from operations and events to commercial leadership."

"I've worked in many varied types of hotels, but there's something very special about the estate. The sense of community and family was visible to me from day one. A team of people working for one cause, and all pulling in the same direction – to offer the best possible experience for our guest."

"The Coniston is a really special place – as I always say, not many hotels are set on a 1,400-acre private estate in the Yorkshire Dales!  With that amount of space, and the offering we have, we can make anything happen here for our guests.  I also love the history of the estate, from its establishment in the 1840s, to the Bannister family taking it on in 1969, and creating the business we see today."

"I’ve been part of The Coniston family for over 20 years, starting as a receptionist and working my way through a variety of roles, from Head Receptionist and Guest Services Manager to my current position as Head of Sales. Throughout my time here, the Bannister family have been a true inspiration offering guidance and support that has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally. I love the variety of guests we welcome and the opportunity to make a difference to each and every stay. The teamwork across all departments is second to none."
