Life outside of the hotel 

Outside the hotel, Paul is a keen golfer, once playing off single figures and now enjoying the game in a more relaxed, semi-retired fashion. His calm presence and passion for both hospitality and people are reflected in every aspect of his work.

“True hospitality is when someone feels at home in your presence.

At The Victoria Hotel it is quite clear that the Brend Passion for customer service really allows both customers and staff to feel like they are in the warmest of environments. It is inspiring that we have staff and guests that have spent over half their lives in this Fantastic Hotel. It is a true inspiration for the meaning of Hospitality."
