She brings a wealth of experience, having worked for JJW Hotels & Resorts as well as The Roxburghe Hotel.

Johnston said: “This is an amazing industry. I want more people seeing hospitality as a career choice, and not just as a part-time gap. There’s career opportunities, it’s rewarding, and you learn valuable skills for life.”

The Manorview Hotels & Leisure Group formed in 2007 with the purchase of The Commercial Hotel in Wishaw. The portfolio now counts eight hotels, two pubs, two nightclubs, a leisure club and luxury spa.

David Tracey, Manorview Group, managing director, said, “Our head of people role is an incredibly important one for us. The Manorview culture is very people-focussed and while we’ve been busy implementing lots of initiatives over the past three years, there’s still so much more we want to achieve and progress towards. Claire’s appointment will help drive our journey, and we’re delighted she’s joined our team.”
