Two Decades at Brend Collection
Magdalena began her journey with Brend Collections in September 2005. As part of her university education, she completed a work placement at Saunton Sands Hotel, where she went on to work as a waitress for two years while travelling home for her exams. After earning her degree in Travel and Tourism, Magdalena decided to stay in England and pursue a career in the hospitality industry.
She then worked briefly at Carlyon Bay Hotel before moving to the Imperial Hotel, where she earned her first promotion to Restaurant Supervisor. After eight years at The Imperial Hotel, she embraced a new challenge, joining the management team at 62 The Bank and the Royal and Fortescue Hotel, where she hasn't looked back since.
Today, Magdalena serves as Operations Manager, while also overseeing events across the hotel, where she continues to flourish. Magda's hard work, dedication and passion for excellence are what set her apart, and we are lucky to have her as part of the Brend Collection team.
"I have learned how hard work, however challenging, can motivate and be rewarding. My favourite part about working is the relationships I’ve built over the years, not only with customers, but with other Brend employees along the way.
Also as our work is very team-based, it's great being able to work together and be trusted to support younger staff members on their journey." Magdalena Bartoszew, Operations Manager
