Mother & Daughter duo...

Sue and Nicola have been a part of the Brend Collection team for a combined total of over 50 years. They have both played a vital role in the development and success of The Royal & Fortescue Hotel. 

Sue’s Brend Collection career started over 3 decades ago at The Royal Hotel as a Housekeeper. From there she found her feet and soon after transferred to The Park Hotel to take on a similar role. In the early 2000’s, Sue transferred again, this time for the last time, to The Royal & Fortescue as Head Housekeeper. 

“I love the job and meeting new people every day. The Brend Family has been very good to me and has always supported me. I always feel like I can talk to my Directors which is rare to find.” - Sue, Head Housekeeper. 

Sue & Nicola

Working for the Brend Collection has been a great opportunity and has helped me grow as a person and in confidence over the years. I have built lasting friendships with colleagues along the way, and with familiar faces returning to the hotel makes it feel like we truly make a difference to the people's experiences.” Nicola, Deputy Head Housekeeper 

Nicola started at The Park Hotel in 1999 as a part-time Housekeeper. From there she moved to The Royal & Fortescue Hotel to work in the Coffee Shop (Now the RF Lounge & Bar). An opportunity arose in the Housekeeping department and seemed only fitting to unite mother and daughter in the Housekeeping department.
