Pride of Britain Hotels, the 50-strong collection of Britain’s finest, independently owned hotels, is delighted to announce the addition of four new members to its non-executive board. With over 25 years’ experience in the British luxury hospitality industry, Jason Adams, Managing Director of Rockliffe Hall joins alongside Jill Chalmers, Managing Director, Glenapp Castle; Ross Grieve, Managing Director, Seaham Hall; and Andrew McPherson, General Manager, Grantley Hall.

I am delighted to join the Pride of Britain non-executive board at such an exciting time for the hospitality industry as we reopen our doors. The past year has been tough, but I’m feeling positive about the next few months and what we can bring to guests who are longing for those missed hotel experiences. I look forward to working alongside my fellow non-executive board members and the wider Pride of Britain leadership team.” commented Jason Adams.
