A new manager has been appointed to take over the health club and spa of a luxury Lake District Hotel.
Gary Tennant will take the reins of Low Wood Bay’s spa in Windermere from Annabel Berry, who has taken up a new role with the hotel’s owner – English Lakes Hotels Resorts & Venues – as product development and training manager.
It is a return to the group for Gary, who spent two years elsewhere.
Having served as food and beverage manager at Lancaster House Hotel during an 18-year stint there, Gary longed for a return to the group and as luck would have it, a managerial post opened in the resort’s health club and spa.
That position allowed him to undertake NVQ courses including Level 2 in gym instruction and Level 3 in personal training, the perfect springboard for his latest promotion to run the health club and spa at Low Wood Bay.
Gary said: “The chance to return to Lancaster House turned out to be a great career move.
“I was seeking to get a better work life balance for myself and the family and the switch to health and leisure gave me a new lease of life.”
