The Belfry Hotel & Resort near Sutton Coldfield has promoted Chris Eigelaar to the role of resort general manager.
Chris (pictured), who joined The Belfry in 2018 as general manager, has more than 20 years’ experience in the hospitality sector having worked in hotels and resorts across the UK.
He grew up in the hospitality industry in South Africa, before going on to work at UK hotels and resorts including DoubleTree by Hilton, Locke Hotels, Sofitel, The Midland Hotel and QHotels.
Chris said: “It is an honour to take on the role of Resort General Manager and continue to deliver and build on what we’ve created at the Belfry and ensure we retain our position as a major player in the hospitality industry, while still offering our guests the same warm and welcoming award-winning Belfry experience that we are renowned for.
“I am looking forward to exploring new opportunities with the Belfry team.
“It has been a difficult time for the hospitality industry and there’s still a long road ahead of us given hotels and venues aren’t yet permitted to operate at full capacity however, now that vaccinations have begun does mean there’s light at the end of the tunnel.”
