The Clumber Park Hotel and Spa based in Nottinghamshire, part of the Bespoke Hotel group, has just announced the appointment of a new General Manager.

Norbert Angerer, originally from Munich in Germany, brings to the hotel a wealth of international experience from previous employment at four and five star hotels based all around the world.

Now living in Syston, Leicestershire and having worked at prestigious venues such as the Birmingham Metropole, the Ramada Renaissance in Brighton and the Carlton in Johannesburg, he's keen to implement his abundance of experience at the Clumber Park Hotel and Spa.

With a strong background in the hospitality industry spanning twelve years in countries including Ghana and Mauritius, his excellent management skills have been honed  more recently at various hotels throughout the UK, and he hopes to consolidate the hotel's position as one of the best venues located right in the heart of the international tourist hotspot of Sherwood Forest.

"I'm absolutely delighted to be appointed as General Manager and am already very impressed with what I've seen of the hotel so far," says Norbert.

"It's situated in an absolutely stunning part of the UK in Robin Hood country with great facilities, the staff are very professional and the ethos is one of strong family values," he continues.

"My goal is to simply build upon all of these and strengthen them so that the operations of the hotel are not only the best that they can possibly be, but that they also create the most welcoming destination for corporate and leisure guests when staying in the area."

Previous employment in various different countries has resulted in Norbert becoming fluent in several different languages, German, English and French, enabling him to do something that he sees as crucial - engage with both guests and colleagues.

"Some hotel managers can often be very office based and not readily available to either guests or staff and it's not an approach I advocate at all. I want my guests to know who I am and feel able to approach me any time, for anything - likewise my work colleagues," explains Norbert.

"A hotel is essentially a home away from home and so it's paramount that when people set foot in The Clumber Park Hotel and Spa they feel welcomed."
