FOUR DECADES AT BREND COLLECTION
This week, we celebrated our Area Director, Matthew Raistrick’s, 40-year service award for Brend Collection.
What started as a 6-month work experience from Blackpool College turned into a lifelong career. After experiencing a few other roles in Saunton Sands Hotel, Matthew returned to Sidmouth in 1987, where he has never looked back. Matthew climbed the ladder through various managerial roles, before he was promoted to Area Director in 2010.
Chairman of Brend Collection, John Brend, said, “Working with Matthew over the past 40 years has been one of the greatest experiences of my working life. From his early days as a young trainee gaining experience across the company to becoming a respected leader of two of our flagship hotels, Mathew’s work ethic is second to none and I’m grateful for all he’s done."
Matthew Raistrick summed up the last 40 years by saying, “It’s been a privilege to work for the Brend collection for 40 years. I’d like to thank all my colleagues, past and present, our team at Head Office, the Brend family in particular, Mr John Brend. Our loyal customers, and finally my wife and sons, for all their support.”
