The Team

Duncan Falconer
General Manager

Duncan likens life in the Hotel and restaurant industry to a life in the theatre.

The front of house team are the actors on stage and the chefs and back of house team are the 'back stage crew'.

 

Duncan's skills have been honed from a range of experiences in the industry that have seen him polishing the silver in the Grosvenor, Chester at fourteen to working at the Stafford Hotel in St James, London.

He was supported through his Hotel Catering Management training by the Grosvenor and completed his course with a spell at the Lodge and Spa Hotel in Breckenridge, Colorado. Duncan had joined the Grosvenor as a schoolboy and prior to leaving he had become the youngest member of its management team.

At 22 Duncan is a young manager and director of the holding company, however, his wealth of experience is evident in his knowledge of the industry and the management of his team.
