Recently featuring in the Boutique Hotelier Power List 2022, Katie has a true passion to continually innovate and push the boundaries and understands the importance of curating an excellent Belfry experience for clients and guests alike.
Eamonn Crowe, Editor at Boutique Hotelier, commented: “It is fantastic to award Katie this accolade. Amid a challenging 12 months for the industry, Katie and her team have excelled at their jobs and highlighted the opportunities available to UK hotels amid this fast-changing landscape.”

It goes without saying that the support of the incredibly hardworking and passionate sales team is testament to my success. It’s exciting to be part of The Belfry’s future and continue to exceed clients’ expectations with our award-winning hospitality.”
Kirsten Price, Head of The Belfry’s People Team has spent the last 12 months innovating, modernising and leading the way in which The Belfry operates and engages with its 800 strong team. From creating The Belfry Campus, an online platform allowing employees to access online learning courses and resources, to introducing The Belfry Heroes’ a central recognition scheme, Kirsten and the team have managed to reduce job vacancies by 80% and reduce staff turnover by 34%. Testament to their success, The Belfry’s People team took home the Excellence in Employee Engagement award at the HR in Hospitality awards this month.
