    Feeling super lucky to be based in the Channel Islands representing beautiful iconic hotels set in stunning locations.

    It's week 4 for me in my super exciting new role with Hand Picked Hotels, based in the stunning Channel Islands. Then this happened! As someone who grew up watching the original series of Bergerac back in the 1980's, it really was an honour to have been invited to attend the premiere of the new Bergerac. It really will be a special TV series with a superb cast, a great script and filmed in simply stunning scenery. In my short time living here in Jersey, what has stood out to me is just how breath-taking the scenery is and how welcoming everyone has been. I've also met so many great new colleagues at the Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa who did a fantastic job of hosting the cast & crew of Bergerac. Many thanks to Susie campanella and her team for making this happen, we really can say that Bergerac himself has stayed with us! Also thanks to my awesome colleagues Kat Freeman and Susie campanella for adding the glamour to my pic! Come and visit us very soon...
