The Big Venue Interview – Brocket Hall

This September it is all about our Venue of the Month, Brocket Hall Estate. This week we interviewed the well-travelled Sales & Marketing Director, Paul Liczbinski.

What motivated you to get into the hotel industry and how did your career journey start?

I started out as a Hilton graduate. Worked in Hilton Hotels across Australia, Hong Kong, New York and the UK. Moving away from hotels I began working for British Airways as a Special Services Manager. I then returned to the Hotel industry and opened the Regent Plaza Hotel and Suites as a DOS,

I have held positions at Talking Point (a travel and events company), The Cavendish Hotel in St James, and the Westbury Hotel. After this, I acted as Regional Sales & Marketing Director at Corinthia Hotels; then moved on to open the St James Hotel and Club St James, The Gulf Hotel and Congress Centre in Bahrain, Blenheim Palace and then worked for a company called My Amazing Events.

Finally landing in my current position here at Brocket Hall Estate.
