In the new role, Katie will lead the resort through the next phase of its £80m expansion project.
Katie has a background in hospitality spanning over three decades as well as 10 years of experience as sales director at The Belfry. She will unite the sales, revenue, resort desk and marketing teams under one strategy.
Commenting on the promotion, Katie said: “It’s such an exciting time for The Belfry, so becoming commercial director is an incredible opportunity. I have a fantastic team around me and, together, I know there will be no limit to what we can achieve.”
An advocate for female equality and the hotel industry, Katie was awarded a place on the Boutique Hotelier Power List in 2022. She is a member of multiple associations, including mia and beam, and frequently speaks on panels at events.
Chris Eigelaar, resort director at The Belfry, said: “Katie has been an incredible asset to our team, and fundamental to The Belfry’s success. Under her leadership, our commercial team will be more dynamic than ever before.”
Opening in September 2025, The Belfry’s biggest events space yet, The Masters Suite, is currently under construction.
