A team from The Rutland Hotel on Glossop Road in Sheffield are celebrating after all completing the Sheffield Bupa 10k run last Sunday.

The team of 11 were running and raising money for the South Yorkshire Heart Appeal which is the hotels chosen charity for 2011/2012.

Katey Dent Hotel Sales Manager said “The SYHA is close to the hearts of the staff at the hotel as we have many families staying at the hotel whose relatives are having some form of surgery at the Sheffield Hospitals. We wanted to stand out from the crowd at the run so all donned branded T shirts and had heart shaped balloons and heart boppers on our heads, as well as carrying a hospital stretcher from start to finish with one of the team dressed as a heart surgeon!!”

Katey added “The day was amazing, two of the team has injuries on the day and one of us had to limp all the way to the finish – but we all did it and have raised well over £2000 for the appeal”.

Staff at the Rutland Hotel have taken on the challenge of running the10k Bupa Great Yorkshire Run on Sunday 9 October, to help raise funds for the South Yorkshire Heart Appeal.

The Appeal supports specialist cardiac services, and world class research at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. These services help save lives in the region, by reducing the odds of death from coronary heart disease which remains one of theUK’s biggest killers.

‘Team Rutland’ have been training for the last three months to get themselves fit for the big event. Most of the team of nine have not even run before and have had to work hard to ensure they can cover the miles on the day. Some have suffered minor injuries, such as pulled hamstrings, but are still determined to complete the race.




Katey Dent, Sales Manager at the Rutland Hotel said:” When I first started training, I couldn’t even run to the end of my street, so this is a real challenge for me, but I was determined to be part of the team. Relatives of patients often use the hotel so we see first hand how important access to quality health care is and this is our way of helping to support this.”

The Rutland Hotel has a long standing relationship with Sheffield Hospitals Charity and has previously raised funds for their Sheffield Cystic Fibrosis Appeal. This year the hotel has chosen to support the Heart Appeal and the 10k run is to launch the start of their ongoing support. The team will be clearly visible on the day as they will be running with heart shaped items to help raise awareness of the appeal.

Carol Denton, Fundraiser for the Appeal welcomed the support and commented: “Heart disease is higher than average in South Yorkshire so it is even more vital that we can help contribute to ensuring that the Cardiothoracic Centre remains one of the leading facilities for providing cutting edge treatment and undertaking world class research.”

Anyone wishing to sponsor Team Rutland can do so at www.justgiving.com/Team-Rutland-Hotel.

Thanks You Rutland Hotel Sheffield

The people who have contacted me, through you, have all spoken very highly of the help you have given them all and the manner in which it was delivered - for which I thank you all.

You have certainly helped me to make my prolonged stay bearable, and I do wish you all the best in the future.

To: All the staff at the Rutland

We just wanted to write to express our sincere thanks and gratitude for the way our wedding at the Rutland on Friday 9 September was managed.

From the moment we booked the hotel 18 months in advance right through to the day itself the service we received was highly professional and without fault. All the way through we felt very confident that we had selected the right venue.

Many of our guests have commented on how much they enjoyed both the day and the venue.

The food at both the Wedding Breakfast and in the evening was excellent and the evening disco was fantastic and enjoyed by everyone.

In particular we would like to thank all the staff in the Events Team and everybody who was working on the day especially Kerry who managed the event.

If you require any testimonials or such like for promotional purposes please don't hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to assist.

Once again many thanks and best wishes for the future.

Sheffield Review - The Leeds Guide

I think I’m in love. His dark, pool-deep eyes look into mine as I stroke my hand through his wiry hair. Meerkats are probably not the best of pets, though and this one looks pretty happy to continue being shown round the visitors at Sheffield’s Butterfly House. My partner and I have come to see the new prarie dog residents – similar to meerkats but, as they bask in the sun in their expansive enclosure, seemingly a bit more chilled out – along with other residents including pigs, goats, rabbits, skunks, birds of prey and of course, butterflies.

It’s a really sweet place with obvious emphasis on caring for the animals and educating youngsters. As you’d expect, the meerkats keep small crowds amused for hours but we’re most enamoured by the tiny goat kids in the Small Animal House, who trot over to lick our hands and generally turn us to mush. The butterfly house is very impressive, larger than our beloved Tropical World in Roundhay, it houses snakes and spiders (thankfully housed in tanks) as well as myriad types of butterly, terrapins, fish and a huge lizard (unhoused, as we found to our surprise when we came face to face).

We’ve become quite obsessed with the staycation, my partner and me. The equivalent of putting a pin in a map, only with slightly more background information, we’ll search www.yorkshire.com and pick a destination, generally based on how many cute animal opportunities it boasts. Sheffield won out this time, and before our visit to the Butterfly House, booked in at The Rutland Hotel, about a ten minute walk from the city centre.



The hotel’s entrance at the back does little to give away the beautiful garden with water feature and boutique bedrooms, so we are suitably impressed when we arrive in the Dainton Suite. Exposed brick, wood panelling and rich-hued furnishings prevail and there’s a hamper full of local delights, including the ubiquitous Henderson’s Relish. There are also two wet rooms, which even I don’t manage to fully take over with cosmetics and candles.

We enjoy the last rays of afternoon sun – is it just me or is South Yorkshire just a teeny bit more clement? – with drinks in the pretty garden. The restaurant boasts a conservatory and tasteful furnishings which remind me of a health spa; only with more Yorkshire puddings, naturally. We’d vowed to spend more time after tea exploring the greenest city in Europe (Sheffield has a record-breaking 2 million trees and 5,500 plant species, apparently) but a big meal and inviting bed put paid to this. We’ll return soon anyway… we hear there’s another wildlife park just around the corner.

Who's got the Sheffield Smile??

SMILE and the world of hospitality smiles with you - as these eight beaming finalists will tell you.


They’ve been shortlisted to win the Sheffield Smile Award, sponsored by The Star.

It honours the hospitality worker who brightens everyone’s day with their warm, friendly personality, as they help to make Sheffield a destination of choice.

The category is part of the Hospitality Sheffield Awards, this year at the Holiday Inn Royal Victoria, on Thursday, September 29.

Hosted by the BBC’s Tom Ingall, the awards reward the best in the city’s vibrant hospitality industry, which includes hotels, events and conference venues.

They focus on the hard work and talent of people working in the industry.

Expert judges have already been busy picking this year’s winners. All that is except the person who will walk off with The Star’s Sheffield Smile Award – because we want YOU to decide.

Today we are calling on our readers and web users to put a smile on the face of the eight finalists. The one with the most votes win.

All eight have been nominated by their managers, who have explained why in a bid to help you cast your votes. Read them all in full on line.

Then vote by email. Only one vote per person and email account allowed.

E-mail us, at promotions@sheffieldnewspapers.co.uk with SMILE in the subject box – followed by the full name of the person you want to vote for.

In your email include your full name, address, phone and any other contact details. But hurry. The deadline for all your votes is Tuesday, September 20, 10am.

For data protection details about how we may use your information for marketing, or how you can opt-out, see bottom of the page.

So who gets your vote for The Star’s Sheffield Smile Award?

Here are the finalists. You may know them and want to thank them with your vote - or judge them all after reading comments from their bosses below:


* KATIE BRICKELL, 25, Food and beverage supervisor, Hilton Sheffield.

“Katie went to university to take a degree in Psychology; she started part-time work at the Hilton Sheffield to help herself financially through university. It quickly became apparent Katie excelled in the hospitality industry and, quickly changed her career goals. In 2009 Katie moved into the restaurant and this is where she shone. Her bubbly personality and very infectious smile helps win over the grumpiest customer, team member and even the management team. When it comes to sport Katie says she likes to watch rugby men run around the field.”


* KELLY BROWN, 31, Room attendant, Park Inn Sheffield. “Kelly has a natural, infectious smile and a great enthusiasm for her job. Kelly has been the recipient of the housekeeping employee of the month recognising her willingness to help guests and staff alike, again this is born out of her genuine passion and enjoyment for doing her job well.

It is this “is there anything else I can do” approach which makes her so well liked by guests and staff and makes Kelly an ideal candidate for the Sheffield Smile.


* ELIZABETH CASS, 32, Bar and lounge waitress, Doubletree by Hilton (formerly Sheffield Park Hotel). “If the hotel had a landlady, then Liz would be the one! She is cheerful, chatty, compassionate, a confidante and likes a bit of gossip! She has only to meet someone once and can immediately remember their preferred beverage and where they like to sit. Liz also has a sensitive and caring side to her personality and studied for a qualification in British sign language to assist guests with hearing difficulties at work. Recently Liz achieved a lifetime ambition of performing a parachute jump to celebrate her 30th birthday.


* SCOTT KRISTEN, 37, Receptionist, Kenwood Hall. “Every day, morning, evening or night Scott has a fantastic smile on his face. Scott won Kenwood’s Quality Winner Award in May for providing excellent service and assisting in getting a guest medicine when she was unwell. Scott’s positive attitude is recognised throughout the building by guests and colleagues receiving positive feedback on a monthly basis. Colleagues notice his friendly personality as he is always open to offer a helping hand if others need it. One guest said, ‘Nothing was too much for Scott, very helpful - thanks’.”


* SAM LEWIS, 19, Food and beverage assistant, Tankersley Manor Hotel:

“Sam is a keen amateur dramatics star and has recently given three show stopping performances this year with Take 2 Academy Theatre. Despite his young age, Sam has a high level of maturity and takes his job very seriously - no task is ever too large and shift is ever too long. A locally grown gem, Sam works here with other members of his close family. He is very friendly and goes out of his way to be hospitable to everyone. Sam has a warm bubbly character that puts all guests at ease.


* VERITY MARRIOTT, 28, Events coordinator/receptionist, Rutland Hotel:

“Verity always has a smile on her face, she is constantly happy and nothing is too much trouble for her!

Verity works with weddings and deals with many wedding couples - she is not only professional throughout every meeting, but she is always so happy they are getting married and is always delighted to hear many stories of engagements and plans. Verity has a positive outlook on life all the time - she is never any different and her happiness motivates team members around her - which is great for the business.”


* CLAIRE MURPHY, 36, Food and beverage supervisor, Best Western Plus Mosborough Hall Hotel. “Each day Claire fulfils her job with a fantastic smile and great nature. Claire spends a lot of her free time with family and looking after her nephew Ethan for her sister while she is at work.

Claire loves daytrips and shopping in her spare time. One of Claire’s many customer comments reads - “A stunning smile and great attribute to the hotel and Darcy’s restaurant.”


* PAIGE RUSSELL, 18, Food and beverage trainee, Holiday Inn Royal Victoria Sheffield. “Paige is a true inspiration for all young starters in the hospitality industry. With her overwhelming friendliness she wows guests every time and regular guests love to be greeted by her.

“Reflecting her kind and understanding personality, she deals with guests complaints efficiently and promptly, with the most amazing outcomes of complete customer happiness. Paige is extremely hard working. She is coming in early and finishing late, but she really makes hard work look effortless through her positive approach to her job. Paige is extremely well liked amongst colleagues and customers.”

Couple tie the knot for second time @ Rutland Hotel Sheffield!

A COUPLE who were reunited by a picture from their original wedding - after not seeing each other for 26 years - have tied the knot a second time.


Ann and Chris Jackson divorced over a quarter of a century ago but were brought back together when a picture of the happy couple at their first wedding was featured in a book.

Now the lovebirds have enjoyed their second wedding together, attended by family and friends, to make the fairytale reunion complete.

The rekindled romantics were joined by 140 guests for a service at The Rutland Hotel in Broomhill, Sheffield, and they are now looking forward to a short honeymoon break in Whitby, North Yorkshire.

A delighted Ann said: “It was lovely. Everybody had got a bit older but it was fantastic to see them all there! There were more people at our second wedding than we had at our original service. They were all excited for us and crying, it was wonderful.”

Ann, who remarried in 1990 to become Ann McCreesh, said: “I was really happy when the vicar said I was called Mrs Jackson again. It just felt right.”

The couple who had submitted the picture which got them back together - Jacqueline and Orrett Hanson - attended the service too and Ann’s nephew Gary, who was just three years old at the first wedding, was Chris’ best man. Ann’s son Josh, 21, gave her away.

Ann, now 54, originally met Chris, 60, at her brother’s wedding in 1973, when she was just 17. They quickly began dating and married in 1977 before moving closer to Chris’ family in Wrexham, North Wales - a move which was to put a strain on the relationship.

Ann felt isolated because Chris was working long hours as a trucker for his family’s haulage business, meaning the couple slowly drifted apart and eventually divorced in 1985.

After returning to Sheffield where she became landlady of The South Sea pub in Broomhill, Ann met Shaun McCreesh. The couple married and had two children - Josh, and Ellie, now 14 - before divorcing in 2009.

Ann swore off men forever... until, a year later, she was told about a book in which her first wedding photograph was featured - The Dirty Stop Out’s Guide to 1970s Sheffield.

Inside the book was a snap of newlywed Chris and Ann sitting on the stage at their reception venue, the Hofbrauhaus, in an image which tugged at Ann’s heartstrings.

She phoned Chris to invite him to the book’s reunion launch night and, four days later, the former lovers met up.

Chris popped the question for the second time just three weeks later.

Ann, from Wadsley, said: “I was a nervous wreck before I rang Chris for the first time after all those years. It was amazing when we spoke though, it felt right again.

“He told me he’d only ever had one love and had sworn never to marry again. He kept that promise until he asked me to marry him – again.

“I can’t believe I am so lucky as to have another shot at happiness, and with a man I was already married to.”

Chris, who has sold the family business in Wales and moved to Sheffield to be with Ann, said: “I never stopped loving her, and I never remarried.

“You only get one love in your life, and she was mine.”

Joe Elliotts and crew check into Rutland Hotel Sheffield


Picture: Joe Elliott with Rutland Hotel Sales Manager Katey Dent

Rockers Joe Elliott and his band the Down ‘n’ Outz checked back into the Rutland Hotel on Glossop road for a second time in 12 months over the weekend.

Joe and the guys, backed by The Quireboys made a special appearance at The Sheffield City Hall with grammy nominated Paul Rodgers – which was a sell out gig.

Katey Dent commented “Joe and the guys just love the Rutland. They enjoyed their stay so much last time that re-booked in for the weekend while back in the city. They like the independent nature of the hotel, and that we have a relaxed and friendly environment for them to be based – just out of the City yet close enough to get to the centre”.

Katey added “On their last stay the group even took promotional photographs at the hotel which looked great. We look forward to welcoming them back again soon as they are all really nice guys. They even visited family and friends while back in the city”.

SHEFFIELD’S NEWEST FOUR STAR HOTEL IS SHINING!


The New Year has really started on a celestial high for one Sheffield Hotel which has been awarded four star accreditation by ‘Quality in Tourism’ and ‘Visit Britain’.
The Rutland Hotel, located on Glossop Road on the outskirts of the city, has been under its current ownership for just over eight years and has undergone a radical transformation during that time. The result is a contemporary and stylish hotel, perfect for the twenty first century, whilst still embracing its Victorian heritage returning a Sheffield landmark to its rightful position as a leading hotel.
“We were absolutely thrilled to be awarded four stars and feel proud that all our hard work and determination to make The Rutland a superb and stylish hotel once again has been recognised,” commented Katey Dent sales manager The Rutland Hotel. “The feedback that we received was extremely pleasing and the whole team are praised for playing their part in this fantastic achievement. The hotel has been completely re-modeled since current owners - director Craig Dowie and his business partners The Ludlam family trading as Claypenny Hotels - bought the ungraded hotel in 2002 and it has been transformed from a dilapidated and run down business to a stunning and successful one with four stars shining brightly above the door!”
The hotel, which is located in the leafy district of Broomhill - just one mile from the vibrant and cosmopolitan centre of Sheffield – provides the perfect forum for business or social visitors to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Business users particularly enjoy its peaceful location and its proximity to the city Universities and teaching hospitals which has resulted in excellent partnerships with both and with other city initiatives such as Sheffield International Venues (SIV).
“A clear strategy of steady and sensible investment was agreed by Craig and his business partners when the hotel was purchased to make our customer experience a different and enjoyable one,” commented Katey. “The entire management team has been together since 2002, quite unusual in our industry, and it is this clear and common vision that has ensured our goals and dreams have been systematically achieved with such success. The Rutland is popular and well loved again, and we are very proud of our stylish hotel, exemplary service and good old fashioned Yorkshire hospitality.”
Already, all of the 63 bedrooms have been completely refurbished in the hotel’s signature style. A former car park is now an oasis in the heart of the city offering guests the opportunity to relax in beautifully landscaped surroundings. Three conference and banqueting rooms have been created, along with a remodeled bar and restaurant, to allow groups of any size to enjoy the hotel and the reception is, quite simply, unrecognisable. Further investment is planned during 2011, ensuring the hotel stays at the very pinnacle of hospitality in the region.
The hotel team celebrated receiving four stars with a staff party and Oscar style awards ceremony awarding the star team members who were highlighted by the inspector with Oscars! Craig Dowie was proud to present the awards to Adam Knowles (restaurant and bar) Kara McLean (restaurant), Marie Panks (restaurant) and Joelle Sellars (reception), and commented “These team members showed to the inspector not only excellent customer service but a smiling friendly face which we are proud to associated with at the hotel”.
