The Champagne was flowing on 22nd February as Sheffield’s largest Independent hotel celebrated 10 years under its current owners.

Craig Dowie, the Rutland Hotels Director joined staff for a celebration lunch, which included long serving staff including breakfast waitresses Marie Panks (32 years service) and Mercedes Martinez (43 years service) to staff who have been at the hotel for the full 10 years including Financial controller Anne Roper, receptionist Denise Mottram and Sales Manager Katey Dent.

Craig commented “We have seen many changes at the Rutland over the past 10 years! When we first took over it was very run down, and after continued investment over the years we managed to achieve our 4 stars just over a year ago”.

Katey Dent, Sales Manager added “We all had a lovely lunch, lots of fizz and lots of laughs! We have a great consistent team at the hotel and our staff turnover is very low. We work hard to ensure our customers have a great time when visiting the hotel, and I believe this is down to the hard work and commitment of our fantastic staff. Bring on the next 10 years!”

ENDS.

8 year old Niamh Power has just undergone her third operation in twelve months to remove a reoccurring brain tumour. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are no longer effective and the surgeon has now said that further surgery is no longer an option.

Craig Power, Niamh’s uncle, has been a Senior Sous Chef at The Milestone for the last year.

We need to raise funds for any treatment that may be possible and to help make Niamh and her family's life that little bit easier at this very traumatic time.
