Your new Health Club & Spa Manager

'Having started my career in hospitality 20 years ago I have worked in every possible department in a hotel before starting to work with the fantastic team here at the Hotel. There is nothing better than having this inside knowledge about each department to ensure you understand the limitations of your team and product.  Along this enriching journey I have met some passionate people and I am delighted to see Jen heading the Health Club and Spa team going forward. After learning each role over the past seven years, I truly believe there is no one better suited to understand where and how to lead The Health Club in the right direction'.
Saskia Droz, General Manager at The Goodwood Hotel

A little more about Jen...

How long have you been at Goodwood?

I have worked at Goodwood for just over seven years and throughout my time here have worked in every position throughout the Club. Having worked my way from the bottom to the top I fully understand every cog that makes the Health Club run as smoothly as it does and the challenges that every Member of the team faces on a day to day basis.

Where did you work previously?

Before joining Goodwood I was a professional dancer and toured the UK and Europe and danced for a number of shows in the West End. During my touring I also taught university dance classes and whilst on my gap year I went into the townships and explored cultural dance with locals. 

Throughout my dancing career I worked in a number of four star hotels in the food and beverage field. This allowed me to grow my love for hospitality and being here and working for The Health Club has allowed me to share my two passions - hospitality and wellbeing.

What do you love most about The Health Club?

Unquestionably it is the Members community. To be part of a Club like ours, where like minded people enjoy wellbeing and having fun in life" We are so very fortunate to have brilliant Members and a caring team who help make the Club what is is today. Sometimes, it doesn't feel like work but more a big family who all share one vision and one goal.

What are you most excited about going forward as Manager?

Making our community even stronger than it already is and delivering a club we are all proud to represent. We have some great improvement projects currently going on and 2016 is the start of a new chapter and we hope to deliver special moments where people feel the are not only part of The Health Club but also of the wider Goodwood Estate.
