LEADERS at two south Warwickshire hotels have been included in a hospitality ‘power list’ for their contributions to their workplace.
Mark Chambers, managing director of the Eden Hotel Collection – which runs Mallory Court Hotel and Spa in Leamington, and The Arden Hotel in Stratford – has been recognised in The Boutique Hotelier Power List 2025 after making the same list back in 2016.
Mark was named in the ‘Business Leader’ category, while people director Lisa Redding has been recognised in the ‘Hidden Heroes’ category after the hospitality market was invited to nominate individuals.
Boutique Hotelier’s Power List is now in its ninth year, and recognises 50 of the most deserving individuals at owner and manager level who play a major part in shaping the character of their hotels, and how staff operate in their business.
Mark said: “This recognition is extra special as it has been made by industry peers, and further underlines our hotels’ standing not just with the public, but the wider hospitality sector too.
“There are many ongoing challenges facing hospitality – whether it is recruitment, cost pressures, or standing out in a saturated market – but we are continuing to grow, and that is testament to the hard work of the wider team.”
Lisa added: “I’m incredibly proud to be recognised in this way, because at Eden, our culture has always been about putting people first.
“We’ve worked hard to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, seen, and supported – and that means more than just policies or platforms. It’s about listening deeply, responding to what our teams need, and building a culture where people can thrive, grow, and genuinely enjoy coming to work.
“Recognition, wellbeing, and trust are at the core of everything we do – and it’s inspiring to see the positive impact that’s having across the business.”
