Marina Radojevic Service Delivery Manager
Working at Friends House has been a beautiful journey for me, where I have met and continue to meet lovely people. The team supports each other and possesses the level of inclusion that you can only find in a few places. Their values and commitments are something we should all be striving for and having the opportunity to be a part of it all and feel like a member of one big family is just amazing. I have been working in the hospitality industry for quite some time now and the biggest thing I’m passionate about, and the reason why I am in this business, is exceeding customers’ expectations, going that extra mile, and building and developing staff bringing a feeling of pride in what they do.
Katie Stroud Business Development & Revenue Manager
Working for Friends House is such a privilege and I am delighted to work for an organisation that puts their core values first, especially their sustainability commitments, ahead of profit. I bring 12 years of experience in the hospitality industry to the role, having worked in venues such as the Museum of London, Tower Bridge and Prince Philip House. I love food and wine and if I’m not trying a new restaurant then you can find me cooking or devouring a new recipe book.
