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.
