Stuart Procter has been appointed chief executive of The Beaumont hotel in London’s Mayfair. Procter stepped down from his role as chief operating officer of the Stafford Collection in March after nine years with the group.
In addition to ensuring the ongoing success of his teams and increased levels of customer satisfaction across the board, Procter is also involved in a variety of social responsibility and charity projects.
He works to encourage, motivate and mentor young people to succeed in a career within the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry, and works with Hospitality Action, the Hospitality Industry Benevolent Organization, which offers vital assistance to all who work or have worked within the hospitality sector in the U.K. and who find themselves in crisis. He is also vice president of Debra UK, a national charity that supports people living with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), their relatives, partners and carers, and has been instrumental in raising awareness and funds to support the EB community.
Procter joins at a time when The Beaumont has recently seen a significant multi-million pound investment, adding 29 new rooms and suites, and refurbishing the original 72 rooms and the ground floor, designed by the late French architect Thierry Despont.
Commenting on the appointment, Procter said, “As a young boy growing up in Blackburn, if you had a hotel in Mayfair on the Monopoly board, you won the game — and so it’s always been my dream to work in a hotel in this prestigious part of the capital. Now it’s time to put The Beaumont on the international map, putting service at the heart of everything we do, and creating some truly exciting food and beverage offerings in the process. I am delighted to be joining the team at The Beaumont and look forward to building our focus around creating those unique guest experiences, rooted in the very best of British hospitality.”
