So who's who?
Jen Meads set the business almost eight years ago. Before that, she worked as a training consultant in London. Jen's background was in catering and hospitality and she's always had a passion for food and the Lakes. The Knoll was the perfect combination! Jen is also the Chef in between all the other spinning plates!
Denise Hyde manages front of House with Jen and housekeeping with Karen. Denise's background has also been in the hosptiality industry before coming to the Knoll to work with big sister Jen. Denise's after dinner chat and humour here is legendry.
Karen Robb is our part time housekeeper and manages to keep us all in order. Her dry wit and local knowledge are a fearsome combination. She does a mean hospital corner.
Alison Luke in between studying at Cumbria University also works with us here supporting us in both housekeeping and Front of House.
Helen Snowball in between doing holistic therapies (she can be booked for these treatments here at the Knoll so ask us!), supply teaching, exam marking, she also assists Jen front of house and in Housekeeping covering other team member's days off.
In addition to our main team, we have a number of wonderful people who are often in and around the Knoll helping and supporting our efforts.
