People

It’s the people who really make a difference to the experience a guest receives. At Cliveden we understand this and our staff, who at more than four per bedroom provide the most important ingredient – flawless service offered with care, courtesy and enthusiasm.

Of equal importance is the continued enhancement of the standards of service throughout the House and the development of the people who work so hard to maintain this excellence.

Tim Pettifer – General Manager

Joined Cliveden in April 2003 after six years running the Bath Priory in Bath and Sydney House in Chelsea. A former regular guest at Cliveden, Tim believes that the heartbeat of the House is the staff, many of whom have served Cliveden since it opened as a Hotel in 1984.

“It is a huge privilege for all of us to be associated with the House, with its history and reputation for service. We are a closely knit team who are genuine in our pursuit of excellence.”

Michael Chaloner – House Manager

Michael has an amazing history on Cliveden and how the house is run, and can tell you many an interesting story. One of Michael’s many talents is overseeing all of Cliveden’s Exclusive Uses and Weddings.

Michael has been at Cliveden for many years and has been known on occasions to talk brides down the aisle, sew buttons onto garments, provide spare cufflinks and shoes and be a witness at weddings.

Michael really enjoys weddings, which is pivotal to ensuring that every wedding is unique and special. One thing you are guaranteed is a first class greeting and a friendly face.
