HOTEL INDIGO STRATFORD
HOTEL WINNER Carl Davies-Phillips, general manager of Hotel Indigo Stratford upon Avon, has been named as one of Hotel Designs top 25 hoteliers of the year 2020.
The Brit List 2020 is Hotel Designs’ annual publication which profiles the top 25 designers, top 25 architects and top 25 hoteliers who are operating in Britain.
The judges felt Carl has been a great asset to Hotel Indigo Stratford upon Avon and has worked extremely hard through the first year of trading since opening in April 2019 – especially with all the struggles the hospitality industry has faced since last year. They also said he has been very caring of the team and ensures that staff morale is high.
Carl said: “I would like to thank my team and colleagues at IHG and Castlebridge Hospitality as this would not have been possible without their dedication, professionalism and support”.
BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM 106
TAKES POLE POSITION The British Motor Museum has won a prestigious Royal Automobile Club Historic Award in the Collection category. The annual Awards were announced on 28 January and recognise outstanding achievements within the British historic motoring and motorsport world.
The Museum beat strong competition to win the award for a number of reasons, namely hosting three exhibitions during 2020 and through two lockdowns. These included a major exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Range Rover and ‘Metro at 40’ which celebrated one of Britain’s best-selling small cars. In October 2020 the Museum opened an exhibition from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, ‘When Jaguar Bought Daimler’, telling the story of when Jaguar bought the Daimler Company from BSA in 1960. The Museum also remained very active online
throughout the unprecedented year with its #historybeginsathome social posts and a lively blog. In October it held its first ‘Gaydon Gathering’, an informal socially-distanced evening for enthusiasts and their classics, with the opportunity to see the museum's collection in action.
Jeff Coope, Managing Director at the British Motor Museum, said: “We are delighted to have won the Collection category award. I would like to thank the team at the British Motor Museum, not only for their hard work and enthusiasm throughout this exceptional period but also for thinking laterally - for never being satisfied with just closing the museum when we had to…. “If people can’t come to the museum then the museum can go to the people” was the thinking.”
