Northumberland’s Langley Castle hotel has welcomed Mohamed Serag as its new general manager.
Mohamed arrives at the castle, which is located close to Hexham, with a wealth of experience in roles at four- and five-star hotels around the world. His CV includes a White House certificate of appreciation for his support of a US presidential visit to Sharm El-Sheikh in 2003, and he has planned and managed the hospitality elements of the International Solidarity Conference – staged in the palace of King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia in Makkah involving 35 kings and presidents and 3,000 delegates.
He has also spent 11 years with the Four Seasons group, managing hotels across the Middle East and Europe, as well as holding roles with the Fairmont and InterContinental Hotel groups, and at the Low Wood Bay hotel in the Lake District.
“I am delighted to manage a hotel in the stunning county of Northumberland for the first time and shall work with the team to create memorable stays, weddings and events for guests from locations UK-wide as well as global,” said Mohamed. “We shall strive to underpin all with remarkable little service touches that differentiate us from other venues, and which are tailored to the expectations of guests, from whichever country they visit. We shall also evolve our Langley Castle offering to provide experiences that cannot be found elsewhere.”
Dr Stuart Madnick, owner of Langley Castle, added: “My wife, Mariann, and I are delighted to welcome Mohamed to Langley Castle and have him on board to lead the team to further success. We are sure his experience will help enrich the careers of other members of our hotel team and that his international outlook will prove invaluable as Langley Castle writes its next chapter.”
