Three senior management appointments have been made at the UK-based private hotel group von Essen as it prepares for further expansion.

Mike Eldridge has become property director in a newly-created role that will involve the assessment of additions to the von Essen portfolio – which includes spa facilities at the Bath House Spa at New Park Manor, the Pavilion Spa at Cliveden in Berkshire and the Aqueous Spa at Dalhousie Castle in Edinburgh.

Martin Rogers is now the estates and acquisitions director and Jayne Davis has been appointed purchasing director.
