The owners and team at Valley Lodge & Spa in the Magaliesberg have welcomed back Laurence McGrath back as general manager.
After two years as GM at the country hotel, Laurence set off to consult for a Dubai-based hotel company who required his skills to assist them in completing a hotel in South Sudan, managing the layout, design and procurement. However, once this project was completed, he was happy to return to Valley Lodge & Spa to once again take up his former position.
Laurence is Southern Sun trained and has travelled and worked internationally, including managing four and five star hotels in the United Kingdom, Namibia, South Africa and Mozambique.
Laurence decided to return to his roots, which are in Gauteng as he enjoys the energy and drive of the region, while savouring the tranquil surroundings of Valley Lodge & Spa in the historical Magaliesberg.
