Erika Steward has been appointed as Director of Hospitality Sales at Wilderness Reserve
Wilderness Reserve, the extraordinary 6,000-acre private estate in Suffolk's Yox Valley, announces the appointment of Erika Steward as Director of Hospitality Sales, as it enters its next chapter of growth under the leadership of Chief Operating Officer Francisco Macedo.
Erika Steward joins as Director of Hospitality Sales, bringing a distinguished career across some of the UK's most celebrated luxury properties. Most recently Group Head of Sales at Andrew Brownsword Hotels — a portfolio of thirteen properties including Gidleigh Park and The Bath Priory — Erika has also held senior leadership roles as Head of Sales at Iconic Luxury Hotels, inclusive of Chewton Glen and The Lygon Arms. With deep-rooted relationships across the luxury leisure market and extensive experience with networks including Virtuoso, Traveller Made, and Relais & Châteaux, she will lead leisure sales strategy and drive group bookings for the estate.
Set within 6,000 acres of rolling parkland, woodland and lakes in Suffolk's Yox Valley, Wilderness Reserve spans three adjoining estates — Sibton Park, Chapel Barn, and the latest addition of Blyth Barn — with 27 houses across the estates. With each estate offering an exceptional collection of homes and cottages, homes range from one-bedroom 'lost' cottages with their own lakes and rowing boats, to Spa Houses designed with larger groups in mind, complete with hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms.
