Andy Clark

Course Manager & Energy and Sustainability Leader, Crane Valley Golf Club

I joined Crane Valley as a Course Manager back in 2017. We have a great team and take pride improving the golf facilities year-on-year. In my time at Hoburne, I have always been supported to learn and develop within my role and now help another club within Hoburne; Bulbury Woods. I have also been encouraged to pursue goals in other areas and in 2022 began work to coordinate Hoburne's push to become more sustainable. I love the variety in my role and the family feeling working for Hoburne.

John Searing

Catering Manager , Crane Valley Golf Club

Back in 2016, I was given the opportunity to work as a chef for Hoburne. It didn’t take long to realise that Hoburne is a friendly family run company that welcomes everyone with open arms. The support I have received over the years, from the management team, has been encouraging and inspiring. In 2019, I was promoted to Catering Manager, allowing me to develop my career. Dealing with customers directly on a daily basis brings me great satisfaction. I’m now thankful to also be in a position with the ability to help others develop their careers.

Hannah Webber

I started working for Hoburne Blue Anchor in 2016 as a part time receptionist, which quickly progressed into a full time position. Within a year, I was promoted to a Management position. I had lots of training and guidance from my Manager and from the team at head office. Over the last few years, I have had children and during this time, my Manager was very supportive, allowing me to be flexible. Working for Hoburne, you feel like you're part of a big family, feeling supported, wanted and appreciated.
