Jon Brown, Managing Director of Virgin Limited Edition commented: “We are extremely happy to welcome back Vincent and this time into the role of General Manager. Kathryn has been with us for some time and did a fantastic job at The Lodge and so we’re thrilled she’s accepted the role of Assistant General Manager at Kasbah Tamadot.
“We are confident that both Vincent and Kathryn will fit in very well with the rest of the team; they both have the passion, enthusiasm and understanding of the Virgin Limited Edition philosophy to ensure Kasbah Tamadot continues the tradition of warm Berber hospitality in the High Atlas Mountains.”
