A PASSIONATE FAMILY FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY… In 1969, Mr and Mrs Seddon acquired our sister hotel, The Elgin Hotel, moving from Manchester with their two children Nigel and Elizabeth. The hotel had 55 bedrooms with just eight toilets and two bathrooms. Nigel Seddon headed back to the hotel after university stepping into the role of Managing Director. 2001 was a milestone for the Elgin, as they doubled their capacity by purchasing neighbouring property The Bolingbroke Hotel. The family then purchased the Hotel Sheraton in 2015, and since then both hotels have gone from strength to strength becoming your much-loved hotels they are now. You will still find Nigel and Liz at the heart of the action in both hotels, and now Liz’s son Ollie is Food & Beverage Manager. The Seddon family are not the only family in the hotel, with a lot of the team being families themselves. We have numerous families working at both hotels, who collectively are some of our longest standing members of the team. Their values blend with the Seddon’s to help create our home from home experience which you all know and love. Liz and Nigel Seddon in the 70s 12 13 Investors in People Gold Status We are proud to say that we were awarded a Gold IIP status.
