Introducing our Patron - Business Lady and Animal Lover - Stephanie Booth
Stephanie Booth is
one of the most successful independent hotel operators in the UK, with
currently eight hotels in the Llangollen Hotels Group.
These have
been extensively covered in the highly successful BBC TV series ‘Hotel
Stephanie,’ of which filming for series 3 is currently underway.
Stephanie
has also embarked on the development of a chain of children’s
play-barns branded the Fantastic Fun House, with two currently
operational and a third, which will be one of the biggest of its kind,
due for opening in January 2011.
Linked to this is one of her
newest developments, Dee Valley Events. The company ‘saved’ the
Llangollen Balloon Festival in 2010 with its highly acclaimed ‘Great
Llangollen Show’ at the Llangollen Pavilion and has plans for further
major events throughout next year.
But this business drive is
also helping other businesses within Llangollen and Wrexham. Stephanie
‘Chairs’ both the Llangollen Chamber of Trade and Tourism as well as its
counterpart in Wrexham and by stimulating the tourism market to both
destinations she is responsible for seeing an increase in the local
economy of both towns.
Stephanie is a self confessed
‘workaholic,’ whose drive to succeed is evident in everything that she
takes on. When she does have some spare time however, she enjoys nothing
more than relaxing on her North Wales farm with her husband David and
its collection of rescue animals.
