Bluestone has announced the appointment of Rebecca Rigby as Managing Director as part of changes to strengthen the leadership of the Pembrokeshire resort for the future.

Rebecca, currently the resort’s Director of Operations, will lead Bluestone's new Executive Group, bringing together the senior leaders responsible for the key areas of the business.

William McNamara will move to a new role as Chairman of Bluestone, with an increasing focus on the long-term direction and development of the business.

He said:“Bluestone has come a very long way since we first opened our doors, and that has only been possible because of the extraordinary commitment of our people and the support of our guests and community.

“As the business has developed, we have always been prepared to evolve with it. This is an important step in ensuring we have the leadership capacity and structure to build on what we have achieved and take Bluestone forward with confidence.

“Rebecca knows Bluestone extremely well and brings to the role many years of sector experience, including the last seven years as Director of Operations, approaching everything with passion, commitment, focus, and fairness.

“I am delighted that she will be taking on the role and look forward to working closely with her as we continue to develop the business.”

Rebecca said:“It is a real privilege to be asked to lead Bluestone. This is a very special business, with fantastic people and a strong sense of what it stands for. I’m excited about what we can achieve together, and my focus will be on building on the strengths we already have: delivering an exceptional experience for our guests, supporting our people and ensuring Bluestone continues to thrive for many years to come.”

As part of these changes, Bluestone’s Finance Director, Giles McNamara, will also join the BRWL Board.
