Brian Baldwin, CEO of Castle Leslie Estate
At the helm of Castle Leslie Estate since 2008, Brian is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests while preserving the unique heritage of our 1000-acre estate.
“The most important ingredients to a successful hotel are its team and its guests’ happiness.”
My colleagues at Castle Leslie Estate are central to our success. Putting the team members first is at the heart of our mission, purpose, and goals. More importantly, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels valued, celebrated for their uniqueness, and empowered to give their best.
A supportive workplace where team members feel secure, engaged and continually developed is key to building an award-winning team and delivering exceptional experiences for our guests.
I am incredibly proud of our team and their achievements; they have won multiple awards, and together we have seen the business grow from strength to strength.
Many of my colleagues, both within senior and junior roles, have worked alongside me over these past 17 years. We look forward to many more years ahead, creating the magic of Castle Leslie Estate.
Away from work, Brian is a lover of music and is an avid concertgoer! He also loves the outdoors, podcasts and all things sport.
