 &ldquo;We were delighted to welcome our team members in a relaxed and casual atmosphere to celebrate together,&#8221; Hayfield Family Collection Managing Director, Michael Jacobi, said.
 &#8220;We are privileged to operate three beautiful hotels but it is the staff in the hotels that really make the difference! Our staff parties are a great opportunity to thank every single one of our colleagues for their hard work and for the incredible hospitality they provide to our guests. After a challenging but successful 2022 we are now looking forward to creating more memorable experiences in 2023.&rdquo;
