UK: Five-star independent hotel The Torridon, located in the Scottish Highlands, has promoted two staff members to its leadership team.
Ross Aitchison has been appointed as general manager after 10 years at the property.
Prior to joining The Torridon in 2013, he previously held operational roles at Lucknam Park and Bath Priory Hotel.
Allan Paterson, the hotel’s marketing manager, has also been promoted to commercial manager. He will be responsible for overseeing marketing, revenue, sustainability, and business development and growth.
Paterson originally joined The Torridon as a graduate trainee in marketing. He returned in 2022 to take over the marketing function.

This is an exciting time for The Torridon, cementing the resort as one of Britain’s leading retreats – both to visit and work.”
