Lucy de Burgh

Through my experience in the hospitality sector at The Renaissance Club and Hotel Christiania, I have developed strong client relations, teamwork, and organisational skills, which I have effectively applied in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. My background in customer service is complemented by my communication abilities, as well as my experience in events and administration. Through my gallery role I have exercised my keen attention to detail and commitment to cultivating welcoming atmospheres and delivering a high standard of service, ensuring an exceptional guest experience.

• Studying Art: I am fascinated about the art world and enjoy studying specific artists and historical movements. I love that the study of art provides a lens to explore a country's history, politics, and cultural identity, offering insights into the shaping of global developments and interconnected narratives.
• Wine: My connection with de Burgh Wine Merchants has expanded my knowledge of various vintages, grape varieties, and wine regions. Engaging in tastings has refined my palate and strengthened my passion for the complexities and structure of wine.
• Skiing: I spent the 2021-22 season in the French Alps at Les Gets resort, where I was a housekeeper and waitress, the job allowed me to ski through the day and do so for four months.
• Travel: My earnings have allowed me to travel extensively through Central America, South East Asia and Canada where I enjoyed trekking and exploring their art and history.
• Reading: I am a bit of a book worm; I love reading books dramatised by the writer which are based on a real historical period or event. This year I've enjoyed one on the Biafran War by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and the East of Eden.
