Dame Ellen MacArthur Visits Glen-Yr-Afon House

Hotel Team Adds Sparkle To Business Week Launch

Posted on: November 1 2008

The Glen-Yr-Afon House Hotel was honoured when it was chosen as the favoured venue for the Business Week launch breakfast on 20 October attended by guest speaker Dame Ellen MacArthur. The record breaking yachtswoman entertained guests with tales of her single-handed sailing exploits and explained her current role in raising awareness in the better use of energy resources.

The Glen-Yr-Afon presented her with a Jeroboam of champagne to signal the Business Week’s official launch and Dame Ellen was delighted to have a photo taken with some of the team that in her own words 'had made her stay so very comfortable'.

Another first for Monmouthshire's favourite hotel!
