Miss Kerslake said she was excited to be back in Queenstown and to have secured a key role at the five star resort.

“I know Millbrook well through my previous time at Destination Queenstown so I’m looking forward to the challenge of working in this multi-faceted business,” she said.

As Sales Coordinator, Miss Kerslake reports directly to Kim Carpenter, Millbrook Resort’s Director of Sales and Marketing, and will provide support and assistance in delivering initiatives to drive sales across the hotel, golf, spa and food and beverage areas of the business.

She will open up direct lines of communication, internally and externally, for staff, customers, local businesses and local tour operators, and will be helping with Millbrook’s C&I presence as well, driving the C&I market forward with Sales Manager Karen Whittaker.

“Anna’s professional attitude and enthusiasm combined with her wealth of experience convinced us she is the perfect candidate for this role,” he said. “She has a whole range of ideas and a great rapport with everyone she talks to.
