Meet the Team

Tell us a little about yourself…

I'm Sam, one of the co-owners of Sungrove Villas, alongside my brother Nick. When I'm not working, I'm a proud mum to two football-obsessed boys, spending much of my time chauffeuring them around. Luckily I love football!

I'm passionate about interior design and property, which is a great fit for our business as it helps us choose the perfect villas for our guests to enjoy.

I also love food, cooking and fitness.

How long have you been with Sungrove, and what did you do before this?

I joined our family business in 2014 after taking maternity leave. Prior to that, I worked in recruitment for 10 years, with my final role being a Recruitment Manager in the Nuclear industry.

What does a typical day look like for you?

I love a list, so I will start by writing down my priorities for the day. I will then work through my emails. We pride ourselves on quick communication, so this is always first on my agenda. I manage our social media channels, so I’ll spend time engaging with followers and scheduling new content for the week. I ensure guest satisfaction by checking in with current guests, managing any bookings and following up with guests post stay. I spend time helping property owners maximise their rental income and recruiting new properties.

What’s your favourite part of your role?

I truly love being part of people’s unforgettable holidays, often their ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ trips. Orlando is such a magical place, and I still cherish the memories of my childhood visits. It feels incredibly rewarding to help others create their own special memories.
