Meet The Team

Managing Director and resident owner, Rachel bought De Courceys with her family in 2009. Prior to that, she enjoyed a successful career in hotel sales management and also conference and corporate event management.

Our passion for perfection has made this the first choice for occasions and events of every kind and size. Because it is independently owned, you can be certain that the service you receive is personal, and that every detail is planned and delivered. Situated in beautifully landscaped grounds in rural surroundings, De Courceys Manor is unique not only in its setting – but also in the service, warmth and hospitality, and the way that every event and every guest is treated as individual.

Rachel Dancey
Rachel's passion for attention to detail and high service levels found it roots working for prestigious brands such as Aston Martin, Virgin Atlantic and British Airways. These days any time off is spent with her young family.

Tilly
Tilly is the Manors resident West Highland Terrier and is a very much considered the De Courceys mascot. She enjoys coming to work with Rachel and being part of the team. On quieter days she can be found snuggled up by the Cocktail lounge fire.

Lewis Davies
Lewis, our Operations Manager, joined the team in 2011 and has enjoyed creating strong relationships with customers and suppliers alike. His vivacious personality and dedication to the Manor has ensured his popularity with everyone that meets him.

Abigail Hartson
As a highly organised Weddings and Events Manager, Abbie has enjoyed huge success creating the perfect wedding day for the many couples that have chosen the Manor, and her dedication knows no bounds. In her spare time she focuses on her other passion...shopping!

Nicola Gee
