The Brook Group has appointed Peter Banks as strategy and development consultant, and Glen Taylor as general manager at Aysgarth Falls Hotel. Their arrivals mark a wider return to hospitality for The Brook Group, which is returning to the hospitality market after years in the commercial property industry. Mr Taylor said: "I am delighted to be joining Aysgarth Falls Hotel at such an exciting stage in its development. These appointments come as Aysgarth Falls Hotel enters an "exciting new phase" of growth, with the unveiling of 14 new luxurious suites later this year, each designed to reflect the beauty of the surrounding Yorkshire Dales. The Brook Group is a leisure and development company focused on creating "premium retreat-style venues" in scenic locations across the UK.
