52 SPOTLIGHT In this edition the spotlight falls on Susan Henderson Owner of The Poplars in Moulton What’s your background? I was born in to Hospitality as my parents had pubs and hotels when I was growing up. Although I always helped (for free of course), they encouraged me to pursue my own career. I had a very successful career in London working for various companies for over 24 years. What first got you interested in becoming proprietor of The Poplars? When I had made the decision to leave the city I knew I wanted a B & B or small hotel. The Poplars was the first place that I was given details of. I arrived with my mother as she has a ‘shrewd eye’. I loved that it was such a historic building and that the village had a great community vibe. At the time I did not envisage moving to Northampton so I spent almost a year travelling and searching in more touristy areas like Malvern, Stratford Upon Avon and the Cotswolds. I then revisited The Poplars carried out my due diligence and here I am. And yes, my mother still likes to say ‘I told you so’. What do you enjoy most about what you do? Absolutely everything. I love meeting new people every day and looking after our regular customers. We have so many returning guests and that is a testament to what we do here. I have a superb team and am very proud of the work they do here. We have a very high rating on Trip Advisor and that is down to them. How would you describe yourself in four words? Resilient, Compassionate, Gregarious and Hard-working. What ambitions do you have for the future? The building is over 300 years old so I plan to be sympathetic and maintain it as best I can without over modernising it. The Poplars plays an important role in bringing people to Moulton and the surrounding areas. I just want to continue with what we are currently doing as I think we have a great formula here. What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced? It was very difficult trying to refurb bathrooms and bedrooms in such and old building and remain open for ‘business as usual’. We could only do one or two at a time as it was so busy and the plumbing in a building this old is always temperamental to say the least. It put the team under a lot of pressure but with perseverance and humour we got through it. What’s the funniest moment you can recall? So many to choose from but a lovely older gentleman left his wife in the dining room at breakfast to fetch something from his room. Upon returning he came back in and sat at a different table for quite some time before he noticed his wife eating her breakfast alone at their table. He had the whole room in laughter. Have you ever had any famous guests staying? A few that would probably prefer not to be mentioned but also some members from S Club 7, Fairport Convention, Brian Jacks and comedian Dylan Moran.
