Rob first joined the Hospital Club in 2004 when the Food & Beverage operation came into being.

Having completed a degree in Urban Estate Management, Rob left the UK for 8 years, spending long stops in America, Australia, and finally Hong Kong working with The 97 Group. On returning to the UK Rob worked for the Chez Gerard group, and also set up and ran Thyme restaurant which won Carlton TV Best New Restaurant Award 2002, before joining the Hospital Club in 2004.

In 2006 Rob left to start a successful consultancy, working on a number of existing projects in Shoreditch and Docklands and the set-up of Trinity Restaurant (winner of AA Best London Restaurant 2007), before returning to the Club in 2007.

Rob is responsible for the London club operation, managing the restaurant, bar and reception teams. External Hospital Club events that Rob has run include the VIP area in Glastonbury, Frieze Art Fair, and The Club at the Cannes Film Festival.  Sometimes he even takes out the trash.

Renee is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Club, and the food and beverage on events both internal and external.

Before coming to The Hospital Club she travelled through South East Asia from Australia where she’d managed an award-winning Italian fine dining restaurant, cocktail bar and a French fine dining restaurant.  Renee originally graduated from uni with a BA Hons. in Humanities, majoring in Screen Studies and Screen Production Techniques having worked in hospitality to pay the bills.  On graduation, after lots of very badly paid freelance work and a short stint as a locations manager and Assistant Director making really bad TV ads, the lure of a regular pay packet was too much and she returned to her first true passion: hospitality (mainly to do with chatting with the regulars and having an excuse to drink wine…!) 

Renee says, ‘For me the best thing about working at The Hospital Club is that every day is different - and of course our members, who really are the Club!’ Hugely creative, Renee likes to write and make films and is looking forward to making her own short film next year in partnership with the Hospital Club. Her guilty pleasure? Chocolate éclairs!
