ABOUT US
Richard is a Rolls Royce
trained mechanic who has raced motorbikes in the U.K. and
speedway T.Q. Midgets in New Zealand. His early training
included vintage and veteran car restoration working for
notable stars of the film industry and preparing cars that
were featured in films like Genevieve. He comes from a ‘car’
family and has 2 nephews in the U.K. – who have connections
with McLaren’s and TVR. His family has also been
closely linked with boxing over the years – his second
cousin was the World Light heavyweight Champion Freddie
Mills. His specialty in recent years has been English and
European car restoration and he still has a passion for
classic cars. His other great interest is world events and
politics and many a lively evening has been spent around the
dinner table sorting out the world’s problems!
Kadia has a Masters
Degree with a major in Tudor history – so buying Lansdowne
House seemed an appropriate choice! She owned a recruitment
company for many years working for many leading national and
international companies. With a lifelong interest in
cooking, interior design and entertaining, Lansdowne House
has been the culmination of all of those interests. As she
is half Norwegian she also loves to travel and both she and
Richard have been on many overseas trips together. Her other
great love are her St Bernards –
she has had 7 in all – Paddington,
Chelsea, Wellington, Georgie, Abbey Road, Sammy Girl and now
Jazz - Jazzie to her friends - who is 9 months old and
everyone's darling! We have had many occasions over the
years where people have asked to bring their dogs to
Lansdowne House to celebrate their special day. We are
always happy to have a beloved family dog here and Jazzie is
always happy to welcome them!
Richard and Kadia have now been at
Lansdowne House for 13 years and have created a niche market
specialising in weddings, 50th an 60th wedding anniversaries
and very special birthdays. There is nothing more
satisfying, Kadia says, than seeing a group of people,
family and friends, coming together to celebrate and enjoy a
special occasion.
Oh
and the ghosts: Yes, we have two – both very friendly and one is
particularly fond of walking down the main staircase smoking
a very fragrant cigar!!
