Our team

It’s a beautiful place to work and the members are great, each and every one of them is unique and special and without them the club would be a very boring place. I have met some lovely people over the years and have worked with some fantastic staff. Edgbaston Priory Club has played a big part in my life, even if you don’t always feel the best there is always someone here to brighten your day. I feel very lucky.

Sue Harris

Clerk To The Board

I joined the club shortly after graduating, starting out as a part time Marketing Assistant. Since then, my role has grown into a full-time position, and I have been fully supported every step of the way. The encouragement and trust I have received has helped me grow not only professionally, but personally too, particularly in terms of confidence. The environment here is genuinely special. The site itself is beautiful, but it is the people who really make it what it is. What makes this place unique is the incredible variety of things going on, brought together by a team that works collaboratively and supports each other. Wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do, and the connection between mental and physical health is genuinely inspiring. It really is a place to belong, whether you are a member or part of the team.

Ellie Johns

Marketing Assistant

I have worked at The Edgabston Priory Club for the last 12 months and I have been blown away by the friendly atmosphere amongst both staff and members. It is really special to witness the positive impact we are having on the lives of our members and it is particularly powerful when all colleagues come together as one big team. The supportive culture here at the club allows each individual to develop both personally and professionally and the multifaceted nature of the club creates extensive opportunities for our staff to prosper and succeed.

Simon Haddleton

Head of Tennis

What makes our work unique is the breadth of our responsibility. We are not only turf specialists but also the caretakers of the club’s horticultural and landscaped areas. This includes ornamental and shrub beds, wildlife zones, amenity lawns, tree care, and all the seasonal planting we grow ourselves in the on‑site polytunnel. Alongside this, we undertake much of our own machinery maintenance and ensure the site remains safe and accessible throughout the winter through gritting, snow clearance, and general operational support.
