Hotel GM leaves on a high before taking over at Touchwood Solihull

What a send-off! Tony Elvin’s five-year ‘stint’ as general manager of Hotel du Vin, Birmingham came to end with a wonderful farewell dinner attended by more than 70 of his favourite guests. Billed as ‘Tony’s Last Stand’, the gathering enjoyed a four-course dinner with great wine – a fitting way to say goodbye to Tony before he started his new job as general manager of Touchwood shopping centre, Solihull.
