Biography[edit]

In 1990 Morgan-Hewitt joined The Goring. By 1996, he had been made General Manager, before going on to become Managing Director in 2006.[5]

In 2011, Morgan-Hewitt asked the Royal Family whether there was "anything we could do to help", in relation to the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton. As a result, Kate Middleton chose to spend the night before the wedding at The Goring. A reception was also held there.[6]

In 2013, Queen Elizabeth II granted The Goring a royal warrant of appointment, which Morgan-Hewitt is responsible for maintaining.[7][8] Morgan-Hewitt has earned a reputation for providing exemplary hospitality, and in 2015 the readers of Luxury Travel Advisor voted him “Top General Manager Worldwide.”[9]

Morgan-Hewitt is Honorary Catering Advisor Defence, advising the Army, RAF and Navy on matters to do with their catering arrangements for their personnel.[10] In addition he is a Master Innholder, Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Innholders[11] and Ambassador for the English National Ballet.[12]
