Fairmont Southampton To Host Event In London
Fairmont Southampton will host a “recruitment and engagement event” in London on May 7th as “part of a targeted effort to reconnect with Bermudians living abroad and invite them to be part of the resort’s highly anticipated 2026 reopening.”
A spokesperson said, “Fairmont Southampton, in collaboration with the Government of Bermuda London Office, will host a London-based recruitment and engagement event on Thursday, May 7, 2026, as part of a targeted effort to reconnect with Bermudians living abroad and invite them to be part of the resort’s highly anticipated 2026 reopening.
“Set against the backdrop of a landmark $550 million redevelopment, the event positions Fairmont Southampton’s return not simply as a reopening, but as a defining moment for Bermuda – and a unique opportunity for Bermudians overseas to contribute to and grow within one of the island’s most significant hospitality transformations to date.
“The evening will bring together Bermudians based in the United Kingdom, alongside students and professionals across a range of disciplines, for a structured and insight-led experience. Attendees will gain a first look at the reimagined resort, an understanding of the vision driving its next chapter, and visibility into the breadth of roles that will shape its return.
“Importantly, the event offers early access – providing attendees the opportunity to meet key Fairmont Southampton leaders, introduce themselves ahead of broader recruitment efforts, and gain a meaningful edge as hiring activity accelerates in the months ahead.”
“This goes beyond an event – it’s about reconnecting with Bermudian talent abroad and showing them how they can play a role in what comes next.,” said Donna Harvey-Maybury, Director of People & Culture at Fairmont Southampton. “We are building something of real scale and significance, and this is an opportunity to reconnect with talent, open doors early and create pathways for Bermudians to be part of this next chapter.”
A spokesperson added, “The Government of Bermuda London Office, which serves as the Government’s diplomatic presence in the United Kingdom, is partnering on the initiative to support the continued engagement of Bermudians overseas with opportunities at home.”
Kimberley Durrant, Director of the London Office and UK Representative for the Government of Bermuda, said “Part of our role is ensuring that Bermudians abroad remain connected to meaningful opportunities at home. We are proud to partner with Fairmont Southampton to open doors for those who may be considering a return, and would encourage Bermudians in the United Kingdom to attend the recruitment drive.”
A spokesperson added, “The London event represents the first in a series of targeted engagement efforts, with additional international outreach under consideration as momentum builds toward the reopening.
“Attendance is limited. This is a ticketed event with complimentary entry and advance registration is required.
