Cambridge’s A & B Guest House is proud to share the inspiring story of its Managing Director, Inga Grigaitiene, who rose from humble beginnings to achieve notable success in the hospitality industry.
Inga Grigaitiene, who began her career as a children’s nurse in Lithuania, underwent a significant life change when she relocated to the UK with just $400 borrowed from a family friend after her divorce. She was determined to start anew, focusing on her 8-year-old child’s financial education in a new country.
Her journey from a room cleaner to the Managing Director of A & B Guest House epitomises her steadfast dedication and resilience. Her initial role in the hospitality industry was at the Cambridge City Tenison Guest House, where she assumed leadership during the landlady’s health struggles with breast cancer.
The game-changing moment for Inga was when she took over A & B Guest House, located just down the road. Managing both establishments, Inga’s participation in “Hotel Inspector” with Alex Polizzi at Tenison Guest House was a key moment, leading to significant improvements. Her dedication resulted in international recognition through positive guest reviews and postcards.
Inga’s commitment to professional growth led her to invest £60,000 in hospitality courses, including Bed and Breakfast specialisations. Her dedication to learning and mastering English, her third language, showcases her commitment to professional excellence.
A & B Guest House, under Inga’s management, received the Hotels Combined Recognition of Excellence in 2022, with an impressive 8.5 guest rating. The establishment enjoys an 89% occupancy rate, reaching 94% in the summer months, a testament to the superior customer service provided by Inga and her team.
Inga Grigaitiene attributes the success of A & B Guest House to the value of cultural sensitivity and a dedication to ongoing improvement. She states, “Returning guests due to exceptional customer service are the biggest award.”
