Brent Duncan Appointed Director of Catering and Conference Services at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California

Duncan returns home to the Conejo Valley after working in six Four Seasons hotels and resorts from coast to coast

Los Angeles, Westlake Village, U.S.A. – 2012-11-12 — /travelprnews.com/ — With 15 years of experience in hospitality, Brent Duncan is the new Director of Catering and Conference Services at Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California near Los Angeles. This new position marks a “coming home” for the graduate of Newbury Park High School, located just 10 miles from the AAA Five Diamond-rated Hotel. During his formative years in the Conejo Valley, Duncan was inspired to pursue a career in hospitality at an early age, thanks to his father’s career in the cruise industry.

In his new position, Duncan oversees a team of eight to provide seamless service and a creative approach for corporate group meetings, executive retreats, weddings, galas, fundraisers and other private events taking place in the more than 120,000 square feet (11,150 square metres) of indoor and outdoor function space at the Hotel. Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village also provides off-site catering at nearby venues including Saddlepeak Ranch at Malibu Family Wines, and private residences.

Previously, he was Executive Director of Catering and Conference Services at Four Seasons Resort Whistler in British Columbia, Canada prior to returning to California. There, he had the unique opportunity to oversee catering, conference services and banquets. This provided an additional level of insight regarding how to create a seamless experience from the planning phases of an event through the execution of the function itself, including off-site catering events.

Prior to his tenure in Whistler, Duncan served as Director of Catering and Conference Services for the two Four Seasons Resorts Lanai. Previously, he held various positions in conference services, banquets and food and beverage at Four Seasons Resort and Club Dallas at Las Colinas, Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta and the formerFour Seasons Hotel Newport Beach. His first position with the company was Assistant Banquet Manager at Four Seasons Hotel Austin.

Duncan is a graduate of the hotel administration program at University of Nevada at Las Vegas. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his wife, Noelle, and three children ages three months to six years old. He is also an avid road cyclist, a hobby he looks forward to pursuing on the canyon roads between Westlake Village and Malibu.
