Tamara Unwin
Update
It is with great sadness that we are writing to inform you that Tamara Unwin passed away peacefully yesterday on her 69th birthday surrounded by her precious beloved family, following her brave battle with cancer.

Tamara worked in the family company since the late 70's and was instrumental in building the Copella brand as Marketing Director until we sold it in 1997. Since then she has worked as a Director of the Stoke by Nayland Club and has been involved in all aspects of sales and marketing. She was also the driving force behind the PR campaigns, and in her charming way brought us our tournaments and events as well as cultivating our relationships with the premier football clubs when the hotel first opened. Tamara was passionate about the environment and she applied her love of nature and gardens to beautifying the grounds of the Hotel.

Tamara was an inspiration to many and loved by all. Her positivity and enthusiasm was infectious to everyone around her. She was a glowing star whenever she entered a room. With her tremendous energy, drive, enthusiasm, skill and relentless and unwavering determination, she has helped to build the business to where it is today. Her dedication and love for the family businesses, and feeling of responsibility to her heritage were part of the driving force of her success. Tamara was a shining light to all who knew her – she was a rare gem, a one-off and will be sorely missed by all.
