Queens Hotel General Manager is raising funds for CEO Sleepout

Our General Manager, Paul Playford, is swapping the comforts of a warm bed for a night sleeping under the stars at the CEO Sleepout, Portsmouth.

In his day job, Paul can be found looking after some of the top bedrooms in the city. However, on Thursday April 27th, he’s stepping out of the hotel to spend a night sleeping at Fratton Park, and it’s all for a good cause.

He is taking part in the CEO Sleepout at Portsmouth Football Club to raise funds for local charities tackling homelessness in the city.

“This is such a great cause and when I heard about the CEO Sleepout I was keen to get involved.

“I hope businesses we work with will support what I am doing, as well as family and friends,” said Paul.

CEO Sleepout has raised £3.5 million for more than 100 charities working to tackle homelessness in cities across the UK.

“I would really appreciate any sponsorship that people can give me. It will certainly be an experience sleeping at the football ground in a sleeping bag.

“But I am the lucky one as it is only one night,” he added.
