The handover was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday 5th December, led by David Seaman MBE former England footballer. He was joined by Alan Whiteley, CEO of Champneys, Theo Hajoglou, Director at Cheyne Capital, and representatives from Derbyshire County Council, signalling a strong partnership dedicated to safeguarding and elevating the Crescent’s legacy.
