“In my photography darkroom, magic happens when I work beyond the rules, experiment with what can be instead of what should be. Mayfield is the same for me – sharing freedom, creativity, and courage to create something remarkable. Independent hotels. They deserve time in the limelight, and guests deserve better options. It is a journey we’ve been sharing with hotel owners and guests for over two decades, and Mayfield represents every good thing we’ve learned.”
Thomas Magnuson Co-Founder
“Freedom goes hand in hand with oppression, and for me it goes back to my great grandfather Louis Sala, an Italian immigrant to the USA in 1890. Louis stood up against worker oppression and labour exploitation by Idaho Silver Mine owners, and was sent to San Quentin for standing up for what’s right.
In this world where global corporations continue to apply pressure on small businesses, Mayfield, to me, is a personal commitment to honour the past and also to help independent hotels gain the freedom they deserve.”
Frankie Magnuson Chief Strategy Officer
”Marita Liebermann writes that ‘Every true connection presupposes separation and thereby generates diversity: just as the shores of the river must remain separate so that they can be joined by a bridge, so too with all other things, some must be and remain separate so that others can connect.’ I am proud of the work that we do here at Mayfield connecting our diverse portfolio of independent hotels to travelers seeking a unique experience, generating true connections.”
Lucy Armstrong Chief Marketing Officer
“To me, Mayfield is about respect and genuine care – respect for the small hotel owners (hotels) who keep our communities alive, and for the guests who rely on us every day: travelling nurses, teachers, carers, and essential workers. It’s about being heard, supported, and cared for.
A brand is nothing without strong foundations and a genuine belief in the good it can do. At Mayfield, we stand up for people who make the world go round – and that’s what makes being part of this team so meaningful.”
Summer Carroll Marketing Manager
”After spending time travelling the world, meeting incredible people and experiencing so many different cultures, I knew I wanted to be part of a company that truly shares my values. That’s why joining Mayfield felt like the perfect fit. It’s a brand that puts people first and celebrates independence with genuine support.
I am so proud of the work I get to do in representing hard-working owners of unique hotels which go back for generations. When your work helps make a real difference in communities, it’s incredibly rewarding – both professionally and personally.”
Harrison Beach Marketing Manager
”What drew me to this role – and what makes working at Mayfield so special – is the genuine passion and drive everyone has to make a difference.
Thomas and Melissa’s energy is infectious; their commitment to supporting independent hotel owners is truly inspiring. As Marketing Manager, I get to share that story every single day – and honestly, it’s such a joy.
Blending my love for creativity with a company that has such a strong sense of purpose and clear, meaningful messaging has been a real privilege – and something I’m genuinely proud of.”
