Chateau Impney was sold to Queens Moat Houses in 1973, with Zeljko Stephen Raguz appointed as hotel manager. Between 1976 and 1980, he built the Conference and Events Centre. The expansive Regent Centre, intended as an exhibition space, later followed in 1992. Raguz bought Chateau Impney in 1981 and, at the same time, purchased the Raven Hotel and Worcestershire Brine Baths Hotel in Droitwich, which both have historical ties to John Corbett. Raguz ran Chateau Impney until 2009, when poor health made him unable to continue.
