“I look forward to working across these great hotels, building on our ‘we do more’ culture and delivering operational excellence which will benefit our customers, our staff and our business as a whole.”
Welcoming Norman to the Board, Eugene McKeever, founder and Group Chair said:
“This is a very significant development which will help further our strategy and growth ambitions. Norman has proven he is the right fit for our team, bringing not only his years of experience but his sound understanding of what makes a hospitality organisation tick in terms of its operations, its culture, and its people.”
