The Person
Ideally, we are looking to attract a highly driven and experienced multi-site professional with strong operational and commercial experiences, someone who perhaps could be working for a small medium independent operator and is now looking to take that next step up in their career development.
Our client at this stage in their Portfolio development is not excited about attracting a cluster or area Hotel operator who has been working in Multi-sited Branded Hotel background. Unless, you can clearly demonstrate they have worked in non-branded and privately owned estates and fully understand the major trading differences between operating with a Regional group of Branded Hotels of running and controlling that of a Regional Group of Unbranded Hotels. As ROD you will clearly be able to demonstrate your career growth to date and perhaps you are set on aiming towards being a future Managing Director within the next 2 to 3 years. Our clients would see this individual as being someone they would like their retained consultants to be talking to. As retained consultants, Xpress would be delighted at this stage in the process to initially talk to all interested parties corporate trained, balanced with perhaps a sprinkle of entrepreneurial exposure or indeed those from asset management who have operational experience.
The Place
Our client is a large Property Organisation that over the last 10 years has been growing and developing their own Independent Hotel portfolio which has predominantly been through acquisition, as a business our client over the next 5 years is looking at future growth and expansion within the Accommodation marketplace.
