I was the opening Director of Sales for new £60 million 4 Star property in Leeds City Centre with 333 beds and 19 meeting rooms. I was responsible for driving all sales into Hotel, both bedrooms and Meetings/Events occupancy. Part of my role was to establish key partnerships with local companies, government departments and organisations, as part of a strategy to launch the brand into the market. I introduced and manage the relationship with the Government office for Yorkshire, HSBC, HBOS and Northern Ballet Theatre amongst many others. I managed the sales team of 3 people and held a personal target of £650k for the first year. Working in a very highly pressurised environment to set deadlines and targets. P&L analysis to ensure targeted sales efforts. By June 2010 the Hotel was operating at 72% occupancy. I achieved over 200% of my new business target.

Won "Sales manager of the year" for 2008 by achieving 120% of £500k target. Managing a team of 4 sales people. Was headhunted to work for City Inn.
