Martin Wright has been appointed as the General Manager of
Drayton Manor Theme Park's multi-million pound hotel complex, which
is due to open this summer.
The 150-bedroom Drayton Manor Park Hotel will meet demand from
park visitors, corporate, conference and wedding guests, as well as
offering new hospitality facilities to cater to both private and
corporate functions. In addition, there will be two restaurants and
a coffee shop.
Martin, who grew up in Stoke-on-Trent and now lives in Tamworth,
has extensive experience within the hotel industry. Martin has
worked with Chardon Management for the past 11 years in a number of
branded franchised properties, including Holiday Inn and Choice
Hotels. Prior to this he worked for Posthouse, Jarvis Hotels,
Resort Hotels and Crown Hotels, totalling an impressive 24 years'
experience.
Colin Bryan, Managing Director, Drayton Manor Theme Park,
comments: "We're really pleased to welcome Martin in his new role
as General Manager of the Drayton Manor Park Hotel. He has worked
within the hotel industry for many years and brings a wealth of
experience. He will be an asset to the hotel and our team.
"Our hotel has been long-awaited and comes after many years of
planning. Construction work to the main build is almost complete
and work will soon begin on the internal fit-out and furnishing of
the bedrooms, so we're understandably very excited that the last
stages of the countdown to completion have now begun.
Colin concluded: "We are expecting 2011 to be a monumental year
as, in addition to the hotel, we will unveil two new rides,
Europe's first Ben 10 themed roller coaster, as well as a new,
family-friendly Thomas Land™ ride."
Martin said: "It's fantastic to have been involved with the
Drayton Manor Park Hotel from day one and see it take shape. I'm
really looking forward to the final touches being added and to
finally unveiling the hotel to the public and meeting and greeting
Drayton Manor's guests."
