Interstate Europe appoints new regional sales director

Third-party hotel management company, Interstate Europe Hotel & Resorts, has appointed a new regional sales director.

Wendy Benson joins the Glasgow-based firm following a career in hospitality sales, including previous posts at De Vere Hotels, The Principle Hotel Company and InterContinental Hotels Group.

Benson will be responsible for managing sales at properties in locations such as Edinburgh, London, Aberdeen, Durham and Stevenage.

Benson said: “I love the variety of the industry and in my new post with Interstate, I will be working with a very diverse range of properties – from city centre to rural as well as airports.

“I’m looking forward to working with each of the individual hotel sales teams to build on the great work they’re already doing and maximising returns for our owners in each location.”

Nicholas Northam, managing director for Interstate Europe, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Wendy to the team.

“Wendy brings with her a wealth of valuable industry sales experience and I’m confident she’ll flourish in her new role here with Interstate, as we continue to expand our UK portfolio.”
