Mike Deitemeyer, president and CEO of Aimbridge Hospitality, said: “We are thrilled to welcome David Anderson to the Interstate team at an important time of growth for the company.
“David’s background adds depth to the leadership for operations and development, as he brings with him an impressive amount of experience and expertise having worked across all operator models and under both management and franchise agreements.”
Deitemeyer added: “He will play a pivotal role in continuing to develop Interstate’s ambitious growth plans across the UK, Ireland, Continental Europe and Russia.
“Nick’s impact on Interstate’s growth during his tenure has been significant. From all of us at Aimbridge, we are grateful for his contributions.”
Anderson said: “I’m proud to be joining Interstate at such an exciting time for the company. Its growth in recent years has seen Interstate assert itself as a true leader in the industry, across multiple territories.
“I look forward to working with the team to continue this growth, realizing the company’s ambitious development plans while providing the exceptional service to owners and guests that Interstate is renowned for.”
