Budget hotel brand Easyhotel has appointed Gary Burton as its new CFO, replacing Marc Vieilledent, who will become group development director.

Burton was previously finance director of Nuffield Health, having held a variety of senior finance and treasury roles during a nine-year career with Kingfisher. Prior to that he qualified as an associate member of corporate treasurers at Hewlett Packard.

As group development director Vielledent will have responsibility for leading the group’s development strategy, and will step down as from his current position as CFO in October.

CEO Guy Parsons said: “I am delighted to welcome Gary as CFO. With his commercial approach and considerable international experience, Gary will make a great addition to our board. I am also delighted that Marc is taking on the role of group development director. In his new role, he will more directly impact the success of the company’s strategy.

“Marc’s considerable experience in the hotel sector in Europe means he is ideally suited to drive this strand of our longer-term vision. Marc has been an outstanding CFO and we are very grateful for his significant contribution to the group in that role to date.”
