Cameron House Hotel appoints new general manager

Cameron House has appointed Allan Wilson to the role of general manager as it celebrates its 200th anniversary this year.

Wilson joins Cameron House from his previous position as hotel manager at IHG Voco Grand Central Hotel, Glasgow, where he was responsible for overseeing all operational departments.

He was also involved in the re-opening and re-launching of the hotel as a Voco brand.

Wilson said: “I have always regarded Cameron House as being at the pinnacle of the finest hospitality in Scotland. It’s a dream come true to work at the country’s most treasured and historical hotels alongside an inspiring and talented team of professionals.

“I’m very much a people person and I am driven by nurturing talent. To me, our staff are our biggest asset as they deliver exceptional standards of service and warmth of Scottish hospitality. I couldn’t be prouder to lead one of Scotland’s most renowned hotels at a time in the hotel’s future. Cameron House has a rich heritage and incredibly loyal employees, and to be part of its legacy is an exciting prospect.”

Jennifer Jurgensen, director of human resources at Cameron House Hotel, added: “Allan brings genuine passion for hospitality and integrity to the team at Cameron House Resort.
