Warner Leisure Hotels has announced the appointment of Paul Pomroy as its new CEO.
With almost 30 years’ experience in the hospitality trade, Pomroy joins Warner Leisure Hotels from McDonald’s.
During his time at McDonald’s, he held senior leadership roles, including as CEO of McDonald’s UK.
Most recently, he held the role as chief restaurant officer and corporate senior vice president, International Operated Markets.
In his new role as CEO, he will continue to pursue Warner Leisure Hotels’ expansion programme, building on the success of the business’ recent investment in its portfolio of high-quality hotels.
Pomroy said: “I am thrilled to be joining Warner at an exciting time, as the brand continues to propel its growth strategy and build on its compelling short break proposition. As a beloved British brand, I’m eager to bring my hospitality experience to this next phase, working together with my new colleagues and the executive team to further strengthen the Warner experience for guests and team alike.”
James Seppala, head of Blackstone Real Estate Europe, added: “We are delighted to welcome Paul Pomroy, who brings a wealth of leadership experience to the business, and a proven track record in the hospitality sector.
“Hospitality is one of our highest conviction themes globally and following the recent acquisitions of Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club and The Forest of Arden Country Club, Warner is in a strong position to capitalise on the growth of the domestic tourism market. I am confident Paul will continue to build on the success of the business and deliver value to our investors.”
