Glasgow Westerwood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort has announced the appointment of John Abercrombie as its new general manager, marking a return to the hotel in which his hospitality career first began.
Set against the backdrop of the Campsie Hills, Glasgow Westerwood Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort is a contemporary hotel with 148 bedrooms, health club and spa, restaurant and bar, versatile event spaces, and an 18-hole championship golf course.
Abercrombie started at Glasgow Westerwood in junior roles in 2010. He worked across various departments before being promoted into management under the mentorship of former GM Richard Mayne.
He later joined Radisson, where he progressed through several managerial roles across sites in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and York. Abercrombie was the first graduate of Radisson’s global GM programme to be appointed as a GM and most recently served as GM for Radisson York.
Abercrombie said: “I grew up only 10 minutes away from this hotel and loved working here, so this feels like a full-circle moment for me. The hotel, as part of The QHotels Collection, has always been a forward-thinking company with a fantastic culture, and I’m excited to be part of its vision again, particularly with the new, exciting investments being made as we strengthen our reputation and place in the market.”
In his new position, he will oversee planned investments for 2025, which include the refurbishment of 50 bedrooms, continued improvements following last year’s restaurant and lounge renovation, enhancements to leisure facilities, and major golf course upgrades, encompassing signage, bunker renovations, greenkeeping, and site drainage improvements.
Over half a million pounds has already been invested in the resort in recent months, with further upgrades scheduled throughout the rest of this year.
