Travelodge has announced the appointment of Kirsty Berry to the role of head of estates, effective immediately.
Berry first joined the hotel chain in 2022 as regional estate manager, with a background in property for a number of multi-site businesses including Domino’s UK and Majestic Wines.
During her time at Travelodge, Berry has been involved in various sublet deals and lease regears including leading a sublet agreement for one of the UK’s first Popeye’s drive-thrus at the Travelodge Northampton Way site – announced last year.
Reporting into the chief property and development officer, Berry will be overseeing all operations of the estates function, made up of six team members, and is currently looking to expand the team further by the appointment of a regional estates manager in the south.
Steve Bennett, chief property and development officer at Travelodge, said: “We are delighted to be promoting Kirsty to the position of head of estates, as she has proven to be integral to the recent success of the estates function.
“Kirsty’s industry expertise and experience represents a significant benefit to Travelodge as a business, and she has already played a crucial role in the growing and improving estates management team since joining in 2022.”
Travelodge has an estate of nearly 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, with over 580 of these hotels located throughout the UK. In addition, the group has a large sublet estate, with over 150 subtenants.
