Also at De Vere, John Rogers has been appointed marketing director for the group. John previously held the same position at coffee bar operator Costa. The role is a new one, developed after the position of director of marketing and strategy was split into two roles. Former holder of this role Alaister McNee has become corporate planning director.
Husband-and-wife team Steve and Diane Smith have joined Campanile UK's Birmingham hotel as general managers. Before joining the 111-bedroom property, the couple worked at the Lower Slaughter Manor and Washbourne Court hotels, both part of Von Essen, in Gloucestershire.
