"I look forward to sharing my experience with the team at Macdonald Hotels & Resorts and forging a strong relationship with all those involved in food and drink provision, from the chefs through to bar staff, to ensure we continue to flourish."
David Guile, chief executive officer or Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, added: "I'm delighted that Harwood has joined our senior management team. He has an exceptional track record in the hospitality and brings great experience with him.
