/PRNewswire/ --

Macdonald Hotels has announced several personnel changes, including the

arrival of several new employees to the company and the departure of some

existing staff members.

Firstly, Fiona Raymen has made the decision to take on a much larger role in

Edinburgh

heading up a call centre operation for Johnstone Press. Fiona

brought structure and measurement to CRO and Macdonald Hotels has wished

her every success in her new role. Joan Adams, who has a background working

for Thomas Cook, started on 11 June to continue the good work that Fiona

started.

On 15 June, Pamela Robertson left the group to venture to new pastures,

marketing the hire of formal wear. Pamela was a great asset to the marketing

team over the last three years. Macdonald Hotels has thanked her for her

contribution, wishing her all the very best in her new role.

To replace Pamela, the hotel group announced the appointment of Vanessa

Kennedy, who joined the team on 11 June after having spent the last year at

VisitScotland working as the Brand Partnership Manager. Previous to that,

Vanessa worked 11 years at AVC Creative marketing agency in Aberdeen.

Macdonald hotels also announced the replacement of Alison Conroy in the

position of Corporate Marketing Manager. Lindsay Crozier is set to start on

Monday 2 July, having spent the last 14 months working in a sales role for FLOW

hospitality, offering training to the hospitality industry. She previously held

marketing roles with House of Fraser and Montpellier's Group. Lindsay will take

ownership of the Club loyalty scheme particularly to drive greater efficiencies

and costs savings as well as supporting the company's corporate and

conference marketing plan.

It has also been agreed that Esther Conn will focus her substantial expertise

and energies in growing and developing Macdonald Hotels' key corporate and

conference accounts as well as travel trade. With Esther moving into this

revised role as Head of Agency Sales and Travel Trade, the company is

currently recruiting for Head of Sales to drive the overall sales strategy for the

business as well as to take a much more active role in managing and

developing the unit based and central sales teams. There has already been a

lot of interest in this new role and Macdonald Hotels hopes to make an

appointment in the coming weeks.
