Having joined Event Hospitality & Entertainment in 2012 after nearly five years at Hyundai Motor Company Australia, Stephen brings more than 15 years of experience across marketing and communications to his new role at Ovolo Hotels.
ÒOvolo is an amazing, fun and creative brand! The collection of hotels is setting a new benchmark for guest experiences through design, fashion, art and all-inclusive service with personality,Ó said Stephen when discussing the move.
ÒTheir recent acquisitions of amazing hotels such as The Emporium and Inchcolm hotels in Brisbane and the takeover of Canberra’s renowned Hotel Hotel is a testament to the company’s commitment to the Australian market.
ÒAdditionally, their commitment to bringing unique bar and dining concepts to Australia such as the soon to be launched Alibi Woolloomooloo, really cements the Ovolo collection of hotels as a designer lifestyle brand and the introduction of the Mojo Nomad brand to the company as a concept that combines travel, lifestyle and community – it’s an exciting time to be checking in.Ó
