Lore Group, the London based hospitality company behind Sea Containers London, Pulitzer Amsterdam and the recently launched One Hundred Shoreditch, have made two key additions to their executive team with Matthew Thomas joining as Chief Operating Officer and Fiona Morgan as Global Director of Sales, Marketing & PR.
Matthew Thomas, the group’s new Chief Operating Officer (a role previously held by CEO David Taylor) joins Lore Group from the Timothy Oulton Hospitality Collection where he held the position of CEO. Prior to this Matthew was with Soho House, holding General Manager roles in New York and Istanbul before being promoted in 2015 to COO of Soho House for Europe. In his new role Matthew will oversee the operations of the group including hotels, restaurants and bars.
Before joining Lore Group, Fiona Morgan ran her own consultancy firm for a decade, working with notable hotels such as the Nomad London, The Standard and Chiltern Firehouse, while also representing 14 independent hotels in locations including LA, Miami and London. Previously Fiona was London Regional Director of Sales & Marketing for Morgan’s Hotel Group and Global Director of Sales for Como Hotels & Resorts. In her new role, Fiona will lead the group’s strategy across Sales, Marketing and PR for all current and future properties.
David Taylor, Lore Group’s CEO, commented: “I’m thrilled to have Matthew and Fiona on board and look forward to working with them to shore up our existing hotels and operating platform, and position the group as we expand into new cities with additional properties. Their wealth of experience and reputation in their respective fields are a huge asset to our group.”
