Doubletree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly Welcomes Alistair Campbell as New GM
Alistair Campbell has been appointed as the new General Manager of DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly, bringing nearly three decades of industry-leading experience to the popular city centre hotel.
Working in the hospitality industry since the age of 18, Alistair has successfully navigated his career to General Manager positions at several top hotels across the UK. Most recently, he served as General Manager at The Queens Hotel, Leeds. He has now joined the DoubleTree by Hilton team in the city he has proudly called home for 12 years.
The Glasgow-born General Manager relocated to Manchester to immerse himself in the city's vibrant hospitality scene. Since then, he has successfully led both the Park Inn by Radisson Manchester City Centre and Radisson Blu Manchester Airport. With a long-standing connection to the Hilton brand from earlier roles in Scotland, his ambition was always to return to Hilton, making this appointment a natural next step in his career.
DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly is operated by leading hospitality management company, Valor Hospitality and owned by ProsperCap. With a portfolio of 40 hotels across the UK, Valor is a trusted partner for hotel owners and investors.
Citing this as part of his reason to join the hotel, Alistair commented: "At this point in my career, my next role was really important to me. I knew I had to be working with the right company that invests in its people. I'm happy to say I have found that with Valor. It has a great reputation within the industry, and I can certainly see why."
In his new role, Alistair will work closely with the Valor Hospitality leadership team to ensure guest satisfaction is maximised, team engagement remains high and financial performance is optimised.
Alistair continued: "Opportunities to become General Manager of a hotel like DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly are rare. As a key player in the city centre, the hotel is perfectly located and renowned for delivering outstanding guest experiences. I am fortunate to be joining a business that is already thriving, thanks to the exceptional team and leadership of the previous General Manager. I now look forward to building on this success, driving the team forward, and ensuring the hotel continues to be a highly respected presence in this incredible city."
Brian McCarthy, Valor Hospitality's UK President, commented: "Alistair is a well-respected, experienced and high-quality General Manager. For a hotel like DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly, we needed a GM who understands the city, has a passion for hospitality and can deliver great results for the hotel's owners. Alistair fits this description perfectly. He is leading a great hotel that we're all proud of, and I'm looking forward to seeing how he can support his very capable team in this new phase."
