Ronnie has almost 20 years’ experience in the hotel and hospitality industry and, since joining, has held general manager positions at two Daish’s hotels, The County Hotel in Kendal and, more recently, the Devonshire Hotel in Torquay. In his new role, he will oversee five hotel teams across Torquay, Newquay, and Weymouth.
With almost 35 years of hospitality and leisure industry experience, which includes running his own pub, and managing golf clubs and a hotel, John joins as a northern area manager. He will oversee our hotel teams across four locations – Kendal, Blackpool, Llandudno, and Scarborough.

Both will also oversee the implementation of company policies and procedures, as well as the latest legislation, to ensure each hotel in their region complies with relevant regulations.
On his promotion, Ronnie says: “Working for Daish’s is a wonderful opportunity. I feel involved in every aspect of the business, and I’m working with some fantastic people who share experiences and the knowledge they have gained over the years. Becoming an area manager was an opportunity I had to grab with both hands. A challenging role but well worth it. The Daish’s family is a talented team, and it’s a pleasure to come to work.”
Paul Harper, commercial director at Bournemouth-based Daish’s Holidays, adds: “We wish to congratulate Ronnie on his well-deserved promotion and to welcome John to the Daish’s family. We are excited to have both Ronnie and John in management roles and wish them well as they bring their talents and experiences to our wider teams.”
