A key appointment has been made at a prestigious hotel in the heart of Leeds City Centre.

Experienced hotelier Collin Ten Dam has joined the team as the new general manager to lead the running of the Leeds Marriott Hotel and assume responsibility for more than 100 associates on what has just been their 30th year in business.

The exciting new addition to the site will also continue to work closely with adjoining Italian Restaurant Gino D’Acampo, and bring the experience he’s led in both Hamburg and London to the staff and guests in Yorkshire.

Collin said: “I have loved my transition moving from London to Leeds. Being able to work in the heart of such a bustling, exciting city and immerse myself with the culture and people of the hotel has made me incredibly excited for what is to come for the Leeds Marriott in the future. It's my goal to build on the work that’s been done over the last three decades and introduce modernistic and sought-after additions to the site over the coming months.”
